but it could depend which USB socket is used,

some hardware only functions from some sockets, 

same problem with my laptop, some hardware only functions if

things are connected to the correct USB sockets.


I will verify if the current socket I am trying functions from Windows,

but the fact the neighbourhood modems are showing up suggests its ok.

not sure what is "network manager" but from the sonar icon at the

left of the top right I deleted everything. Then I selected the network

and gave the password, but I still cannot use the internet.

with this approach I give just the password, but it still doesnt function.


the sonar icon has the waves going back and forth,

and every now and then a requester appears:

Wireless Network Authentication Required

and I give the same password again, and I continue to be unable to

use the internet again.


actually right now there is a red exclamation mark on the sonar.
