Also check the modem firmware version as this can have an effect. No idea how to locate it in Linux or be able to flash a new one.

For KDE, i had the same issue, the orange dongle didnt work on karmic. Now the magic: I went to Kenya, plugged in a safaricom modem, and hopsa! I was online. No prob. Come back in Uganda, and suddenly my orange modem also works. Until my upgrade to Lucid. Now i am modemless again. (did stick in a safaricom modem 2 weeks back when i was in nairobi, but some magic doesnt repeat itself). There is also a chance it might have worked due to some editing of wvdial configuration, but i havent investigated that yet, office jockey i am. i do need to go out more often, its just too much fun at Mountbatten! -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 758 801 749 www.mountbatten.net On Wednesday 30 June 2010 17:16:58 Tony Lutaaya wrote: > Please try > > http://www.orange.ug/mobile-plans/iew-linux.php > > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > ______________ Tony Lutaaya|Projects Officer|Business Development & Growth > Team|Toyota Uganda Ltd (TUGA No 1: Industrial Area | P.O.Box 31732 Kampala > Tel: +256 - 312-301 500 |Fax: +256-414-346649 | Cell: +256 - 772-412 598 > Email: [email protected] | Web: http://www.toyotaug.co.ug > > Disclaimer & confidentiality note: > Everything in this e-mail and any attachments relating to the official > business of Toyota Uganda Limited is proprietary to the company.
