Huawei E1750 and Ubuntu 9.04

[Thugscub]

Hello

How do get this modem to load and run properly the system does not always pick it up?
I have to reboot a few times then it gets recognised and then it works. Tried to unmount the modem cos it recognises it as an usb storage device. How do i get the system to save and remember the setting when it does work?
Thanks

Is your system up to date?

You may need to read up on (and install and configure) usb-modeswitch.

Can you upgrade to a later ubuntu? It was built in and preconfigured (for many modems, not sure about the 1750) from at least 10.10 and later.

Latest Linux Format has Mint 12 on the DVD which is pretty cool http://www.linuxformat.com/archives

Just be aware that vanilla Ubuntu, from v 11.04 onwards, brings the "Unity" interface which may take some getting used to. Mint is a good option, though
