[LUG] 3G USB Modem
Yesterday I decided to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my mum's HP Pavillion laptop (woohoo she's gone linux). Unfortunately, she uses a 3G USB Dongle device to connect to the internet. Installed Ubuntu, but I couldn't connect to the internet with her dongle. I found myself a bit stuck because that was the only access to the internet. So I laptop away. Eventually, I have got this sorted by installing USB ModeSwitch which obviously I couldn't install without the internet whilst at my mum's.
The purpose of this thread is to try and establish whether it would have been possible to get the dongle to work without having to connect to the internet to download USB ModeSwitch. If not, then I guess I need to be better prepared next time! haha
