Problem with 3G/HDMA internal broadband on Lenovo G560 in Ubuntu
Hi guys, i have grand problem with my 3G modem in Ubuntu. It's looks like modem is absent on the my device, but i know that it present. In Windows 7 a see Simple PCI Communication Contorller in device maanger, but in Ubuntu i don't see some similar. May be whoes knows how to detect and start working with 3g modem in linux on the Lenovo G560?
I just want to add that x-ubuntu 10.04 liveCD did not automatically loaded the drivers I needed
Code:
((sudo)modprobe) usbserial
and
Code:
((*)*) option
that worked for me (UMTS/HSPA/BB) USB Stick Huawei K3715.
x-ubuntu 9.10 liveCD did.
(I really get confused by "3G" because of "togo".)
The last days I surprisingly found out that "option" does not mean "choice" (perhaps "internet-access-choice" between wire and wireless) but "http://www.option.com/". This driver works for me.

Well, before im start the search nessessary drivers i need to know what kind is my modem, so how i can know about type of my modem and what device in the system is handled to it?
today I slaughtered a blade with salt crusted RAM that only had a useable 20 GB Seagate HD to be used.
actually I am running Puppy 4.3.1 liveCD without HD just to 256 MB RAM.
unfortunately this Puppy hasn't lsusb and lshal and the lspci is limited.
but normally lspci command shows off much.
if you just would paste the relevant wireless/modem parts of the ls* because they tend to be very large.
the following is mine ls* + part of output of the hardinfo command (-->GUI) that is somewhat equal to ls* command:
Code:
# modprobe usbserial
# modprobe option
# lspci

Karl, thnx a lot for responsing again. I've started hardinfo and i have't seen mobile modem. When i looked through my devices in `hardinfo`, there are `Devices / Usb Devices` section is empty and `Devices / PCI devices` not contains elements similar to modem. At first time i think that modem is absent in my system, but in Windows 7 i see PCI Simple Communication cotroller without drivers installed, but other devices in system, are correctly configured (drivers installed from original Lenovo g560 CD)
I googled a little for lenovo G 560
and found old ThinkPad and new IdeaPad.
I could not find any data about 3G modem but usual ethernet chip wlan and such.
The 10,1" IdeaPad S10 seems to have a 3G module.
I am not sure if it would become usual for 15" laptops to have a WideAreaNetwork module inserted. WirelessLokalAreaNetwork (WLAN) != WAN.
PCMCIA* != ExpressCard*
If it is the i* IdeaPad it makes sense for fresh unix version but if it is the old ThinkPad so try, if you really like Ubuntu, for 3G older versions. The K-Ubuntu 8.10 really runs fine and is unexpectedly easy to setup that I am running at the moment.
Just want to add that while running Mandriva Xfce-4 2009 live I encountered a similar hardware detection problem:
The Mobile Broadband got setup and internet running but at harddrake I got only this output:
CD-ROM sr1 Modul: usb-storage (option)
This was solving the problem:
Code:
[guest@localhost ~]$ lsusb
bash: lsusb: command not found
[guest@localhost ~]$ sudo lsusb
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
guest is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
[guest@localhost ~]$
So, Karl, i have't any ideas((( I'm not understand how i can check for internal modem is present... Look through my output please:
