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

NAME
faxstate - control ``modem state'' of a device used by HylaFAX SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxstate [ -q queue-dir ] [ -s state ] [ -n ] modem DESCRIPTION
faxstate sends a message to the HylaFAX faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to use the specified state when notifying the HylaFAX scheduler that a modem is ready and available for use. This is useful for controlling outbound use of a modem; by marking a modem's state as busy or down the HylaFAX scheduler will not assign any outbound jobs to the modem. The specified modem can either be the name (typically the last component of the terminal port the modem is attached to), or the full name of the associated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''. If the -n option, faxstate emulates what faxgetty would do; sending a message directly to the faxq process marking the specified modem down, busy, or ready. This interface is useful for send-only environments in which faxgetty processes are not used. Note that modems manipulated in this way must previously have been configured with the faxmodem(8) program. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -n Contact faxq directly instead of faxgetty. -q dir Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax. -s Specify the state to send the faxq process each time the modem becomes ready for use; one of ``busy'', ``down'', and ``ready''. The default state to use is ready. FILES
Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area. SEE ALSO
