http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I am from India and I have setup ubuntu and I have this Aircel 3g usb modem.I connected the usb modem and tried the inbuilt Network manager for mobile broadband.Even though the carrier is listed,I tried all the possible connections,but it wasn't getting connected. When i used the same usb modem in Windows ,I noticed a folder called Linux in it.The readme file says Quote: --How to Install---------------------- * You need login as root * 1. Run "tar jxvf linux_install.tar.bz2" 2. Run "./install" in TERMINAL to install MobilePartner (Hardware)

Yet when I go to the Internet, it won't allow me to go anywhere whatsoever.
