| chrishawker | hello, anyone alive in here? | 12:02 |
|---|---|---|
| jea | hi chrishawker | 12:03 |
| chrishawker | heya jea | 12:03 |
| chrishawker | i need some ubuntu help. | 12:03 |
| chrishawker | I have an Optus/Huawei E3276 4G LTE modem, which I am trying to use on 14.04 LTS | 12:04 |
| chrishawker | how can I get it to connect? | 12:04 |
| jea | Is that a USB one? | 12:04 |
| chrishawker | yes, just usb only | 12:04 |
| jea | Ok. I haven't used a USB modem for a while, nor have I used a Huawei one | 12:05 |
| chrishawker | i know, it sucks ass... | 12:06 |
| jea | When I did use one, I just plugged it in, then the network manager picked up the device, and allowed me to configure it | 12:06 |
| jea | I remember having to set the APN, and then enter the username and password | 12:07 |
| jea | After that though, it worked pretty easily. Just connect | 12:07 |
| chrishawker | yeah, the new 4g modems don't use demand-dial interfaces, afaik. | 12:07 |
| chrishawker | it uses a virtual ethernet port. | 12:08 |
| jea | Oh. that is different | 12:09 |
| jea | One of the benefits of the newer router-like 4G modems is that you don't have to configure all this | 12:10 |
| chrishawker | yeah should be plug-n-play | 12:11 |
| chrishawker | i'll setup a vm to test some stuff i have found, see how that goes. | 12:11 |
| chrishawker | brb. | 12:11 |
| jea | ok | 12:12 |
