Thanks Andrew, that's a good tip!


By the way, version two is out for Fedora which contains a better setup, faster start time, more USB card support, and automatic APN detection for Vodafone SIM's.

version 2.0 rpm for fedora

Not sure if it's build for Fedora 11, I'll check for you tomorrow. Our main site and testing is falling way behind our builds on the forge due to the new release of the Betavine web site which is almost complete! :-( ...

Kind regards, Nicholas

The vodafone-mobile-connect-1.99.17-8.noarch on Fedora 11 does not work out of the box.

The reason being that Fedora 11 ships with 2.6 of python now and the vmc installs the python packages to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/vmc.

I got this working by creating a symbolic link as follows:
ln -s /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/vmc /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/vmc

It seems the vodafone software is compatible with 2.6 of python. I tested it on a train journey and it worked perfectly.

thanks, i´ll try and then I will tell you

gracias, lo probaré y te cuento

i have the VMC card driver 2.0 beta 3 on my machine, here's the download link :

https://forge.betavine.net/frs/download.php/267/vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-2.0.beta3.tar.gz

once downloaded, decompress the file and install it (just double click on the *.run file and select "run" when it asks what to do with the file)

after you're finished installing, plug in the huawei and run the program ( go to applications>internet>VMC card driver). it will detect your modem, and work automatically.

if it doesn't, close the VMC software, open a terminal and write :
same stuff in spanish / lo mismo en español :

yo tengo el VMC card driver version 2.0 beta 3, el enlace para descargarlo es este :

https://forge.betavine.net/frs/download.php/267/vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-2.0.beta3.tar.gz

una vez descargado, descomprime el archivo y instalalo (haz doble click en el archivo *.run y selecciona "ejecutar")

cuando el programa este instalado, enchufa el huawei y abre el programa (esta en el menu aplicaciones>internet>VMC card driver). el modem deberia detectarse y configurarse automaticamente.

En caso de no detectarse el modem o de que no funcione la configuracion automatica, cierra el programa VMC, abre un terminal y escribe :
