Kubuntu 10.04 mobile broadband problem

[omegadestroy]

Hi

I'm completely new to the Linux world and badly needs help. I installed Kubuntu 10.04 two days ago and it has been a disaster because it has inconsistencies detecting the e1550 sun broadband. There are instances that it's working but after a reboot/hibernate it goes to a haywire. I need to delete and re-setup the mobile broadband connection settings once Kubuntu detects it after multiple reboots. Another thing I noticed is it's not being recognized as a USB modem to automatically connect as configured hence just a storage device when it's acting up. I'm also using Ubuntu 10.04 on the same netbook but I never got a problem using the same broadband connection. Is there a similar operation like:

gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/15-huawei-e1550.rules

On the GEdit window that opens, Type and Save:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",
SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446",
SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1",
RUN+="/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch --vendor 0x12d1 --product 0x1446 --type option-zerocd"

..to ensure that's Kubuntu's going to recognize e1550 and connect to the internet flawlessly?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

hi! do this

start Adept from the menu system select K Menu->System->Adept (Package Manager).

or


start Adept from the command line:kdesu adept




then from there type usb-modeswitch/usbmodeswitch (can't remember the right one) and see if its in you repositories. If it's there just install it if it's not download it from http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ and follow the intructions given there



hope this helps! :)

hello omegadestroy

we have the same huawei modem and usb-modeswitch should do the trick...

sudo aptitude install usb-modeswitch

... to make sure its detected, doing "lsusb" on terminal helps. Also, updating the the new KDE helps too.
