It does?

I'll have to check that out! Thanks for the heads up!

(I moved from Orange UK to O2 because of this bug.)

Can any expert write an how-to document to explain how to setup and run an
internet key on the Freerunner?

Better if the how-to is on the official wiki.

 Works fine. http://iki.fi/lindi/debian/pool/main/u/usb-modeswitch has
 an unofficial debian source and binary package.

Internet Key on Neo Freerunner?

2008-11-28 Thread Giovanni
In these days many telecom operators are offering USB internet dongles,
which can connect to a computer by USB port and allow the computer to access
the internet in any place through wireless communications (UMTS, GPRS,
etc.).

In Italy, all the telecom operators (Vodafone, Tim, 3, etc.) are offering
these internet keys.

Is it possible to connect this internet keys to the Neo Freerunner and so
navigate on internet in any place?

What driver/module do we need? Are they available?

If it is possible, we can have the Neo always connected to internet, even
where there is no WiFi, which is the most of places.

gprs does the fr by itself, umts requires i 3g sim and those are know to  
be ... uhm ... problematic with the fr, though i don't remember if the  
recent firmware upgrade for the modem does fix it.

 What driver/module do we need? Are they available?

you need the same as for your desktop -- check the relevant sources if  
there are any available.
