I live out in the sticks. I have a borrowed modem, with which to test the feasibility of using wireless at home. The boss - who loaned me the modem - isn't tech savvy at all. She handed me the modem, and said, "Have fun!" - or words to that effect.
The thing is, I run Linux, not Windows. I'm holding this little gadget, and can't read much on it. There isn't ROOM to print much! It's USB, and when I plug it in, Ubuntu recognizes it as a broadband wireless device. I get a little thingy in the connection manager, and it attempts to connect.
The wizard asked my for my country, and my carrier - Verizon, of course - and that was all the input I had. Editing the connection shows that I'm using number #777. User and password spaces are blank.
Can someone tell me how to figure out WHAT I have, so that I might make some intelligent searches targeted at the device in my hands?
