Ubuntu Networking :: Recommendations For A Broadband Card?

Feb 15, 2011

I am looking for recommendations for a broadband card for use in North Central Illinois.I want to go the prepaid route as I will not need the card on a regular basis. I found T-Mobile, Verizon, Virgin Mobile, and Cricket. Cricket is not an option as they do not serve the area I will be in. So can anyone recommend a carrier and a broadband card that is Linux friendly and works well?

Ubuntu Networking :: Get Information About The Broadband Modem SIM Card?

Jan 24, 2011

How do I get information about the SIM card of my USB broadband modem, for example it's phone number, serial number and so on, in Ubuntu 10.04?Not about the usb modem itself - just the SIM card inside it.Is there a way to probe it from the terminal, like you probe for usb devices with lsusb?

Ubuntu :: Mobile Broadband Networking : Card Won't Connect Right / Get It To Work?

Mar 10, 2010

Since my recent re-conversion into Ubuntu, I noticed Network-Manager now has mobile broadband support out of the box. Splendid!

I've been using my Huawei (Vodafone) modem since around two weeks, and so far it's been great, except for a little detail: sometimes, them modem simply won't work. I plug it in, "cd" drive (where the Vodafone Mobile Connect files are) shows up, but no "Vodafone" on Network-Manager.
I believe this has something to do with settings the modem may leave behind after each use, but I'm quite newb, so.

Ubuntu Networking :: Mobile Broadband With BCM4312 Integrated Card

Jul 5, 2010

Here are my Specs:
Netbook: HP Mini 210-1012EZ
Network Card: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01
Ubuntu: 10.04 Netbook Remix
CPU: 32Bit

Wired and Wireless Networks work perfectly the only issue is the Mobile Broadband. When I try to setup my Mobile Broadband connection manualy using the Network Connections Manager the device drop-down is grayed out and it doesn't seem like my network card is being recognized as a Mobile Broadband Card. When I had Windows 7 installed and started ubuntu over a USB Drive the connection worked great. I've followed the steps at [URL] too and it all checked out.

I found another idea in a thread here and I've tried that too:
I added the following line to my /etc/modules:
echo b43 | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
I've also tried using the Broadcom STA drivers that ubuntu offers but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

CentOS 5 Networking :: Setting Up Wireless Broadband For A Sprint Air Card?

Aug 4, 2009

I have a Sprint U760 air card that apparently works under Linux. Sprint has a guide: "Wireless Mobile Broadband Setup Guide for Linux OS" that I am using to setup the air card. When I go through the procedure in the manual for "Setting Up PPP Using KPPP" the last task is to query the modem to see if Linux recognizes it. When I do the query I get a response "unable to open modem". I have tried going back through the PPP setup but still get the same response.

Debian Hardware :: Recommendations For USB Sound Card?

Oct 5, 2010

I just spent an hour surfing the net to find a decent quality linux-compatible USB sound card, coming away more confused than ever. Several candidates sounded promising from reviews, but are not long available. Very high-end products are out of my price range. Linux compatibility seems to be iffy.

My main use is sound encountered on the web. I have pretty good quality klipsch speakers. In short, looking for nice clean sound.

General :: Streaming - Recommendations For A Really Good DVB-T Card?

Feb 4, 2010

I am so fed up with my Sony HDR that is already obsolete. As I am a linux geek, I have been thinking on building my own media central. Reading various hardware support list gives some information about if a card works or not, but not if its good. Also, I would like to buy a card from a vendor that actively supports linux. Can someone recommend a really good DVB-T card?

I would need: DVB-T support.Radio as an option.Two or more channels, three seems like the maximum that I would ever need, but who knows. Doesn't matter if its one or two cards, as long as it works. CAM support. Additional card or built in. I have no idea of how this works actually, but I think the CA module must support mpeg4 too? HDTV/Mpeg4 support (Software is fine, I guess.) I would also need a good remote control (bluetooth) that not neccesarily needs to come with the card, and a decent fanless graphics card that handles hdtv on linux...

Fedora Hardware :: Recommendations For 12 Compatible Sound Card

Mar 24, 2010

I have a Dell PowerEdge 840 that has no sound card. I would like to install a completely compatible sound card. I have not been able to find any recommendations for compatible sound cards on these forums, but I have learned that the C-Media chipset is supposed to be well-supported by Linux. There are C-Media sound cards on e-bay for under $10. I was considering a 6ch c-media 5.1 surround sound 3D PCI sound card. I believe the chipset is CM8738. Does anyone know whether this card is supported in F12? Or does anyone care to share any recommendations for sound cards that are known to be compatible with Fedora 12?

My intention is to be able to install a decent, inexpensive, commodity sound card that is known to be compatible with Fedora 12. I would prefer to purchase and install one that I know works rather than guessing and then fiddling with it forever and asking a lot of questions that could have been avoided.

