Folks: The three hard-wired Ethernet dongles I put up on the wiki page this morning as tested and working seem to have dropped off the page. Perhaps they were placed in the wrong spot?
I also cant seem to add any more results either, did I offend someone? However, what I can tell you is that my Sierra Wireless 881 3G Broadband Datastick (USB ID 1199:6856) connected fine on the gnome side of the XO 1.5 to Rogers in Canada. I had to manually add the connection to get the APN right, but that was pretty painless. I must say though that the Device ID climbing up to Bus 002, Device 022 before I got it working was a little surprising. On full reboot it went back to Bus 002, Device 003. But, when the little power indicator at the bottom right went off, which it did after about 10 seconds, the network disconnected and then didn't come back when i played on the trackpad. I needed to manually restart the connection. I was in the middle of downloading a page when this happened, so I'm not really sure why it thinks I'm idle, it just seems to put itself to sleep a little. The screen stayed on. So then, I couldn't find any control on the Gnome side to turn off auto power management, so I went over to Sugar and turned if off there from the settings page. Should the mobile broadband connection stay active if I do a switch to Sugar? Because it doesn[t seem to, it seems to instead start using my previoua wireless connection from my previous Sugar session by default. Which then made me think, I actually have no idea how to try to nitiate a Broadband modem connection from the Sugar side! Oops. That said, I then restarted the gnome desktop, with auto-power turned off, started the broadband connection, started firefox, then did absolutely nothing for 4 minutes. I then went to load a new web page and the connection was still active and the new page loaded. So I think that's pretty good, no? Just let me know if I'm more trouble than help :-) Cheers KG On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 10:29 AM, Martin Langhoff <martin.langh...@gmail.com > wrote: > On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 9:52 AM, Kevin Gordon <kgordon...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Unfortunately, for now, Work interferes again :-) > > When you're free again, your feedback will be welcome at > http://wiki.laptop.org/go/10.1.3/Testing#USB2VGA_Adapter_usage > > And there are several other procedures on that page that would welcome > extra hands and eyes testing. > > cheers, > > > m > -- > martin.langh...@gmail.com > mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect > - ask interesting questions > - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first > - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff >
