Machine: <NEC Powermate> Installer failed to detect mobile broadband device on USB. I suggest that the kernel module called 'option' should have been installed, but it was not. Huawei Mobile Broadband device (bought from 3) was plugged into a USB socket during boot. An Epson Stylus SX435W was plugged into another USB socket. These two were the only devices in USB sockets during boot-install. I chose Alternate Desktop -> -> KDE Otherwise the software installed itself, but gave error messages about the mirror which I chose. The error message should have told me that the computer was not connected to the Internet. After boot-install I gave the command : echo 'option' >> /etc/modules then rebooted the computer on IDE-0. This seemed to cause it to detect the Huawei correctly I hope that this is useful. Some people in the UK do not have landlines, let alone broadband on landline. Thank you all very much indeed for producing Debian Wheezy. Best regards Richard Betham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
