I have installed Ubunto 10.10 Maverick. It's quite easy to run with my Huawei modem from Safaricom, but not the ZTE from Orange. Did someone already post a howto on this forum for using ZTE? I am guilty of not having done any searches before hand. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Yeah, I think this do exist, Try searching the archives

Hi Wash, When I tried the ZTE on Ubuntu 10.10 it was picked by the network manager and when I added the connection Orange was listed as the provider. On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 11:39 AM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

I kind find it and somehow manage to connect - not as easy as it is with the Huawei - but I am in town, somewhere near Bruce Hse and the latencies I get! I am back to my Huawei, although I'd have loved to use the cheaper option, not the better options:-)
