Subject: Help needed with One t laptop - dongle issues
Hi, I hope someone can help! I've just had a new Elonex One t laptop delivered, I tried plugging in my internet dongle (o2 E160 model) and it doesn't automatically install the connection manager. Is this dongle compatable with this computer? If not, please advise what else I could do or I'll need to send back the computer. Many thanks in advance, Natalie

The dongle you have is technically a Huawei E160. Elonex laptops run their own Linux distro called "Linos". It is possible to get the dongle working, but it's not easy. The guide I found is here: [url]http://dani.tac-ops.net/blog/Getting+the+Huawei+E160+to+work+/[/url]

Hi, thank you for replying, however this link doesn't seem to work, it brings up a page stating the following: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: http://dani.tac-ops.net/blog/Getting+the+Huawei+E160+to+work+/ Line Number 89, Column 83:function _uHash(d){if(!d||d=="")return 1;var h=0,g=0;for(var i=d.length-1;i>=0;i--){var c=parseInt(d.charCodeAt(i));h=((h<<6)&0xfffffff)+c+(c<<14);if((g=h&0xfe00000)!=0)h=(h^(g>>21));} and that's it....perhaps you'd know another site with similar advise as to what to do? Cheers :)

Hmmm. I just tried the link and got the page just fine. Perhaps they had just been updating it when you tried?

FWIW, if you still have the problem, then it is likely an issue with your browser.
