You assume a Huawei E220, but maybe you know that it is. GRRRR I have a router that Hadley kindly supplied post quake that can take a white 2 degrees usb modem to supply internet for the whole office when your normal wan is down. Very useful it was when the phones and adsl were unavailable. Last weekend we moved back into the city and knowing we would be without adsl for a couple of days while telstra shifted us, I looked for the white 2 degrees stick. Couldn't find the bloody thing so went out and bought one of the black ones, which is twice the speed. Bugger, it didn't work in that router, so had to find a white one, which 2 branches of whorehouse stationery didn't have, ended up at the two degrees store in riccarton mall to get the white one. So the lesson is, these things are not all equal, particularly if you have something like a router you can't do anything to change. By the way the 2 degrees white one is a Huawei E1552. > > > -- > Sincerely, > Christopher Sawtell > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users > _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
