I have done a lot of searching for help regarding this subject, and found many pages and different methods, but, the problem is, I am just sooo novice, that I don´t know how to do anyting!! I scarecely worked out how to open a terminal recently. So all these explainations followed by lengthy codes and terms I don´t understand, are pretty useless to me. I think that this modem is missing a driver, which apparently comes in a software by Vodafone for this modem. I downloaded this software (using Windows obviously to connect), and opened the instructions to install this software, and cannot understand a single thing of the instructions of how to install.. Help, what can I do?? It is nice to see that someone is speaking in simple terms and explaining things from scratch, but this still doesn't give me the answer I need, as it is necesary to connect to internet to use Synaptic. Thanks a lot, hope someone can help. Lawrence.
