http://forums.opensuse.org – Hi, I live in the uk and I am trying to buy one of those usb stick modems from some of the major companies (vodafone, orange, tmobile). I went to carphone warehouse and the seller said that no matter which modem I choose it is not going to work with linux. he suggested I should migrate back to windows which I dont want to do at all. but if I cant get the internet to work I will have to do it. please please do you have any suggestions? are you aware of existence of some drivers that might solve the problems? the seller said that its not going to work because linux is opensource. thank you so much for help really (Distributions)

Huawei E1691 3G Modem Problems 1 year 47 weeks ago

Hi there Crunchbangers!I've been using the distro for a few months now, and I love it! It's never given me any problems that I wasn't able to fix with the help of these forums, until now. I recently bought a Huawei E1691 3G dongle from the carrier WIND here in Canada.

Okay, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04.

I bought a USB Extarnal Modem. Whice is controller based, I think thats a hard ware modem correct me if i'm wrong.

Right now I'm on windows and it shows the manufacturer is "Conexant" The thing is...how would I be able to use this in ubuntu. As I know winmodems does not work with linux.

Well,I just got one of these Huawei usb dongles too (not sure about the model number) and only way i've managed to get it to work is:open dolphin -> automounts HiLink folder -> kdesu sh install_linux -> works.All the management is done in webbrowser so its kind of nice web dongle / 3-4G modem.You might want to google for the linux support for your modem as not all the 3G modems work

Hi Guys I've been using Ubuntu 11.10 on my Work PC, Part of my job occasionally requires me to dial into other machines.

Anyhow, Its part of my day to day tasks and I need that dial up connection.

In days of Old on Ubuntu 7.10 and prior all my modems were auto detected a

I've laptop with three USB3.0-ports.OS is Linux Mint 13 (yeah, it's Ubuntu-based). My modem Huawei E1552/E1800 could work in two modes:

1) as flash with drivers

2) modem

The device is operating as modem and seen in Network Manager if only it's attached before OS loading. If after, it's detected as flash.

Question about re-seller 28 weeks 3 hours ago

I've created a re-seller account with the ability so that he can create packages with unlimited resources.

I've given 10 GB bandwidth limit to the re-seller; if one of the accounts under re-seller uses up all the bandwidth then will the other accounts under his re-seller will go offline?

A company named Clear provides 4G internet services and sells devices for it, such as the Clear Stick Atlas. That device is supposedly to work on Linux, Android™ and Chrome OS.

My Netgear A6200 USB Modem does not work with Ubuntu 12.10 running on either a i7(2.4 Mhz w/8GB RAM, two 500GB HDs & eight USB 2.0 ports) desktop or a HP/Compaq Mini 110c Netbook (running 12.04). The A6200 modem is simply not recognized. Several older Netgear modems work with Ubuntu 12-10 fine. I tried A6200 on Wine and on a virtual Windows disk, but that was no help.
