How to configure a wireless modem
I bought a wireless modem from '' 3 ''.
It has software for Windows users.
I talked to their support center.
They know nothing about Linux.
In Ubuntu, I looked at System --> Administration --> Network
I have to click the unlock in the dialog.
It recognized wired connections; there were 3 wired connections.
That is wrong; because the modem from '' 3 '' belongs to wireless family.
I have inserted 2 network cards and on top of that there is a built in network card on the motherboard.
You just connect the modem to the USB port; it simply looks like an ordinary USB module. It is the latest modem from '' 3 ''.
Firefox can't find websites. That means configuration is wrong.
Some of you may have configured Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with a wireless modem.
I need your help.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can go to the Internet with my regular broadband connection which has 24MB data transfer. So the Internet works on that computer though it has 3 network cards. I have already downloaded the 'k3b' program. I have installed Ubuntu on a separate computer which I use for testing purposes. I am writing here using a different computer. I am using open SuSE 11.0

Is there any difference between a null modem cable or a modem cable ?

WIRELESS(7) Linux Programmer's Manual WIRELESS(7)
NAME
wireless - Wireless Tools and Wireless Extensions
SYNOPSIS
iwconfig
iwpriv -a
DESCRIPTION
The Wireless Extensions is an API allowing you manipulate Wireless LAN networking interfaces. It is composed of a variety of tools and
configuration files. It is documented in more detail in the Linux Wireless LAN Howto.
The Wireless Tools are used to change the configuration of wireless LAN networking interfaces on the fly, to get their current configura-
tion, to get statistics and diagnose them. They are described in their own man page, see below for references.
Wireless configuration is specific to each Linux distribution. This man page will contain in the future the configuration procedure for a
few common distributions. For the time being, check the file DISTRIBUTIONS.txt included with the Wireless Tools package.
DEBIAN 3.0
In Debian 3.0 (and later) you can configure wireless LAN networking devices using the network configuration tool ifupdown(8).
