Recently, I stuck the dongle in the Eee's USB port, and lo! It worked.
And its still working (touch wood).
Anyone got any idea why/how the Eee refused to play nicely for - oh
- nine months or more?
During the period between, did you do any software updates at all? Because it was probably an update to usb_modeswitch or udev that would have fixed it.
I wondered about that, but AFAIK all automagic updates are switched off.
It has developed an irritating (but unimportant) habit of not finding the dongle on my trying to connect, and presenting a pane demanding I identify the device I'm trying to connect to, and I have to cancel it and remove the dongle, then replace it, and then all's hunky-dory.
This is a Vodafing, not a Xandros one, and used to happen before if I tried to connect too soon. Howsomedever. now the Eee's playing ball again, patience doesn't seem to be rewarded any more.
