Firstly: have you looked
here? If those are the instructions you're following, which step had the problem?
Alternatively: I know the EEE machines don't come with Ubuntu, they come with a version of Xandros Linux, but I had a bit of a search and found
this. What I'm reading there is that you don't need to download any bits, it just takes a few commands. I obviously can't test this myself, not having the hardware, but what happens if you follow that?
- open a Terminal (the Ctrl-Alt-R bit) and enter
Code:
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0×19d2 product=0×0063
less /var/log/dmesg
The second command opens a log file so you can see the results of the first command. Look for any lines with /dev/ttyUSB in them, near the bottom. If you can see "K3565" in there, that's a start. The rest of the article is about using "wvdialer" to get it going, but there may be an easier way on the EEE system.
