Hello,

I have used the very useful and clear tutorial in

http://www.blogeee.net/2008/03/14/tutorial-une-cle-3g-sur-votre-ultraportable-pour-30e/

and the notebook runs with Xandros.

However, when attempting to initialize connection it reads:
Initializing
Trying orange...
Failed to initialize connection
ATZ
OK
AT+COPS=0
OK
AT+COPS=?
+CME ERRORFailed (ERROR)

I am using a swiss icon 225 from Orange and it works with my Windows XP Laptop
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I have now got the correct driver. It is actually distributed by orange, but nowbody seems to know there... Still very useful but too big to put here

I get exactly the same error message as Didi got. Didi managed to solve the problem, but did not specify how the problem was solved.

Didi,

Could you please give some information on how to get the driver? Can it be downloaded? If so, from where?

Many thanks in advance

I have found a solution and can now connect to the Internet without problems.

When you start editing the file conninfo.ini, it looks like this:

# this file contains the connection information for your subscription
APN=orange.ie
# USER=
# PASS=
#PIN=

When you fill in your PIN-code, you must delete the sign # in front of PIN=. I made the mistake of leaving # and that was the cause of my connection problem.

I just filled in APN and PIN and left USER and PASS as they were, with # in front of them (and no # in front of APN and PIN) and now my EEEPC connects to the Internet without any problems.

Many, many thanks to theGressier for the excellent tutorial at
http://www.blogeee.net/2008/03/14/tutorial-une-cle-3g-sur-votre-ultraportable-pour-30e/

From the picture in the tutorial, it is clear that the # should be deleted, but it does not say so specifically. If one is new to Linux, as I am, it is very easy to overlook this.

Apparently the files included in the tutorial work not only with Orange but also with other companies. I live in Sweden and use Glocalnet, which uses the same modem as Orange. The only difference to Orange is that my APN is bredband.glocalnet.se

PS. I think I posted this in the wrong forum. I hope this will be included in the correct forum.

I've packaged the rezero utility for Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10). You can find it on https://edge.launchpad.net/~martijn/+archive

I added to my hso.udev file the following line to get my card running.

SYSFS{idVendor}=="0af0", SYSFS[idProduct}=="7011", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'uname -r'", RUN+="/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/%c/kernel/drivers/net/wwan/hso.ko debug=0xff"
