Thank you.

I've looked high and low and can't seem to find any on amazon. I am finding the AP121 model not the AP121U model. I also tried to search for the Hornet-UB. They seem to have the best price and everyone is linking to them. Thanks

Thanks Sebkinne, I canceled my order and was refunded. Do you know of any other online retailer that sells the open source Alfa AP121U? I already have one from the HakShp but now I want to build one as a gift to my friend.

Hey guys, I just bought a Alfa AP121U from eBay and realized it doesn't have a usb port in the listing or the pictures. Is this a new model or am I crazy? http://www.ebay.com/itm/310520124058?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 How does this effect me? Can I still use this model?

Headros its works! I pasted the into both 0150 and 0151 saved it and rebooted multiple times and it always connected at boot. Thanks so much!

With the script I have running now it connects 50% of the time. I'm not sure what you mean about adding a 1fac:0150 config file to the directory. Do I SSH and edit a file or something?

I keep getting this error. 00:02:23 Pineapple syslog.notice usb_modeswitch: switching device 1fac:0151 on 001/004 00:02:23 Pineapple kern.warn kernel: [ 143.670000] usb 1-1.2: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usbserial_generic while 'usb_modeswitch' sets config #2 00:02:23 Pineapple kern.warn kernel: [ 143.660000] usb 1-1.2: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usbserial_generic while 'usb_modeswitch' sets config #2 00:02:23 Pineapple kern.warn kernel: [ 143.650000] usb 1-1.2: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usbserial_generic while 'usb_modeswitch' sets config #2 00:02:23 Pineapple kern.warn kernel: [ 143.640000] usb 1-1.2: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usbserial_generic while 'usb_modeswitch' sets config #2 00:02:23 Pineapple kern.warn kernel: [ 143.630000] usb 1-1.2: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usbserial_generic while 'usb_modeswitch' sets config #2 00:02:22 Pineapple user.notice usb-modeswitch: 1-1.2:1.0: Switching seemingly failed

how did you find the APN, username, and password? I also have the U600 from Virgin Mobile and I've fussing with it since three weeks. Good luck headros, I hope we both can make this work.

Please, someone help me.

Hey guys I have with me a Virgin Mobile U600 I am trying to make it work with the Pineapple but like most things in life, I am lost. So from the long list of modems on the 3G page I found: ######################################################### Franklin Wireless U600DefaultVendor= 0x1facDefaultProduct=0x0150TargetVendor= 0x1facTargetProduct= 0x0151MessageContent="555342431234567824000000800108df200000000000000000000000000000" How should I write this in?

I love dx.com! I have spent thousands of dollars over the past years ordering things I don't need. :) I don't bother with defective items like madhak said but I do a live chat to talk with them. So far they just refund me all my money. Most recent purchase from them for my pineapple was: Dual USB 2.0 Male Ports to 3 USB Female + 1 Mini USB Ports Charging/Data Hub - Black

I was just about to ask the same question. Thanks guys.

They have unlimited 4G data but capped 3G data. That doesn't make any sence to me. I wonder if the U600 works with the Pineapple...

I have some more pictures of the Huawei UMG1691. http://imgur.com/a/yKYZI -- Pimminit

Hi All, I can't seem to find any information on this 3G modem (huawei umg1691). I was given three on them for free while my Pineapple is in the mail. :( Anyone have an idea if this will work out of the box just like any generic modem? On a side note, I was thinking about using T-Mobile Monthly 4G plan. For $30 a month I can have 100 minutes/unlimited text/unlimited data. -- Pimmpinit

Hey thanks Arsenic! I wonder are they still around? I googled them but no luck.

is there any way i can scripted in a line that asked you if your sure? something like a yes or no question.

thanks! you saved me! well i should have said what i'm using this for. i live at a bording school and they do computer check while i'm not in the room so i wanted to make a quick cmd script for my roomate to click to delete certain files i dont want to school getting. do you remember the show i'm talking about? its really killing me. i think it might be hak.5 but i cant find the segment in the show notes, and i know it wasn't the broken or system or diggnation.

ok a while back i remember watching a video of some online tech show just like hak.5. i watched an episode where someone wrote up a cmd script that automaticaly deleted your mp3's off the computer. it was around the time the riaa was busting down people, so i guess they thought it was funny to write this scipt and put it on its site in the show notes. i just really need the name of the show or the site or even a script.
