I got one yesterday - Huawei 3276. I think it has got activated as the green light on the dongle keeps blinking.
Ubuntu NM showed new GSM broadband connection which I clicked and set up the whole connection. After that the connection showed up in the list but did not connect. File manager showed the volume installed as airtel. Went in, looked up Linux directory, copied it to tmp and ran the install script. Installation went through without asking for overwrite - presume thus the software was not installed earlier. Reboot still did not get the connection up. Volume shows up in file manager. Probably means mode switch has not been done automatically. NM applet drop down list shows "registration denied" in status. My questions: a) Has any one gone through this procedure earlier with this modem? If so, pointers will help. b) Does not the NM install procedure automatically install the drivers? Or do drivers come with 12.10? c) Any thing else one should try apart from usbmodeswitch? -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
