Discover Ubuntu

I have just moved from using my cellphone as a modem to using the new Huawei G Connect Card from Vodafone/Vodacom. Fortunately, compared to setting up you phone as a modem, this process is farely easy. There’s a Vodafone endorsed site called http://forge.vodafonebetavine.net – they have put together some handy connection software that works straight away.

Now I don’t know how to install tarballz and all that so I went through there older versions to find a “.deb” file. I installed that and it worked straight away. Just have your SIM password handy and it’ll do the rest for you.

It is very encouraging to see that possibly the biggest cellular provider in the world is supporting linux users.

Enjoy!
