Re: [ubuntu-uk] Mobile Broadband Modem for Eee PC 901
Josh asked about usb broadband modems. I used one very successfully on 8.04 (eee version) on my 702 with no problems. I installed the latest network manager (0.7) on 8.04 and this has the built in broadband modem support so it was just a matter of selecting it and say connect. Usb stick was/is a 169 on 3, but most seem to be compatible. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Generally they just work, I have seen people using the Vodafone ones with them. If it doesn't work Out of the box, Vodafone have produced a GPL'd tool to use them with. I had a 3 Huawei E220, which worked perfectly.

[ubuntu-uk] Mobile Broadband Modem for Eee PC 901
Hi all, I'm getting an Eee PC 901 which should be delivered tomorrow and I plan to install ubuntu-eee on it as soon as it arrives. Have any of you guys managed to get a Mobile Broadband USB modem such as Vodafones's [1] set up on an Eee PC and if so how? Also, are there any important things I need to be aware of when installing ubuntu-eee on a Eee PC 901?
