Hello friends,
When I was back home (9 months ago), most of you asked me about the possibility of accessing Internet using AriaNet or ReberQuick. Unfortunately, by then I had no clear answer, what I could do, was sending this post.
The good news, I recently found a rather easy way to connect to such connection plans (so called, mobile broadband), the following screenshots show the steps of activating the connection. To let you know, I am using the latest version of Ubuntu 10.10:
Note: click on the photos to see them in a better size.
1- First connect your device to your computer.
2- Go to the Network applet, right click on it and select (Edit Connections).
3- Click on the Mobile Broadband tab.
4- Click on forward.
5- Select Iraq, and click forward.
6- Select (I can't find my provider, and I wish to enter it manually), then write the name of your provider (either Arianet or Reber Quick), then click forward.
7- Now, click on Apply and you are almost done :)
8- Enter your username and password, then click on Apply.
9- Now your connection is ready, and you can simply select it by clicking on your Network applet.
I think, this is a really easy way to configure it, unfortunately, I didn't have access to any mobile broadband device, so I cannot guarantee that this will work, but you can give it a try, and write me feedback on it.
Happy Internet connection :)
