[ubuntu-za] e220 modem

Sun Jul 22 19:34:22 UTC 2012

Hi there

I also have an e220, and had problems. Got a patch from somewhere and set
an executable file. It doesn't work through the widget in the top right but
it gets you to connect.

Let me know if you want me to send it to you?

Kind Regards
Leon

in a free world without fences, who needs gates.
**
help microsoft stamp out piracy - give Ubuntu <http://www.ubuntu.com> to a
friend today.
**
to mess up an Ubuntu <http://www.ubuntu.com> box, you need to work at it.
to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it.
**
The installation instructions stated to install Windows 2000 or better.
So I installed Ubuntu <http://www.ubuntu.com>.
