I wrote this article already for Ubuntu 9.10. So here’s the Update forVodafone K3565 (Huawei K3565) on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).

• First, plug the USB-Device in. Then start your Laptop/Netbook and boot up your own Ubuntu.
• Your device will be automatically discovered
• Your device should not be mounted, because automount is disabled for usb modem devices by default, otherwise unmount the device to switch from datastore to UMTS/GSD mode

umount /dev/$usbdevice /media/$mountpoint

• Turn to the Ubuntu network manager which is the generally used program in the most distributions.

System -> Preferences -> Network Connection -> Mobile Boradband -> Add

• Then select your device which should be showed at the bottom of the wizard.
• Select your mobile service provider
• Select your pay method: Use “defaul” if you have a flatrate or volume contingent and “WebSessions” when you are using the Vodafone WebSessions
• Use Audomatic PPP for PPP Connection and select “Connect automatically”
• You will be asked to grant the device access.
• There’s another new option in the gnome network manager app – you can select “Enable Mobile Broadband”.

Hope this works for you.

Yesterday I considered to get my UMTS running on Asus Eee-PC 1005HA-H. I googled a little bit and now I want to announce you what I have done to dial in with the Vodafone K3565 (Huawei K3565).

This tutorial is quite simple and will help you get your UMTS running on Ubuntu. I don’t think you will need degress from online universities to master it. Just follow each of the following steps and you should be fine.

• First, plug the USB-Device in. Then start your Laptop/Netbook and boot up your own Ubuntu.
• Your device will be automatically discovered
• unmount the device to switch from datastore to UMTS/GSD mode

umount /dev/$usbdevice /media/$mountpoint

• Turn to the Ubuntu network manager which is the generally used program in the most distributions.

System -> Preferences -> Network Connection -> Mobile Boradband -> Add

• Then select your device which should be showed at the bottom of the wizard.
• Select your mobile service provider
• Select your pay method: Use “defaul” if you have a flatrate or volume contingent and “WebSessions” when you are using the Vodafone WebSessions
• Use Audomatic PPP for PPP Connection and select “Connect automatically”
• You will be asked to grant the device access.

Hope that helps you for accessing Vodafone UMTS via Ubuntu 9.10.
