[SLUG] eeePC and Vodafone Mobile modem

2009-01-22 Thread Kyle

Hi Sluggers,

I know it is supposed to just work, but my eeePC just will NOT pick up 
my Vodafone mobile modem. So, I need to find the manual commands I need 
to instigate in order to get the pc to recognise the modem. Can you help 
pls?


Best I can determine, the modem is;

Modem:  HUAWEI * K3715
Firmware:   11.104.05.00.00

The eeePC is just the original 7 in. model with updates.

What manual cmds will get the netbook to recognise the modem pls? Or put 
differently, how do I go about this?

Kind Regards

I followed the instructions at 
 http://www.greenhughes.com/content/using-huawei-e169g-usb-mobile-internet-modem-eee
  
and got one to work. It took a few hours though - fixing bugs in the 
instructions 
(tar j, not tar z), the downloaded executable crashing and needing rebuild from 
source
(which needed the C devel env installed), etc.

Good luck!
