I'm entirely new to Ubuntu and hence do not have much knowledge about it…
I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS version alongside with Windows 7 since i wanted dual booting option.
Here's my problem… The ZTE MF180 3G Datacard USB Modem (Service provider – BSNL) is working fine in Windows 7 without any problems but it is NOT working in my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
To add to this i do not have acces to any wired network for internet…
I want to get rid of Windows so as to use only Ubuntu but without internet what good would it be right..?
As i mentioned earlier i'm new to this OS (i like Ubuntu… it is much better than Windows) and I'm in desperate need of help…
It would be great if anybody could suggest me clearly how to make my 3G Datacard work…
Thanks in advance…
