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.
