Should this mobile broadband stick work? It's not showing in Network Manager.

I'm running Squeeze with Gnome.

I've tried Betavine, but it's aimed at Ubuntu Lucid rather than Debian so I'm getting dependency problems.

[phenest]

I got betavine to work... but only with my 3 dongle. It seems this Vodafone dongle is not supported in Linux.

[phenest]

Maybe it's only available in the sid repos, but I upgraded to sid today, and now this Vodafone dongle shows up in NM. Although, I still can't get it to connect. Just two grey dots.

Is there a way to determine why it won't connect?

this seems to be a ZTE device, and I am guessing it has "switched' so it is seen as a modem;

if you copy and paste

dmesg | grep tty

into a terminal, and see ttyUSB0 etc your device is seen as a modem;

you can copy and paste your results back here

suggestion:

http://www.sakis3g.org/

sakis produces this very useful script; I have used it in various countries recently and it has worked well; sakis provides good support on his forum;

I suggest trying it instead of the vodafone utility ..

I tried sakis3g and it worked. Thanks for that,pdc_2.
