Comment on Getting O2 Mobile Broadband (HUAWEI E160 adapter) to work in Windows 7 by Ed

Paul, thanks for this, but your standard fix didn’t work for me. James, your additional step worked a treat. Thanks very much. Worked for me in 32 bit Win 7.

Took me a while to figure it out though. I did the following:

Right click on USB Root Hub and select “update driver software”. Then click “browse my computer for driver software”. Then click “let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”. Untick “show compatible hardware”. Select “standard usb host controller” from the left list, then “USB composite device” from the right list. Click next and go through the warnings, and the modem should install.

Good one! It worked…I was going crazy with the LyX and MikTeX configuration for a new class! Thanks

James, thanks for the tip about changing it from “USB Mass Storage Device” to “USB Composite Device”! That did the trick for me (on Win 7 64bit)

ahhhh, can you give me a hand with mpc? i tried switching the ac3 encoder as shown in your image there, it went silent, then after shutting down mpc, the ac3 encoder dissapeared from the filters menu and i’m stuck with no sound, is there some way to get it back?
thanks

Comment on Creating a Netfilter kernel module which filters UDP packets by prashant kapoor

Hi Paul

Congrats , I think you have the best tutorial explaining netfilter kernel module.

If we make drastic changes to the packet that the packet is not at all recognizable and we want to send the packets back to the pre-routing, do we have to do something special?

Thanks for sharing your technique James, I’ll have to give it a go, and it’ll be good to share for others that stumble upon the blog.

Can I just share that I tried this method and was unsuccessful. In the end I changed the driver for the “USB Mass Storage Device” above the HUAWEI to a “USB Composite Device” manually and as a result all the other necessary components were detected.
