It is very likely that your device will never be recognized for a 3G modem thanks to the age of the system. If you do not like the jump from KDE 3.5.10 to KDE 4 (I can understand that...) then you can try the KDE 3.5 "remix" of Karmic or Lucid: http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/ Kindly, Sinclair -- kubuntu-users mailing list kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |
