How to build and install Vodafone Mobile Broadband / Wader in Ubuntu Lucid 10.4 LTS
WHAT IS THIS VMB / WADER THING?
Vodafone Mobile Broadband (VMB) is a 3G manager GUI software sponsored by Vodafone company.
Wader is a 3G manager daemon which deals directly with your mobile device.
VMB communicates with Wader via dbus.
Currently VMB/Wader supports "wvdial" and "Network Manager" backends.
Both VMB and Wader are written in python.
We are going to build and install them in a Ubuntu Lucid (10.4 LTS) system.
DOWNLOAD THE SOURCE CODE
VMB and Wader are not part of Ubuntu Lucid official repository, so we are going to build them from their sources.
First we need to install git to clone VMB and Wader repositories:
$ sudo aptitude install git-core$ git clone https://github.com/andrewbird/wader$ git clone https://github.com/andrewbird/vodafone-mobile-broadband
