Ubuntu live session with G3 modem
I booted a bog standard 15.5 inch Windows laptop from the Ubuntu 8.10 live session cd, then put my Web’n’Walk modem into a usb socket. The notification icon popped up, I clicked on the ‘configure’ option, and chose my country (from a long list). The lower part of the configuration window gave me a choice of networks, so I selected t-mobile. A new connection icon appeared in the upper panel, and I selected the web’n’walk modem. It dialled up and here we are.
My lower vertebrae are going to love this: I can use a cheap and light Web book style computer with the modem when moving around…
I’m still trying to work out how to switch between WiFi and the G3 modem…
