Bit of a political situation here.
I was sat in the Vodafone HQ reception this afternoon bashing away on the email waiting for one of my friends to finish his meeting so we could go for a coffee after work.
I had not configured my Vodafone USB stick to work with the Apple Air — on account of the Air not having a disk drive for the CD. I *think* you can download Vodafone Mobile Connect software for the Apple from the Vodafone site — but, that, well, it wasn’t that useful to me when I was sat in reception without a connection.
So I used my 3 modem stick (on trial from the 3MobileBuzz chaps) instead. When my friend arrived, he was understandably unimpressed to see the 3 logo sticking out of the Air. I took some ribbing.
However, here’s the explanation. 3’s USB stick comes with both PC and Mac drivers — the stick actually has a small amount of on-board memory. It’s a genius concept. So when you put it into any computer, you can quickly install the drivers easily. For PC … AND MAC.
The Vodafone stick only has PC drivers.
So I did a bit of jiggerypokery and some guesswork at the Moto service station this evening and managed to use the 3 Mobile Connect software to add a profile for my Vodafone stick and configure it to work.
Just in case you find yourself in a similar bind, here are the settings that worked for me:
