I am aware that drivers for these are non-free, but Ubuntu should at least "tell" users how to obtain these drivers and how to install and use them (either manually, or via ubudsl application)

When you first start ubuntu, usb adsl modem is recognized and in hardware list, but it simply does not work. No information is provided on how to enable and start it, so users have to fly back to windows, and search for hours on forums, rarely finding what they need.

In addition, there are users that use pppoe connection via adsl, and all information on the internet is for the pppoa usera. Br2684 package will solve their problems, so it should be installed by default (it is a 7 kB package)

agree, many essential conectivity packages are not included qith the live-CD (be it Br2684, gnome-ppp, etc.)]]> Sat, 08 Mar 2008 12:53:25 +0000
i'm gone mad every time i'v got to install USB mode Alcatel Speedtouch 330.

Think this:
in third-world countrys (like where i am) MOST of the ISP, provide USB modems when the client contract Internet.
if you provide support for these USB modems, I think GNU/Linux, and ubuntu himself, will be beneficiated ( will be in better position)

Sorry about my english

This site it's a GREAT idea, fill de demand, and you will win (and that's better for the world, for everyone)

This is an important feature. in the betas of Gutsy i've seen (if i'm not wrong) a method to install manually the proprietary drivers of USB modems, but i haven't see anything of that.]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2008 07:49:46 +0000 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 09:45:17 +0000

But that's a good idea, all the world has not a Router... ¬¬'']]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:12:24 +0000 I agree, I have it too, and install it without a problem, but firmware, and br2684 drivers have to be downloaded elsewhere. Alo, ubuntu itself doesn't even say what is wrong, so users with no experience just say: no thanks, i'm back to windows, it all works with a click there...]]> Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:05:03 +0000
This idea should have more votes!!]]> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:28:09 +0000 And you're right, this idea should have more votes :)]]> Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:50:15 +0000 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:14:14 +0000 the but was reported on 2006 and still there.
I am new to linux but not to computers. It is really taking for ever to do such a simple thing. I know I could just go down the shop and buy a new modem, but I am totally against that idea. The modem works perfectly on windows.
If I cannot get it work I will go back to Vista ( I hate having to say that after all I have say about windows... but at least works) ]]> Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:31:53 +0000 the but was reported on 2006 and still there.

The other story obviously was about a wireless PCMCIA card from Thomson:
