Hi Melissa,<br>
<br>
I've decided to take the plunge into Ubuntu but I have come accross an early<br>
hurdle:<br>
<br>
I have a new Asus eeepc notebook and connect to the internet using a Telstra<br>
broadband wirless modem (Sierra Wireless USB 308 modem). It obvously works<br>
with my Windows XP, but it is not recognised by Ubuntu 9.04. I have tried to<br>
manually configure it using the Ubuntu documentation but it still does not<br>
get recognised. I have searched the Sierra Wireless website and have<br>
downloaded drivers and instructions, but the 'make' command ends in errors.<br>
I have read many questions and answers on the <a href="https://answers.launchpad.net/" target="_blank">https://answers.launchpad.net/</a><br>
web site and none seem to offer any help. I have tried on two occassions to<br>
ask my own question. I got to the point where I entered a summary line, then<br>
I can't seem to get any further. I must say it is very difficult for a<br>
novice to find the question page and add any detail. I have screen output of<br>
all the termianl window commands etc. which would make sense to a linux<br>
administrator.<br>
<br>
Sorry about the verbose explanation, but I want you to know I have tried as<br>
best I can to follow the Ubuntu protocol to find an answer. I was a Unix<br>
system administrator (DEc Ultrix) several life-times ago, now I simply want<br>
to use anything but Microsoft or Apple operating systems. I hope you can<br>
point me in the right direction.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
