Re: [Staffslug] 3g modem no iface.
Looks like you got quite far! That IP looks familiar - is it a tmobile web-n-walk card?
Did you use any specific drivers for it?

Hello,
Can anyone help please?
I have a 3g USB modem running in Ubuntu 7.10.
I got it working (works fine) by following and slightly modifying some
instructions that I found plus an edit to wvdial.conf. I didn't
really understand any of this but it works!(the noob method)
I have no stats yet so no idea of signal strength or data volume.
Problem is that 'buntu doesn't see it as an interface which means that
the firewall does not start.
I run wvdial in a terminal whilst connected.
