Using Starcomms i-zap on Ubuntu Lucid (10.04)

Fanen Uncategorized

For the EpiValley modem, with Starcomms, and probably any other network. The title says Starcomms simply because Starcomms seems to be most fond of the device.

And yes, this should apply to any recent Linux distribution even. I use ubuntu, so here goes.

All you need to do is install usb-modeswitch (it’s in the ubuntu repositories), then remove the device if it was already plugged in, and plug it back in. Network manager will show it as an available mobile internet device.

It’s as easy as that.

Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us. Sing a song full of the hope that the present has bought us. Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. — James Weldon Johnson
