It seems to be connected but I can't get online (only with a cable) If I use the stick in my laptop it works perfect, but not on this zorin lite.. Can someone please tell me what to do :?:

Hi,

you said in the link you posted:

"Sorry for wasting your time I have just been talking to the man, he say that it never been working.. Problem solved..."

Are you having a problem with the cable connection too??.

Regards Wolfman :)

First of all follow my guide here to get the latest modeswitch installed. Your mobile broadband stick will be better recognized and hopefully will work.

You need the cable connection to carry out the guide.

No the cable works fine... the wireless never worked but he uses a usb stick. I didn't have the usb stick so I could not test it at the time.But now I have the usb and it wont work.. Before when he had windows xp the usb worked but not with zorin lite..

when I do the sticky I end up with this "kalle@kalle-AMILO-M-Series:~$ cd /home/kalle/Downloads/usb-modeswitch-1.2.5
kalle@kalle-AMILO-M-Series:~/Downloads/usb-modeswitch-1.2.5$ sudo make install
[sudo] password for kalle:
sudo: make: Kommando ikke fundet
kalle@kalle-AMILO-M-Series:~/Downloads/usb-modeswitch-1.2.5$ "

I think you need to install build-essentials.

In terminal do
Code:
sudo apt-get install synaptic


and then try the guide again.
