Howto: Get Vodafone UMTS Stick K3565 running on Ubuntu 9.10
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.
