Netbook Remix

From the site: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is optimised to run on a new category of affordable Internet-centric devices called netbooks. It includes a new consumer-friendly interface that allows users to quickly and easily get on-line and use their favourite applications. This interface is optimised for a retail sales environment.

Telus, Ubuntu, and USB Cellular Modems

Over the past four months I have installed and configured twelve Dell Inspiron mini 10 netbooks with Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) Netbook Remix. The netbooks are connected via USB cellular modems from Telus. During the process of ordering and configuring the cellular modems I received three different modems:

  • Sierra Wireless USB 598
  • Sierra Wireless USB 306
  • Huawei E182E

Overall I managed to get all three USB cellular modems working with Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) Netbook Remix. I ran into a few technical issues that I overcame and have had great success with all three cellular modems.
