Public bug reported: This is happening in Ubuntu Intrepid. The Pantech PX500 EVDO wireless modem is recognized immediately and the connection is established automatically. The only problem is that the connection is very very slow, in the range of the 15 KB/s in average. In the same spot but using Windows XP the speed is about 1.5 MB/s. There is indeed a bottleneck at some point in the serial connection.
I tried to fix it changing the configuration of the connection following the manual provided by Sprint. http://www.sprint.com/assets/downloads/linux/pdfs/Sprint_Mobile_broadband_Setup_Guide_for_Linux.pdf With the card removed, I restarted the computer and gave the command: sudo modprobe -r usbserial Followed by the command: sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x106c product=0x3702 The first command removed the default driver, the second is to load the specific driver for the Pantech PX500, the problem is that the card is not working at all after this process. Restarting again the laptop, the card is automatically detected and works again but very very slow as indicated above. The rest of the hardware in the laptop woks great, the only problem is the wireless connection. This is annoying. ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Very slow connection in Pantech PX500 EVDO modem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354287 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
