On the web there are several guides for installing the key Olivetti that Tim gives consumers who want to use the offer includes 100 hours of internet browsing per month, the 'Olicard 100, this is the name of the USB device is easily installed on Windows and Mac OS while some people find it difficult to act on GNU / Linux distributions.

Honestly I think Italy Mobile Telecom has made packages of questionable utility for some distributions and the lack of complete instructions does not help anything for life to customers. Opening the package dell'Olicard 100 and going to browse the booklet you may notice that provides guidelines for the instllazione on Windows and Mac OS, both procedures extremely trivial, on the contrary there is no specific reference to the installation process on Linux, in my opinion the single process worthy of being exposed.

From what I could not personally verify the phone support (119) is prepared on why I decided to provide you with this tutorial created by merging several Italian guides and abroad to provide the right explanation. I was able to perform the procedure on Ubuntu Netbook Remix and they were not able to ensure perfect operation on other distributions, even if in broad directives should be the same.

First insert the key into a USB port, it will be recognized at the moment as a mass storage device and you must go to the Linux folder> to install Ubuntupackage. deb (right click> Install Package). After installation need to remove the key and restart the computer. A computer restart insert the key, open the terminal (Accessories> Terminal) and type the following command: sudo modprobe usbserial vendor = 0 Ã? 0b3c product = 0xC000

Will be asked to enter the root password after you type it, press Enter to allow the command

Without this you will need to install two packages from System> Administration> Synaptic Package Manager, search the search bar and select usbserial and wvdial and then click "Apply" by entering the password of Directors Installation Now create two new files will be ch will be created simply using the text editor gedit, first run this command:

sudo gedit / etc/udev/rules.d/10-OLIdatacarddisk.rules

Editor opens, type the following line:

This udev rule # Automatically eject the virtual USB CD-ROM drive When connecting the Olivetti 100 HSDPA Modem Data Card

KERNEL == "sr [0-9]", SYSFS (idVendor) == "0b3c, SYSFS (idProduct) ==" C700 ", symlink =" GKxdatacarddisk ", RUN + =" / usr / bin / eject-s% k

Click Save and then File> Exit

Back in the terminal and run:

sudo gedit / etc/udev/rules.d/11-OLIdatacardmodules.rules

Editor, add the line:

This udev rule # Automatically loads the usbserial kernel module for the Olivetti 100 HSDPA Modem Data Card
SYSFS (idVendor) == "0b3c, SYSFS (idProduct) ==" c000 ", RUN + =" / sbin / modprobe usbserial vendor = 0 Ã? 0b3c product = 0xC000 "

Save and exit as before

Reopen the terminal and run:

sudo gedit / etc / wvdial.conf

Editor to overwrite the contents of the configuration file with this (NB: If the next step is not detected the device is necessary to change the number after "ttyUSB" trying 1,2,3 etc):

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = / dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = off
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 921600
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT + CGDCONT = 1, "IP", "ibox.tim.it"
Phone = * 99 #
Dial Command = ATDT
Dial Attempts = 1
Ask Password = off
Username = ""
Password = ""
Auto Reconnect = off
Abort on Busy = off
Carrier Check = on
Check Def Route = on
Abort on No Dialtone = on
Stupid Mode = on
Idle Seconds = 0 > Auto DNS = on

Type wvdial in the terminal and press enter after a couple of minutes to create a new connection from Network Connections> Mobile Network Connection> Add; the device for the connection should be automatically recognized (see brackets above step, if not recognized), go ahead and choose the operator (TIM), leave all parameters unchanged and always press forward until the establishment of the connection. The Network Manager has a bug which will be required to perform the second step (sudo modprobe usbserial vendor = 0 Ã? 0b3c product = 0xC000) Remove and reinsert the stick, connect with Tim iBox Finally, to allow Firefox to recognize the connection just run when you start the command sudo gedit / etc / resolv.conf and insert the following lines in the file:

nameserver 213,230,130,222 r /> nameserver 213.230.155.94

Without this, the key should not cause problems, do not forget to perform the last steps each time the computer.
