Folks:<br><br>The three hard-wired Ethernet dongles I put up on the wiki page this morning as tested and working seem to have dropped off the page. Perhaps they were placed in the wrong spot?<br><br>I also cant seem to add any more results either, did I offend someone?<br>
<br>However, what I can tell you is that my Sierra Wireless 881 3G Broadband Datastick (USB ID 1199:6856) connected fine on the gnome side of the XO 1.5 to Rogers in Canada. I had to manually add the connection to get the APN right, but that was pretty painless. I must say though that the Device ID climbing up to Bus 002, Device 022 before I got it working was a little surprising. On full reboot it went back to Bus 002, Device 003.<br>
<br>But, when the little power indicator at the bottom right went off, which it did after about 10 seconds, the network disconnected and then didn't come back when i played on the trackpad. I needed to manually restart the connection. I was in the middle of downloading a page when this happened, so I'm not really sure why it thinks I'm idle, it just seems to put itself to sleep a little. The screen stayed on.<br>
<br>So then, I couldn't find any control on the Gnome side to turn off auto power management, so I went over to Sugar and turned if off there from the settings page. Should the mobile broadband connection stay active if I do a switch to Sugar? Because it doesn[t seem to, it seems to instead start using my previoua wireless connection from my previous Sugar session by default. Which then made me think, I actually have no idea how to try to nitiate a Broadband modem connection from the Sugar side! Oops. <br>
<br>That said, I then restarted the gnome desktop, with auto-power turned off, started the broadband connection, started firefox, then did absolutely nothing for 4 minutes. I then went to load a new web page and the connection was still active and the new page loaded. So I think that's pretty good, no?<br>
<br>Just let me know if I'm more trouble than help :-)<br><br>Cheers<br><br>KG<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 10:29 AM, Martin Langhoff <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martin.langhoff@gmail.com">martin.langhoff@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
