Ok..

so how do i get this card to work in ubuntu.

Is it easy? becuase i am clueless about linux.

Just want to use in in linux for internet banking, shopping etc, because i am paranoid about viruses, keyloggers etc..in windows

Help please.
Thanks
 
See: https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/projects/vodafonemobilec/

Here's a GUI tool similar to the dashboard software for Windows. After you install it, you just need to change some settings. Mine are:

Username: vodafone
Password: vodafone

APN Host: internet
Use Static DNS: Yes (click the chebkbox)

Primary DNS: 196.207.32.69
Secondary DNS: 196.43.1.11

PS. It might require you to install some extra files from the repos.
 
Thanks man

Hey - from what I can gather the E630 is the same as the E620 :)
 
is it impossible to install this software?
everytime it has some dependency issue.

First python, then python twisted, then pythen core, then python seria, then python whatever..

now it wants python-tz..

wtf..


how many files must i download justto install this...

is there a place that has all the files with all dependencies..

im going back anfd forth from windows to linux...

this is soooo annoying...

how does anyone ever do anything in linux...pls help

plsd
 
Hey Boyrock,

I am pretty sure that they will have a deps list somewhere, but arn't you running ubuntu ? If so, or for any linux distro for that matter, use it's update procedure to install software aswell.

Fedora and Redhat uses yum so to install something, you simply say "yum install package"

I am dual booting XP and Ubuntu....

ok, so managed to get al the dependancies and stuff...problem is that the 3g card now works with the vodafone thing ver 1..

but when i install ver 1.99.17 it does not work..

anyway..its a small issue..i dont need the updated software...it works and thats all thats needed..

Another question...when i intalled ubuntu..i only wanted a small partion for linux...so i said make new partion as 7.5 gigs..

Well...it made my windows partition that size...lol...ok..so how do i go and make the windows partition bigger, and linux smaller?

help would be appreciated.

Thanks
