Random Geekage » mobile http://kevinisageek.org Randomness, geekery and whatever else I feel like Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:59:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 I love Ubuntu http://kevinisageek.org/2008/11/14/i-love-ubuntu/ http://kevinisageek.org/2008/11/14/i-love-ubuntu/#comments Fri, 14 Nov 2008 16:29:13 +0000 Kevin http://kevinisageek.org/weblog/?p=306 So I’m sitting in front of my computer and I remembered I was given a guide on how to use the mobile internet functionality of my N95 with an EeePC. I figured I would give it a shot.

I selected PC mode as the usb connection type. Lo’ and behold, NetworkManager picked it right up. Told it I was on the o2 network with a contract, hit apply, disabled the wifi and I was online through my phone.

No terminal, no esoteric config files, just select from a menu and hit a button. Can it really be this easy?!  I was looking forward to something more interesting. Oh well.

(This was done with Ubuntu 8.10, Intrepid Ibex, I doubt it would be this easy with an earlier version)

Sending doesn’t work yet which is a bit of a pain but not a huge deal.

I also have 600 minutes and 500 texts to burn through each month so if you want a chat gimmie your number and I’ll call/text you (no international stuff, UK only).
