I then ran dmesg | tail to get the last kernel reports: dmesg|tail I ran lsusb after removing and re-inserting the usb dongle, which shows that the device is found: lsusbīus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 003 Device 002: ID 0a5c:219c Broadcom Corp.īus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 001 Device 008: ID 12d1:14d1 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.īus 001 Device 005: ID 0ac8:c33f Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.īus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub A green light flashes and occasionally a blue one as well. When it is removed and re-inserted it shows up in places only. When I boot the computer with the dongle it is shown on the desktop and places. I tried a method of going to gconf-editor to uncheck the automount and autorun and see if the usb switching will work there after (I did a reboot), but this did not help. So I believe that a further complication with this relatively new device is that it gets loaded as a CD. In Windows, the software installed automatically from the usb device. This usb dongle did not come with a CD for installation on Windows. When the computer is booted with the usb dongle it shows on the desktop as a mounted device, and when unmounted and re-inserted it does not appear on the desktop again, but does appear in Places as VMB_10.2.102.30707_RP171. I tried to create the mobile broadband connection by right clicking the connection manager and setting it up from there but the connection is never registered or displayed. I tried to use Sakis3G from sakis3Glink, using both the free and full versions, and all I get is a message that it failed to connect. The program loads but displays that no device is detected. I installed betavine from betavineUbuntuLink. I have bought a vodafone pay-as-you-go mobile broadband dongle. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Samsung n150 netbook.
