Re: [ubuntu-uk] Installing Orange wireless dongle on Ubuntu 8.10
Hi Mike, have finally got the Dongle working, but its not stable, it crashes now and again. It seems it doesnt like automatically reconnecting, if the connection has been lost. On one crash, something changed, and I'm not sure what it was. I just wondered, can you tell me how I can find out what version I'm using again, if you write it down, I wont forget it. thank you for the help.

Hi Matt, sorry I havent been around, been unwell. Only just well enough to come back online and concentrate. I typed in that command, and it says bash command not found. I'm still trying to get it to work, I just dont want to give up. I know the dongle works as I have it working on my Windows XP laoptop, and it works perfectly on there. I think my problem is, I dont know enough about Ubuntu, to work this out properly. Its really frustrating me. :( John.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Installing Orange wireless dongle on Ubuntu 8.10
John, Looking at the wiki it should just work (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G). You don't need Oranges software, when you plug the dongle in click on the little icon that that normally has your wifi signal strength and things and it should have a "Mobile Provider" or something there. If it doesn't, when you plug it in go into a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type "dmesg > dmesg.txt". This will generate a lot of information in a file called dmesg.txt and then post that back here. From that we may be able to help you some more.

You don't want any of the providers drivers or software. Once it appears to be on, left click once on the network manager icon. There should hopefully be an option in there now under "Mobile Broadband" that says configure. select this. Then choose the provider (Orange in this case). it should set things up for you. left click again on the network manager icon you should see the connection available. select this again, it should hopefully connect you!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Installing Orange wireless dongle on Ubuntu 8.10
Hi, its really odd because on the Ubuntu forums it says that it is easy to install the dongle as Intrepid recognises the software, but it wont, I even tried to install it through Wine, but it wouldnt even do that. It wasnt the dongle either because we tried two of them. It seems to block the software. I'm hoping I can get this to work, as it seems like a good option. Safer than using the wireless in the street or shops. John. Rik Boland wrote: John I am in the same boat will you please let me how and if you ever get your machine with dongle working.

It would install the drivers, it kept on saying it couldnt find them, and it couldnt find the dongle either, even though, when I looked could see the files for the dongle. I even searched on the net, and found a few places that tried to explain how to install, and with the guy in there, we tried, but still we couldnt install the drivers. Has anybody any experience with these dongles, I would really like to get one.
