We did it! I'm mobile with Vodafone on 8.10 - Champion stuff! :-) Anyway, no luck with 9.04, but when I went back to 8.10, and just minutes before heading off to Three Shop, thought I'd have one more crack at it. So, in summary, I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my work lappy (the main one I need mobile) and then done the following: Opened a terminal window sudo dpkg -i usb-modeswitch_1.0.2-1_i386.deb vodafone-mobile-connect_2.10.01-1_all.deb vodafone-mobile-connect_svn20090502_all.deb and then sudo apt-get -f install exit Opened Network Manager and filled in the appropriated blanks and BINGO! Thanks for the help and perseverance on this.

Re: Pt2 - Mobile Broadband for 9.04
Many thanks, Dave. Unfortunately, mate, no cigar. I carried out everything as per your instructions and nothing further has evolved from attempting to get connected on 9.04. However, for what it was worth, I had a spare lappy that I usually trial stuff on (been trying out Kubuntu 9.04 - how cool is KDE? ). So I thought, what the hec and ran-up Ubuntu 8.10 to see if that did anything. Following your instructions again, this time it did go a step further after adding Vodafone in Network Manager by alerting me with the following message from "My Disc": "This medium contains software intended to be automatically started. Would you like to run it? . . . etc" Then does nothing more and drops the My Disc icon on the Desktop. When opened it gave me 3 obviously expected files to look at (all of which will do very little in my situation): autorun.inf, helper.exe, and the Vodafone Connect app' - setup_vms_lite.exe. All in all, I think I must pick USB modems like I pick horses - they end up costing me money. :-) So, I really don't think we can go any further on this one. Many thanks and 10/10, from the list, for all the assistance on this (and the beer shop url, Dave). A beer and Ubuntu night? I like that idea. :-) Cheers Guys, and have a great day. Righto, . . . .I'm off to the Three Shop! Regards, Rob PS: Just so you know, I also tried running it under WINE on Ubuntu 9.04 (no, didn't think it'd work to start with but gave it a go anyway) and on Kubuntu 9.04 before I toasted it and ran it back to 8.10.

Re: Pt2 - Mobile Broadband for 9.04
Thanks heaps, Barry. I'll keep playing around with it, from the additional info' you've provided, and post the outcome(s) shortly. Not sure if NM is going to do anything though because the device (usb modem) wouldn't detect at all when I first tried connection, but we'll see how I go. Once again, many thanks for the assist.

The K3520 is a vodafone branded version of the Huawei E169G. I have 2 e169g running - neither currently with ubuntu. I have used this device in the past with my ubuntu laptop. Try the following: * Ditch wvdial - i have never liked it * Download the karmic version of usb-modeswitch from http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/usb-modeswitch * Use gdebi when it pops up to install the deb * open a terminal * run "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart" no quotes * run "exit" no quotes * Unplug your stick and plug it in again * Network manager's HSDPA wizard should popup - i think Good luck Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

Re: Pt2 - Mobile Broadband for 9.04
Hi Guys, The Mobile Broadband for 9.04 using Vodafone saga continues . . . and I'm not too sure if I'm beating a dead horse or not here. So, anyway, I ended up buying the modem, and after reading a fair bit on various forums and Google searching etc I'm up to the stage of trying to connect. The modem itself is a Huawei K3520 (from Vodafone) and from what I've read it can work with a bit of perseverance using 'wvdial' (from a terminal window). I think my main prob' now is trying to determine the right config' for Australian settings in the wvdial.conf file. At present it looks like this: [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Baud = 460800 New PPPD = yes Modem = /dev/ttyUSB1 ISDN = 0 Phone = *+61451358399# Password = username Username = password Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","vf.internet.au" But, when I try to connect, I'm getting this: o...@rob2:~$ wvdial hsdpa --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Warning: section [Dialer hsdpa] does not exist in wvdial.conf. --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","vf.internet.au" AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","vf.internet.au" OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT*+61451358399# --> Waiting for carrier.
