3. Second method - alternatively i tried to install manufacturer deb package (download from my dropbox (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39846097/deb%20file.zip))Do you realize this link is clickable and could be clicked by anyone? Not a good idea.

Sorry, I've never used these. Did you read the instructions on that page, they seem pretty thorough.


Plug & Play: Simply plug the USB modem into your computer and access Internet with broadband speeds on the move.Guess this didn't work, huh? Linux driver needed?

Did you turn the computer off, plug the usb in and then turn the computer back on with usb in place?

NO, I didnot

where can i get drivers??
is there any trouble shoot expert?

What i dont understand is that why on clicking 'internet' connection tab in applicaiton user interface the whole application dissappear.
in windows 7 and XP same device works extreamly good ???

i want to get into ubuntu because of IP attacks..

NO, I didnot

..

I suggest you try that. Turn it off, Leave the usb in and turn the comp on. Many times it will automatically find it and it will work.

The same happens with little things like a new usb mouse--plug it in and then turn on the computer.
