Comment 28 for bug 290177

I'm using an Asus EeePC 1000H and am trying to use my Option Icon 225 stick (got this by Orange Switzerland). I seem to encounter the same problems, but on a brand new installed and completely updated Jaunty Jackalope (9.04).

When I first connect the stick, some kind of wizard appears, which lets me choose my country (Switzerland) and my provider (Orange). After clicking "Apply" (I'm not sure about the English menus, buttons and dialogs) a message appears at the upper right corner. It tells me that I can start the connection by clicking on the network icon. I do this, select "Orange". After that I get a small dialog box asking for the PIN code, which I type in correctly. Everything looks great, but then it will not connect. There's a small black box at the upper right corner telling me: "GSM Network - you are now offline". It doesn't matter if I boot the EeePC with the stick connected or if I connect it afterwards.

I didn't try to apply the patch mentioned in this thread yet, because I'm using Jaunty and I'm not sure if things would be worse afterwards.

I attach a log file (syslog) of what's logged while connecting the stick and trying to get it work.

If you need other logs, just tell me how to get them. I'm not very experienced in this.
