Model: MF636 You need to turn off the device's functionality as a thumb drive and not as a modem. From here (and other places): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1005910 *You can try the following steps: 1. on WinVista through control panel ADD the extra init command *AT+ZCDRUN=8* 2. try to connect once with the providers s/w (WinVista) 3. remove the above command through control panel (WinVista) * Sending this command to the device is essential to un-paperweight it: **AT+ZCDRUN=8* * Then you have to make sure that usb_serial is loaded for the device. http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ Then just plug it in (to Ubuntu) and it gets found and enter your pin and you're off. We use these for all our staff's laptops running ubuntu. Big Note: DO THIS **AT+ZCDRUN=8 first (and only once). Sounds a pain but it should only be done once.
