Re: Please help me ask a question on the Ubuntu site
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. http://sierrawireless.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/641 Barry On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 8:47 AM, Abramo Pappa.p...@uqconnect.net wrote: Hi Dave, I will try these links.
