Wireless 5500 Mobile > Broadband (3G HSDPA) Minicard Modem Now I have a mystery. I have three laptops here at the moment. One Dell Insprion 1501 with Fedora 9 on it which is the laptop that I really intend for this to work on. One "no name" Intel laptop with Fedora 9 on it, and one Acer Aspire One with Fedora 10-beta on it. I just plugged the modem into the Intel and the Acer to see what would happen. The Acer found it and set up the /dev/ttyUSB0 device for me with no action required on my part at all. I set up the connection and away I go. The Intel didn't set up the /dev/ttyUSB0 device, just like the Dell doesn't. So... I guess my next step is to put F10-beta on the Dell and see what happens. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
