Vodafone Mobile Connect for Linux

March 5th, 2010 liuk 2 comments

If you have a Vodafone Internet Key and you don’t want to get crazy configuring it, use this really fine package: Vodafone Mobile Connect from Betavine Forge, a Vodafone Group R&D Lab.

It has nice features like:

  • statistics about transferred bytes (rx/tx)
  • sending SMS
  • choosing your preferred network settings (gprs, umts, preferred)
  • nice Python GUI
  • automatic detection of your Internet Key
  • it will not use Network Manager

It will works fine also with recent Internet Keys which need usb_modeswitch.

I’ve tested with a 28.8 Mbps USB Internet Key Model Number K4505 under Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit.

((enjoy))
