mf626 hsdpa usb modem with ubuntu 9.04

In Summer 2009 this is the usb-modem which comes with the YESSS-starter-package. And unlike many other modems distributed by yesss this is more difficult to install and many people strongly recommend against using it.

Fortunately some other guys found a way to use it anyway and one guy created a fully working install-script. Download, run the installer (ignore the two errors from a flawed mv-command), reboot and watch the assistant pop-up and enter your provider and later edit the connection to enter your pin-code. Takes ~5 minutes :)

and the installer can be downloaded there or here : zte-mf628-9.04.tar.gz - please note that all credits for this goes to user webbutterfly at ubuntu-austria-forum !!

I just downloaded and used the script. no credits to me.
