I have just installed ubuntu 12.10 and in order to access the internet, I used my Smart Bro - Model MF180(Plug and Play USB Stick) but I can't connect to the internet. Are there some modifications or commands that I have to do to enable it?

Have you checked this ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2001525 – VRU Jan 8 at 15:41

oh, I have checked that one already but I don't know how does that "get the python script...and run.." so I can't really follow – cabbit Jan 8 at 15:46
Your MF180 connects via USB? Run lsusb and give us the output so that we know the vendor ID and product ID of your Smart Bro, it works wonders when googleing for configuring USB peripherals in Linux. Also, did you install Ubuntu via Wubi? Do you have access to a computer where Ubuntu was installed directly to the hard disk without Wubi? – titaniumtux Jan 8 at 15:48
Here are the results from lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub, Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub, Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub, Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub, Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub – cabbit Jan 8 at 15:53
