I heard that Sakis3g works pretty well to get mobile broadband working. It's not included in our repository, but if you download it [1] and put in on a USB drive before installing gNewSense, then you can copy and install it (doubleclick on the deb file) afterwards. Then it's just a matter of running sakis3g from a terminal [2]. I have no experience with this tool myself. I don't know if it works with all modems and operators. > > aqbout codecs, video in particular, do you suggest anything in > > particular as a complete format software package for avi, mp3/4, > > xvid etc? What do you want to do: play, convert from one format to another, edit, ...? VLC is great for the first 2, although some formats are not completely supported because of (software) patent issues.
