cheers for reply, I have a HTC HD2 mobile, I've put Android on it, that uses RNDIS to use as an USB modem and works as the same as an ethernet card in linux, When I connect my phone to USB, it starts as a USB storage device, so does this T-Mobile stick, on my phone go through menus and turn on internet sharing, this stick has that option in Windows with the software that comes with it... the one I have is the second one down https://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-broadband/usb-stick/ Date: Fri, 6 May 2011 13:00:43 -0400 Subject: Re: T-Mobile Mobile Broadband USB stick 615 (Huawei e173) From: [email protected] To: [email protected] I don't know about that gizmo, but more years ago than I like to remember my first cellphone was with Sprint, and when I upgraded to a PCS phone with data, I bought a USB cable for it. And it showed up as a working serial port under Linux. As I recall a simple ATD out the port readied it for PPP. Might not be so simple with a (vastly faster) broadband, but I wouldn't be surprised if it just looked like an ethernet dongle. If you've got a friendly T-mo store nearby, might ask if they have one you can try. -Bennett On May 6, 2011 12:31 PM, "Gary Nye" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi guys, > Has anyone used a USB Mobile Broadband device with LFS? > A quick search with google comes up with Mint and Ubuntu and using usb-modeswitch or something, > and one result that went to T-Mobile said only laptops and sticks brought as a bundle from Carphonewharehouse > are supported. > > If someone has been able to get this working, any chance of a guide/pointing in the right direction.. > > ps at the moment i am running a 6.3 I think on a sony vaio laptop, and about to install the latest 6.8 when i get around to it, > if i have to i`ll use windows to download everything then boot into lfs to start 6.8 install > > thanks for any replies > > -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
