Sorry..... Ok, first I had to change a few things for the modem to be recognized as a modem (th first time it is plugged it is detected a s a storage device).
Since It was quite some times ago, I'll sum up with a few infos I got with a few web searches. The most complete informations a got came from here : http://blog.mknux.org/index.php?post%2F2008%2F07%2F25%2FConnexion-3G%2F3G-sous-Linux-via-Globe-Trotter-Icon-II To sum up : 1- you need to install usbmodeswitch 2- you need to create some new udev rules : create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules and insert in the file : BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1000", SYSFS{idVendor}=="05c6", RUN+="/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch" BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6901", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0af0", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0af0 product=0x6901" Now you should have it recognized as a usb modem. In fact if you check dmesg after inserting the modem you should have 3 modems (ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2). After that, I'm not so sure because I first configured it to work with NM 0.6.5 and had to make some changes in System->Administration->Network : modem setting in ubuntu to configure my ppp to use ttyUSB0. The first times I tried it with NM 0.7 it wasn't working and it even crashed NM. Then I changed again the settings in System->Administration->Network : modem to use another device (any other one should be ok). And then, the next time i plugged my modem, It was really recognized by NM as a broadband modem and even had an 'automatic GSM network connection' selection in the NM menu. I just had to click on it, insert the password for my provider (orange)...and It worked perfectly !!! I hope this will help (maybe I should create an howto in th doc or something).. -- Neither Nokia N95, nor Option Globetrotter HSDPA Modem work under NM 0.7 (Intrepid) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
