Huawei E-173

now i don't now if really works because i was with the wireless network enable also!! i only think it works because the light of the device was on...

It's helpful to approach these kind of problems systematically. When you say "wireless", what is that? Anyway, to test the Huawei, whatever it is, switch it off (for instance, with Wicd) and try with just the Huawei.

WICD don't detect the mobile broadband device. When i say wireless is the wireless network card of the laptop. with gnome-network-manager aplet of any other distro this works fine...

So if you could get the wireless network card to work, would you be able to forget about the Huawei? What card is it? For instance:

Code: Select all

#lspci | grep -i wireless

"Any other distro" is quite possibly using a different kernel. So you can't compare.

But hugok says sakis3g works in his friend's Slackware. So it can't be the kernel - unless the friend has done a kernel upgrade?

[gapan]

If it works in Slackware, it should work in Salix anyway. So it's either something he tweaked in Slackware to make it work, or something he tweaked in Salix and broke it. And it's not even the same PC. He says it works in a friends PC with Slackware and he probably has no idea what that Slackware installation really is or what the hardware is or what his friend has installed or what he has tweaked. Anyway, this is just another case of an "it doesn't work" bug report and all that anyone can do is guess. While I hate guessing, my guess is that this is most probably a resolv.conf thing, but who knows?

I´m going to reinstall salix 13.37 again.... maybe that resolve the issue.
Changing the subject... now i don't now if i give MATE edition a try now ... instead XFCE.... any advise??

[mimosa]

Give Maté a try, unless your hardware is very slow. It's lovely!

Cannot put the mobile broadband device working with sakis 3g...
I tested with "network manager" in slackware current and it works fine...
