3g

Since I have switched my 3G data network from Hutchinson Three to Vodafone AU recently I also upgraded the USB modem from a Huwaei E220 (which used to work fine on recent Ubuntu NBR releases on my trusty old ASUS EEE 900) Unfortunately the new Huawei K3765 would not be recognised as a valid modem by the network manager. After a fair bit of searching it turns out that you only need to install one additional package (usb-modeswitch) to make this modem work (be recognised) on the current stable 10.04 release: sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch For the command-line challenged here is a quick screenshot on how to do it using Synaptic Package Manager: Hope this might save some time for people trying to make this modem work on Lucid. Happy roaming !
