Hi Folks, I was looking for the drivers/software for the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Stick Model K3765 (Huawei HSPA USB stick) to install it on RedHat 6 (64bit) Enterprise Edition. I couldn't find any on the website, but could find the Fedora version at http://www.betavine.net/bvportal/resources/datacards/os/fedora, which I though might just work. However I have hit an issue and welcome suggestions or if my approach is completely flawed and I should just simply give up...

Running the suggested commands at the Fedora link I get yum install wvdial redhat-lsb pyserial python-sqlite2 python-twisted pytz gnome-python2-libegg Loaded plugins: ibm-cds-plugin, ibm-repository, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Package wvdial-1.60-12.el6.x8664 already installed and latest version Package redhat-lsb-4.0-2.1.el6.x8664 already installed and latest version No package pyserial available. No package python-sqlite2 available. Package python-twisted-8.2.0-3.1.el6.noarch already installed and latest version Package pytz-2010h-2.el6.noarch already installed and latest version Package gnome-python2-libegg-2.25.3-20.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do

NOTE: No package pyserial available. No package python-sqlite2 available. Decide to ignore and proceed with next command

rpm -i usbmodeswitch-0.9.7-1.fc11.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libusb-0.1.so.4 is needed by usbmodeswitch-0.9.7-1.fc11.i386 decided to do following instead yum install usbmodeswitch Loaded plugins: ibm-cds-plugin, ibm-repository, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Package usbmodeswitch-1.1.4-1.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do

Thought I was going OK. rpm -i ozerocdoff-0.4-1.fc11.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libusb-0.1.so.4 is needed by ozerocdoff-0.4-1.fc11.i386 decide to do yum install ozerocdoff Loaded plugins: ibm-cds-plugin, ibm-repository, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process No package ozerocdoff available. Error: Nothing to do

NOTE: No package ozerocdoff available.

I have tried to find ozerocdoff for Redhat 6 Enterprise edition but have not being able to find it. Any suggestions please?

Or am I completely wasting my time?

Thank you Michael

Hi Michael, I'm sure that VMC isn't the right choice for RHEL6, as RHEL6 uses Network Manager and there will be contention over the modem device with that. Normally I'd recommend using VMC's replacement BCM, but it's not been packaged for anything other than Ubuntu yet. You might try installing usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data, they are the modern replacements for ozerocdoff functionality. I have contributed the correct switching codes for Huawei/Vodafone K3765 to the usb-modeswitch-data project, so I know if you get that installed it should switch your device to modem mode. After you have it switching you should look at trying out the Network Manager applet and try to configure a 'Mobile Broadband' type connection. You'll probably find that it works, of course you won't get SMS, contacts management or usage functions, but you should be able to make an Internet connection.

Hope it helps,

Andrew
