Acer aspire One and Safcom Modem
Hey guys I have tried installing the safaricom modem e160 on a acer aspire on a linux machine. I installed the drivers and it worked the first time but apparently after that the connection seemed to disappear. Is there anyone who has encountered something similar. Or is there someone who succeeded in making them work them work together
FIrst what distro are you using? If its gnome the NetworkManager 0.7.0.100 works great upgrade to that. If all that fails download Vodafone Mobile Connect from https://forge.betavine.net or google for it. Install usb_modeswitch first for it to work. If that doesnt work try umtsmon, it works out of the box with a wide range of usb dongles and pci cards. Hope that helps. On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 5:42 PM, charles mtawali <cmtawali@yahoo.co.uk>wrote:

Change the OS to the Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix... Works like a charm... Crystal On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 8:01 PM, Job Njogu <jnjogu@gmail.com> wrote:

get the huawei.sh script and you will get a gui just like the one that comes with the modems. You can even send sms and monitor your connections On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 8:51 AM, Crystal Watley Kigoni < crystal@voicesofafrica.org> wrote:
