ZTE MF627 on ubuntu 9.10

Dear readers,

I've been 3 days doing research and "how's to" to make my broadband ZTE MF627 working with ubuntu 9.10 version. In the end, my effort toward making the dream come true (MF627 working with Ubuntu 9.10) are worth it. Finally I can take a deep breath and enjoy surfing...


This credit I would like to thanks http://hardc0l2e.wordpress.com/2009/12/03/zte-mf627-on-ubuntu-9-10/ for make my dream come true...

This is the 5 step instruction that I practice.

1. Add the repos via console

sudo echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/liamgh/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/liamgh/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list 

2.  Then import the public key

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 187f34b24a23a1ac

3.  then update the current repo configurations and install the package

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install zte-mf627-switch

4. Restart the system to properly check if automatically detects the modem, even in NetworkManager.

5. Done.


Never thinks twice but always think ahead beyond!
