Mobile Broadband with ubuntu ?

[Nisal]

I have an EVDO usb dongle, it works fine since 9.10 although in 11.04 I have to plug it out and plug it back in after login otherwise Network-Manager can't detect it.

I hope that this small regression will get fixed in 11.10.

i have same problem. anyway is there any optional software like mobile manager to use instead of default "Network Manager" ?

I have tried a few EDGE and 3G modem in my country. Only I find mobidata not to work with Linux. But other all works well then windows.

I can tether my phone just fine. But my carrier seems to think I should pay more for that capability so I don't do it.

You need to get away from North America then

wicd is good. Sometimes even better than Network Manager.
Wicd is in the repositories.
Note. Installing wicd will uninstall network manager. And if you want to move back to NM, just installing Network manager will uninstall wicd

Just google: wicd ubuntu

I'm using VirginMobile and haven't had any trouble. I live in an area where I don't get much signal in my house (mobile home) but I use an external antenna and get a really strong signal.

I dual boot with Win Vista and activated the VirginMobile modem there so don't know about activating in Ubuntu.
