3G Cellular Success with Ubuntu
Hooray! My Sierra Wireless AirCard 880 is working with Ubuntu 8.04.1 (Hardy Heron)! This is something I have been wanting to get working for quite a while. What it means is that I won't have to boot Vista in order to use my laptop on the train and bus during my daily commute.
There were two keys to getting it to work. First, I needed some specific information that you can only get from your cellular service provider - in my case, Swisscom (I purchased my card as an OEM product sold as the Swisscom Mobile Unlimited Card). What you need to get from them is the APN address, and a Login and Password. In fact with Swisscom the User and Password information are actually not necessary, but the Ubuntu card configuration requires them.