Surprisingly, this information has been very hard for me to find. I understand that there is no Fedora hardware compatibility list, but it seems that a very brief list of hardware that is know to be compatible with the most recent release or two of Fedora could save a lot of time and resources. The purpose of such a brief list wouldn't necessarily be to see if a certain piece of hardware is compatible, but to find a component that is know to be compatible, so as to easily be able to get a completely functional system up and running.

Hardware :: Broadband (Integrated SIM Card Slot) Not Recognized?

Jun 5, 2011

I've just installed the latest version of Ubuntu (11.04) on my Lenovo S10-3 netbook. Everything works just fine, except the mobile mobile broadband.

The system doesn't seem to recognize the (integrated) SIM card slot. The SIM card slot is already integrated (it's located under the battery). I can add a new broadband connection manually, but it still doesn't work (I can't select it from the available connections). If I open-up the additional drivers manager, it doesn't show me any available drivers.

CentOS 5 Networking :: Looking For USB WiFi Recommendations?

Mar 7, 2009

I'm looking for a rock solid stable USB wireless driver supported in CentOS 5.2 or even 5.3 (when it's released). I'd like specific manufacturer and model recommendations if possible. I want to stay away from zd1211rw and ndiswrapper.

I've tried a zd1211rw based SMC device with miserable results. I backported the USB IDs from 2.6.25 to get it working, as well as tried the RHEL 5.3 backported module. With both, zd1211rw intermittently creates a soft lockup situation where all ptys and ttys freeze. Pings, and other non-{p,t}ty services still work okay, but I have to halt via the power switch then reboot to get things back to normal.

CentOS 5 Networking :: Getting Recommendations For Replace Server NIC In Dell R610?

Dec 23, 2009

We have 6 Dell r610 running CentOS 5.4 with stock kernels, with a couple of Broadcom NetExtreme II 5706c 1GB NICs in them. The NICs are flaking under load, and we'd like to try some alternative NICs (in additional to playing around with driver and firmware upgrades to see if the Netextreme II's can be made stable). Assuming we do not want to do bonding or TOE and just want basic solid transport, can anyone recommend a server NIC that is rock solid with CentOS 5.4? The goal is stable as source-able, we just want to get some baseline functionality up and running while we fight the broadcom issues.

Fedora Networking :: Networking - Connect To The Internet Using BSNL Broadband Connection

Mar 6, 2010

I have installed fedora 12 recently. after installation i tried to connect to the internet using BSNL broadband connection. I filled in the details such as IP, Netmask, Gateway and even DNS servers. In the services also I ensured that the network manager services is on. However even though my computer cannot connect to the internet. I then tried the ping test of the modem from the address 192.168.1.1 and found that the ping test is successful. Then i tried the network administrator and there I noticed something unusual.

There are two options in the devices eth0 and eth1 thats ok but the unusual; thing is that the Activate (green button), Deactivate (red button) and even the delete buttons are in the background and I cannot select them. Isthis the problem for the network connectivity.

[Code]....

Ubuntu Networking :: 8.04 LTS - No Settings For Mobile Broadband

Jan 27, 2010

I have an USB (Huawei 1751) modem for mobile broadband. I had it up and running in Ubuntu 9.10 but I had to clear the computer for various reasons.

After that I wanted to add a new mobile broadband connection in the network connections wizzard - but cannot see any settings for mobile broadband. I am sure it must be possible - but where is this function hidden in version 8.04 ?

Ubuntu Networking :: Unstable Mobile Broadband ?

Mar 6, 2010

I have just switched to Ubuntu from Win 7 RC. So far its been fun, learning to use terminal and all. But I have got a problem now I cannot find a solution to.

I am using 3 Mobile Broadband. The thing just worked - I plugged it in, created a new connection, modified config a little and was happily browsing.

However, it started acting out yesterday. When I boot the system with the modem plugged in, the USB stick is recignised and NetworkManager starts connecting (I have auto connect on). It then shows the "connected" message, and generally appears working fine.

On the other hand, I cannot open a single page in Firefox, it shows the default server not found page.

I used the approach Windows taught me: close, open, retry. I unmount the 3 Mobile Broadband drive, pull the modem out and reconnect it. NetworkManager then does it's job and this time everything works.

I nether had this problem in Win7 or Vista. It looks to me something goes wrong during the booting when the modem is plugged in.

Ubuntu Networking :: 10.04 - Use My Mobile Broadband Once - Then It Stopped

May 3, 2010

I decided to give 10.04 a shot, and upon first boot, I was able to setup and use my Rogers Rocket mobile broadband stick. When I rebooted, I found that it was in the network settings, but I was unable to connect, nor did it show up as an option in the drop-menu. I played with the terminal trying to see if anything was wrong, but everything seems normal, which is to say I don't even know what I'm looking for in regards to this type of connection.

I obviously know now that it works, I just don't know what made it stopped for the time being. I'm thinking of doing a fresh install over the current partition, and trying to work the issue from there.
