Toshiba built-in 3g Modem (F3507g)

[Weazel]

Hey guys,

I've been going crazy for 2 years now trying with various types of ubuntu to be able to connect with my 3g modem on my Toshiba Tecra, I have a F3507g Ericcsson broadband modem.

The Network-Manager always seemed to find it, but whenever I configured an APN with the correct settings, It'll always return with GSM Network Disconnected message.

Apparently the 3g modem Radio is by default set to OFF.


What I did is write in terminal:

sudo toshset -3g on

and vuwala It worked like a charm!!!!

I bet this works around all toshiba laptops, though didnt really tested it!

Hope this helped!
Good Luck,

Weazel.
