Ok this still isn't working..

eeePC - xubuntu - 2.6.22-14-generic kernel - icon225 with Orange

I have compiled hso v1.0 and copied into the /extra/dir. I have taken 49_hso-udev.rules.txt moved it to /etc/udev/rules.d/49_hso-udev.rules

When I use connect.sh from http://asuseee.free.fr/tuto/01/icon225.tar.gz I get the following failure:

sudo ./connect.sh up
Initializing...
Trying orange ...

Thanks Paul

I now have this working, and it was simply down to my settings for Orange's GPRS. I'll document this all soon

I'm quite newbie with linux and ubuntu and I just can't understand fully hese instructions, how to get Option iCON 225 installed and working on Ubuntu 8.04. And I can't French, sorry.
Advices just in style "You also need to install the HSO driver of course" confuces me - so what I really need to do for that?

I have loaded hso-udev rezero package (hso-udev.tar.gz) and it seemed to compile with make and I managed to install it - or at least I think so Smile

How should it be installed in conjunction with HSO 1.1? (hso-1.1.tar.gz)
and how these should be used? (please could you tell clear enought - and all that has to be done Very Happy

I have read this guide (I think I mainly understood it thus I can't French ; )
http://www.blogeee.net/2008/03/14/tutorial-une-cle-3g-sur-votre-ultraportable-pour-30e/
but as is is for Xandros-linux, it doesn't fit with Ubuntu, at least those scripts doesn't fit - or am I wrond? at least I couldn't run them, with sudo/gksudo on Ubuntu.
Could someone make Ubuntu-version out of this
http://asuseee.free.fr/tuto/01/icon225.tar.gz
and if necessary, for different versions of Ubuntu, what should be changed in those sh-scripts if necessary.

So could you please tell full instructions what I need to do to install it on Ubuntu 8.04 - I'd be wery gratefull.

Does Vodafones utility work with these then?
https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/frs/?group_id=12&release_id=19
Can that graphical utility be used, does it need hso and rezero first to be installed? I tried to install it solely but it didn't "see" Option iCON 225 while it was plugged in.

So I'm just getting started with linux/Ubuntu and I'm a little terrified: do I really need to search and read so much instructions and discussions and then even figure out more by myself to get something installed and workind on linux/Ubuntu. When people say that they have managed to install and use something, why can't they explain what they have done for that ; ) This takes lots of time and frustrates.
This linux-world seems so confusing compared to install instructions and guides that I have used in Windows world.
I thought that this open source world is open otherwise too, so tell the full truth what should be done and howto ; )

I would be interested to know what you changed to get the Option working with Orange, if you could kindly post your how to or document it I would be grateful.

Thank you in advance -Bukunut

this is for an eeepc isn't it - it just seems not to work or the files just don't exist in "regular" pc/laptop with Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04rc

- any adwise?

I think you're right rhino, I've tried to get icon225 going with my Dell and I can't.

The settings I used with the vodafone software are at http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html

Sorry, I misunderstood you when you said it was working now, and that was for eeepc not your ordinary laptop.

Regards - Bukunut
PS - Rhino.. There will be a way to get it to work I am sure Rolling Eyes

Hi there ,

I am trying to get the icon225 stick from german Telecom working with ubuntu 7.10.

However I am having difficulties allready with the installation of the hso-udev.tar.gz
I put it into a directory rezero
after unpackig I get

malubuntu@malubuntu-lapo:~/rezero$ ls
hso.udev Makefile rezero rezero.c
hso-udev.tar.gz README rezero.8 rezero.o

When I type make, I get

malubuntu@malubuntu-lapo:~/rezero$ sudo make
make: Für das Ziel »all« ist nichts zu tun.

This means : there ist nothing to do for the target "all"

what did I do wrong?

Like others I would greatly appreciate a step-by-step how-to
for ubuntu

Thanx

Libertino

the rezero binary within your package is probably ready to run without recompiling

Take a look at guide that VMZ has written (message #6)

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=736977

note that download link of HSO in that guide is of previous 1.1 version, so download instead latest 1.2 version from this site, so :

http://www.pharscape.org/index2.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=68&page=download&id=31

And with Ubuntu 7.10 you propably don't need to compile rezero, but with Ubuntu 8.04 propably you do need to.

And remember to verify that you have (or install) firewall and turn it on.
Ubuntu doesn't install/turn on firewall as default - it really should ( =

as far as I understood the tutorial was for eeepc?

does it work with a standard laptop , too?
Do I really have to use these commands literally?

mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.21.4-eeepc
mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.21.4-eeepc/extra

And do I have to adjust the kernel-version to my kernel?

Did you disable the PIN-request?

Is it working on ubuntu, or on kubuntu only?
Do you need vodafone software?

Enter your PIN and APN name.

To connect use:
sudo ./connect.sh up

There might be a problem with the madwifi driver for the Atheros5007eg wlan card. I will report , if it persists.

Otherwise great job from Exquinoxe. It was exactly what we needed.
