The Vodafone APP is universal now. That's good.
As with the previous version you have to reboot your machine to make WIFI usable again after using a mobile connection. That's very very bad.
I'm sure the guys who made this driver&software package don't use this themselves... It's not Mac worthy all this rebooting... :-(
But, I am able to connect. That's nice...

Hi, I installed the linked drivers, the app works (detects the card correctly and installs the settings). However, when I try to do a connect I simply get a "No carrier" message. Any ideas?
(I've got a standard Huawei e870-based card from Vodafone UK)

Well i'm using this version, how did this site come about it before the vodafone business site?
The jersey site for vodafone has one.
So far (in 2 hrs) I have had a kernal panic and the laptop just simply black out and restart. We shall see....I have 14days before i decide to return the stick to Vodafone...

using macos 10.5.1 + e870 express card modem from vodafone uk + 2.08.05.04 vodofone mobile connect
i'm able to connect. sometimes i have to reboot before the express card is seen by the driver
i have to reboot if i want to use 802.11 wireless after using the modem
no other problems
it's crap, but maybe liveable with, since it's the only game in town as far as i can see

I don't have to restart to use wireless after using the e870 express card. Although I can't have GPRS/EDGE enabled, I have to leave it only on 3g. Because if it steps down to GPRS/EDGE my laptop will normal freeze or kernal panic within minutes. Leaving on 3g and all is fine.

Mas mohon bantun dan pencerahannya:
Saya memiliki modem huawei dengan model E 172 vodafone yang tidak bisa digunakan. Arti atau maksud dari tidak bisa digunakan adalah modem tidak bisa digunakan bila di OS MAC dengan notifikasi ” Please insert your sim card vodafone into the modem vodafone”. Padahal didalam modem telah terpasang sim cardnya dengan produk dari IM2. Serta secara instalasi (pengenalan perangkat –> modem) driver sudah benar. Sebagai informasi tambahan, modem berjalan normal di OS windows dengan tidak ada masalah. Mohon penjelasan dan pencerahanya Mas agar modem saya bisa berjalan norma juga di OS MAC.
Terima kasih atas perhatian dan bantuan sebelumnya

I have a huawei modem with vodafone 172 E model which can not be used. Meaning or purpose can not be used by the modem can not be used when the MAC OS with notifications "Please insert your sim card into the modem vodafone vodafone". Whereas in the modem has been installed with the product from IM2. And the installation (the introduction of devices -> modem) driver is correct. For additional information, the modem was normal in OS windows with no problems. Please explain. so I can walk the norm also in the MAC OS.
Thank you for your attention and assistance before
