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'm having some trouble with this on my eee900. Followed the french guide although I didnt understand a word. Gotten all the way to the connecting bit. all files have installed fine. during connection it stand on the trying and end up with no ip error. conninfo is correct. I find myself running out of solutions, wondering if anyone else have a suggestion? heres how it look:

Trying Telenor ...
Connecting...
trying
trying-
trying--
trying---
trying----
trying-----
trying------
trying-------
Connected
We did not get an IP address from the provider, bailing ...
./connect.sh: line 133: /dev/ttyHS0: No such file or directory

I checked "dmesg | tail -n 30" and on the latter lines I found "HS0: Found Control port /dev/ttyHS0"

Started my ee today and just tried to run the connecting. and it connected. Got no clue what was wrong yesterday but now I'm online.

edit. trying a few times I find a few trouble.

-Disconnecting and then reconnecting result in error at connection attempt.
-Pulling out the Option plug and plugging it in again while ee is on most often crash my eee and I have to reboot.

However if I connect my Option modem while my eee is off, then boot with it in I can connect without problem.

Hi all. This is my 1st post here. I hope you can help me get my Option Icon 225 working on my Eee 901.

I've been following this guide: http://www.pharscape.org/content/view/66/53/

All goes well until it's time to compile rezero. Then I get this:

kars@Tito:~/Desktop/hso-udev$ make
cc -o rezero rezero.o
/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [rezero] Error 1

I am running Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 - http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/index.php5?title=Get_Ubuntu_Eee
With the Array.org custom kernel - http://www.array.org/ubuntu/setup901.html

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi all,

Just thought I'd join to say thanks to all the experts and people more clever than I - who put together these drivers and made a daunting process magically happen.

Basically my cousin bought an Acer Aspire one and an Orange Icon 225. This little combo doesn't work out of the box - as you could imagine, but by me simply installing the HSO drivers and rebooting, the option appeared in the menu and et voila - all connected. Albeit at 2G, as I live in the sticks Smile

So thanks again - just so you know there are lurkers out there that appreciate your expert help.

Maf, Essex.

No such file: No such file or directory

Had a few of these myself , but I found that often it was actually a folder that didnt exist. I made the folder manually and then everything worked fine. At least something to check Smile

Thanks for that Calaretu. So in my case I would have to create the directory /usr/bin/ld, right?

I am not going to try this though, because I got it to work via a slightly different route. I went with the method ChillyWilly has posted here. That did the trick.
