What does it mean when a Net book has “No Mobile Broadband Selected?”?

Question by Lime: What does it mean when a Net book has “No Mobile Broadband Selected?”?
What does it mean when a Net book has “No Mobile Broadband Selected?”

Best answer:

Answer by Gregg DesElms
First of all, in order to even echo that particular error, worded as it is, it means that the netbook either has a mobile broadband card built-in to it, or has a USB version of one inserted into its USB port. And it also means that the netbook has probably already been configured to use that mobile broadband connection, and not a wired or wireless Ethernet connection, as its means of accessing the Internet.

So, then, all the error means is that a specific mobile broadband (2G, 3G or 4G) provider has been selected from however many the card is cabable of receiving.

It could also be a mis-worded error message telling you, simply, that there’s no 2G, 3G or 4G service where you are.

And it could also mean something else. Badly-written utilities echo not-quite-accurate error messages all the time. If whomever wrote the utility that’s echoing that message was in a hurry, s/he might have just used that message as a catch-all for several different possibilities (which, of course, means that s/he is a lousy programmer, and did a crappy job).

If you’re not even trying to use a 2G, 3G or 4G mobile broadband connection, then you need to disable that capability and then tell Windows to use either a wired or wireless Ethernet connection. Of course, you need to be in a WIFI hotspot, or have a wired router or cable modem or DSL modem connected to the netbook first.

Hope that helps.

Is it possible to get a mobile broadband provider that works with the linux os? ?

Question by paul s: Is it possible to get a mobile broadband provider that works with the linux os? ?
I want to buy an acer notebook but there doesn’t seem to be much point if I can’t get mobile broadband for it without much difficulty or expense

Best answer:

Answer by Tim P
Short answer, yes.

First you want to determine if you are limiting yourself to a particular provider, and determine what providers you have to select from in your area.

Then get a listing of the usb wireless cards or pcmcia wireless cards they support/sell.

Then search for the hardware support on some of the linux hardware compatibility lists, such as http://www.ubuntuhcl.org (not just ubuntu compatibility) or http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/index.php or http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html

what is a good mobile broadband plan compatible with a mac?

Question by jzzybme: what is a good mobile broadband plan compatible with a mac?
I know virgin mobile is good, but it is not compatible with a mac.

Best answer:

Answer by Nomadd
All the ones I’ve seen are good with Macs. The only problem that Virgin Mobile might have is a dongle or whatever you plug in that doesn’t have Mac drivers.
Anyhow, Virgin Mobile is a terrible plan. It’s much more expensive than Verizon and AT&T for the amount of data you get and has very poor coverage. Check out the Big outfits.
