Was it quality 6 or even 8 that one need and those that usually sell is quality 4 or my poor memory fails me. Here in Sweden we almost only have MicroSD and not standard SD. So n...

success :)

Richard, I have just tried your upgrade package and have been successful :) Once again it insisted that the maximum baud rate is 9600 and so set the desired baud rate to this. A quick check at speedtest.net however shows this is not actually the case (download speed of 0.46mbps at the time I tried)....

re 9600

Thanks; I also thought 9600 sounded too low when I initially tried it! however... I had read on an O2 troubleshooting forum that this setting worked for other linux distros - I do not profess to understand why, but the device certainly isn't running at this speed as I am able to happily stream BBC i...

Huawei E160 works...

I have had success with an O2 Huawei E160 3G Dongle but found that after using the gprs wizard I had to manually edit the options file [/etc/ppp/options] to set the baud rate correctly to 9600. It then connected fine using the pgprs-connect tool for O2 i had to set the following parameters in the gp...

jwm desktop loading

I get first the jwm desktop for a short while and then the Gnome desktop That's because 'xwin' runs /root/.xinitrd which start the ROX pinboard. To prevent desktop flicktering between ROX and Nautilus I added the command 'killall ROX-Filer' to the Autostart list(System(gnome menu)>Preferences>Sessi...
