Hello, I installed Ubuntu 6.10 today and, following the excellent instructions at http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/index.html , successfully managed to make my SpeedTouch 330 connect to the Internet. So far, so good!
However, the connection only works if I boot into Linux with the modem already plugged in. If I plug the modem USB connector in when already booted (as is possible in Windows), the lights on the modem come on as normal but no Internet connection results (at least, web pages don't load, emails don't download, etc.). Just in case you are thinking, "well why doesn't he just leave it plugged in", I am using a laptop, which I move around the house with and therefore don't always want to be connected, and also have to share the connection with my girlfriend. My question is, then: Is there a way, e.g. some command I enter in the terminal, to get a connection once the modem is plugged in and ready, or will it always require a reboot? As an aside, is there also a command which will allow me to see how many bytes have been sent and received since connection? One thing which crossed my mind is that the modem setup instructions are for Ubuntu 6.06. Is there a different procedure I should have followed for the latest version which would not result in this problem? As you may have guessed, I am fairly new to Linux, so step-by-step answers would be greatly appreciated.
