It's connected and configured via the wizard but Enable Mobile Broadband is unchecked by default and nothing happens when I click it.

When I click on the o2 mobile broadband connection itself it briefly (around half a second) connects (the icon changes) then disconnects and I get the notification disconnected from network. The usb modem is HUAWEI E173.

I understand there have been some issues in this regard with 11.10 and just wondered if anyone else had gotten one working?

You need to change some settings in network manager (edit connections):

  • APN: m-bb.o2.co.uk
  • phone number: *99#
  • username: o2bb
  • password:password

Once you've connected, go to mobilebroadbandaccess.o2.co.uk to register. I found I was disconnected fairly soon after my initial connection, but after reconnecting (either reboot or remove and reinsert the mobile broadband dongle) it seems to work fine.

  • Is this contract or PAYG settings?

  • Thanks Tom, those settings worked for me, but I had to deselect 'Enable Mobile Broadband' for the dongle to connect properly.
