This guide will explain how to get an Orange Icon 255 wireless internet modem working. This guide has been translated/copied from this blog post, and my French isn't particularly good. So feel free to update it if any of the crucial points are wrong. This guide will work on any such modem, regardless of the branding--as long as the hardware is the same.

Getting the script

The modem doesn't need a driver as such, but a script. This can be downloaded from the original author's site, with the following command:

wget http://www.equinoxefr.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/icon225.tgz

Unpack the archive with the following command:

tar xvf icon255.tgz

This will produce a folder named hso/. To enter it, use cd hso/. It contains a number of files. First, run install.sh with sudo ./install.sh - this will install various packages and services required to use the script. Second, edit conninfo.ini with your information. You can use gedit, nano, vim... whatever for this.

APN=orange
PIN=0000

APN is your provider. I'm not sure how this works for different providers, but if you have the Icon 255, leave it. Change PIN to your pin number. Save the file. Finally, to connect, use:

sudo ./connect.sh up

To disconnect again, use the following:

sudo ./connect.sh down
