Sierra AirCard 880 @ Hardy (Ubuntu Linux 8.04)
Just to share that I’ve got this HSDPA / 3.5G, and it works straight away with Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy). No problem whatsoever. Feel free to buy this too.
From what I’ve heard, it seems that the entire Sierra AirCard 8xx is the same (881, 875, etc)
This is nice, now I can browse up to 7.2 Mbps from my laptop wirelessly.
I’m subscribed with IndosatM2’s service. Since I mostly use SSH, I have a feeling that most of the time I won’t go over my 700 MB monthly bandwidth quota, heh. At this speed, using SSH over the Internet feels about as fast as accessing servers in my office’s LAN. Good stuff.

Mas Harry, pakai HSDPA latency/delay ke server-server lokal rata-rata berapa?
May 24th, 2008 22:12
Ke http://rimbalinux.com stabil di 97 ms, http://groups.or.id sekitar 340 ms, http://indo.net.id sekitar 330 ms, http://cbn.net.id sekitar 350 ms, http://sealindo.com sekitar 200 ms, http://www.ragnarok.co.id stabil di 88 ms.
.
Tentu saja ini tergantung pada berbagai faktor - seperti signal strength di lokasi anda, tapi mudah2an bisa memberikan sedikit gambaran.

Sierra aircard 880 ini belum ada yg versi usb ya?
May 25th, 2008 22:38
wah cepet sekali:)

@Azmee - ada, tapi harganya lebih mahal sekitar Rp 500.000 daripada yang versi PCMCIA ini.
.
Saya jadi penasaran, nanti mau coba pakai converter PCMCIA — USB, syukur2 bisa
.
@wildan - di dalam ruangan (sinyal tidak full), bisa dapat speed download sekitar 800 Kbps. Lumayan juga

@Azmee - eh maaf, yang 875 yang sudah ada versi USB.
.
Kalau yang 880 saya belum lihat.

3.5 G wow….that’s something. I’m using a CDMA aircard in my country which can make only 256k…

Settingan di Ubuntu gimana om?
May 31st, 2008 20:32
@Audi - tidak ada yang perlu disetting sih, begitu di tancap dia langsung muncul sebagai /dev/ttyUSB0
.
Lalu tinggal setting sebagai modem (di port /dev/ttyUSB0) di Network Manager.
.
Moga membantu.

Wuih gampang banget. Tinggal nunggu CD Hardy dan beli modemnya nih.
Thanx om.

I have the ATT 881U Aircard and just booted Hardy live CD and yet to figure out how to set it up, other than looking through all the manual patch stuff on the Sierra Wireless web site.
So how do I set it up? ATT does not provide password for GPRS account. On the MAC I did not have to know the password, but it appears to have been entered during driver install on the MAC.
Thanks,

Hi Keith, you definitely need the password. Perhaps ATT customer service can help you with that.
.
I got similar problem, I entered the wrong username. 880 won’t connect, what ever hack I implemented.
Once I realized my mistake (I just missed a single period!), it works flawlessly.
.
Once you got the password, you set it up as if it’s a modem, port /dev/ttyUSB0, that’s it.
.
Hope it helps.

@Rosyidi - pakai HP kita sendiri saja
kalau HP nya sudah mendukung HSDPA, bisa langsung konek.
.
Dan biasanya HP zaman sekarang juga bisa menjadi modem untuk komputer/laptop kita.
.
Jadi tidak perlu lagi membeli modem khusus.
.
Atau jika speed 384 Kbps (GPRS / Egde) sudah mencukupi, ini lebih banyak lagi HP yang sudah bisa.
.
Saya perlu membeli Sierra AirCard ini karena kadang saya perlu kecepatan akses yang sangat tinggi (lebih dari 500 Kbps).
Jadi jelas perlu akses HSDPA (bukan sekedar GPRS). Sedangkan HP saya saat ini belum mendukung HSDPA.
