Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala

Telus, Ubuntu, and USB Cellular Modems

Mon, 03/15/2010 - 09:43 — Dallas Vogels

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.
