Sierra Wireless Aircard 881u trouble

[danuntu]

About a year ago, bradc wrote the following:

I have just installed kubuntu and followed online instructions for my deaat&t 881u aircard from sierra wireless. Filled in everything in kppp as instructed and connected. It shows connected but nothing will work. Konqerer won't connect, adept shows nothing but what is already installed and can't see repositories. Is there some other thing I need to set so everything can see my connection? I installed with wubi if it matters. Thanks for any help

Has anyone yet found a real solution for this? I am desperate for help on this. I have tried several different linux distros, used kppp, knetworkmanager, chestnut dialer, among other things. I can get a connection through kppp knetworkmanger and chestnut, but cannot get on internet. Why, it's got to be something simple and stupid.

Can anyone help

Thanks in advance,
