Re: Please help me ask a question on the Ubuntu site

2009-06-29 Thread Barry Williams 
These instructions from sierra wireless are for the 306 modem which I
thought was what telstra used but it should work for the 307 sierra
doesn't have a 308 model listed but it may be a slightly modified
version in the same series in which case the same driver should work.

  Hello Abramo!


  I wish I had a solution to your problem but I don't know how to install a
Telstra USB wireless modem on Ubuntu, and I've tested creating a new thread
at


  Can I suggest another popular way of getting support is to use IRC?

  Another is here: http://ubuntuforums.org


  And please don't worry about being verbose. More information is almost

  On a side note I'm very pleased to hear that you are still trying to stick
with Ubuntu even though you have had these problems getting support.


  I wish you the best of luck.

I can't seem to get any further. I must say it is very difficult for a

output of
all the termianl window commands etc. which would make sense to a linux
administrator.

Sorry about the verbose explanation, but I want you to know I have tried
as
best I can to follow the Ubuntu protocol to find an answer. I was a Unix
system administrator (DEc Ultrix) several life-times ago, now I simply
want
to use anything but Microsoft or Apple operating systems. I hope you can

Please help me ask a question on the Ubuntu site

2009-06-28 Thread Abramo Papp 
Hi Melissa,

I've decided to take the plunge into Ubuntu but I have come accross an early
hurdle:

I have a new Asus eeepc notebook and connect to the internet using a Telstra
broadband wirless modem (Sierra Wireless USB 308 modem). It obvously works
with my Windows XP, but it is not recognised by Ubuntu 9.04. I have tried to
manually configure it using the Ubuntu documentation but it still does not
get recognised. I have searched the Sierra Wireless website and have
downloaded drivers and instructions, but the 'make' command ends in errors.
I have read many questions and answers on the https://answers.launchpad.net/
web site and none seem to offer any help. I have tried on two occassions to
ask my own question. I got to the point where I entered a summary line, then
I can't seem to get any further. I must say it is very difficult for a
novice to find the question page and add any detail. I have screen output of
all the termianl window commands etc. which would make sense to a linux
administrator.

Sorry about the verbose explanation, but I want you to know I have tried as
best I can to follow the Ubuntu protocol to find an answer. I was a Unix
system administrator (DEc Ultrix) several life-times ago, now I simply want
to use anything but Microsoft or Apple operating systems. I hope you can
point me in the right direction.
