i would like to get this u760 working under ubuntu 8.10. i have searched around and all i could find was a very outdated PDF file from sprint, which doesn't have information for the u760 in it. thanks.

I have heard good reports about people using Ubuntu jaunty 9.xx, some report their modem was recognized when plugged in. It could be worth upgrading. For more help look here: http://ubuntuforums.org

i was able to get it working. if the moderator uncensors my post, we will all see the details. i think it got censored because i put a link to the pdf file with the instructions.

all right, well it said something like it was pending moderator approval, not 'lost forever'. i would've expected it to be approved by now. anyway, the guide i followed was at www4.sprint.com/pcsbusiness/downloads/Sprint_Mobile_Broadband_Setup_Guide.pdf and basically i just ignored the steps 1-4. i also used GNOME PPP instead of KPPP which saved hundreds of MB since ubuntu uses gnome. if using kubuntu then stick with KPPP.

scar,
Thanks for the update of your progress. To display links you must have more posts, over 10 I recall, then you should be given permission.
