[Solved] Mobile Broadband Issues with Lubuntu 10.04
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 8:02 am
Hi!
I recently made a live/persistent install of Lubuntu 10.04 on a USB-HDD. It's a LaCie 320 GB portable drive. I successfully made 80 GB for Lubuntu as a portable OS and the other 240 GB partitioned for storing data on.
It mostly works well enough. But I can't seem to get it to connect to mobile broadband. I can't even get that option from the network icon. Even though I installed the same drivers and connection information that worked just fine on Mint 9 LXDE and Peppermint OS. I had no problems getting it to work on Mint 9 LXDE nor Peppermint OS. And I just assumed that using the same drivers and log in information would work with Lubuntu 10.04. No such luck , of course.
Does anyone know why Lubuntu 10.04 might be temperamental with recognizing mobile broadband?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this one!
