In order to operate the ZTE K3565-Z under OS X 10.5 or 10.6 you need to set the
\nnetwork preference settings yourself. The Software defaults are wrong and will not work.
\nVodafone phone support refers to debitel for this product. Debitel charges $1.55 a minute for support.
\nThe bigger problem is that they don’t support OS X. They just say that they don’t know anything about it.<\/p>\n
In the end things got working with these settings collected from the Internet and applied with a bit of luck:<\/p>\n
When you insert the USB stick you get a volume with Under 10.6 I got lots of messages about extensions not being working \/ being compatible. Both after the install and after the reboot this POS installer felt it needed.<\/p>\n should launch after the install. It fails the first time under OS X 10.6, complaining that it can not find a the stick. Just start it again.<\/p>\n The Vodafone Mobile Connect junk-app is good for one thing only: it lets you enter the PIN of the stick. The “Activate” \/ “Aktivieren” button is actually plain evil: Since we are talking crapware here the Network control panels gets populated with three devices for the ZTE stick. You can ignore \/ remove the ones ending in ATPort and DiagPort. In order to make the ‘Connect’ \/ ‘Verbinden’ button sing for you have to change settings under ‘Advanced …’ \/ ‘Weitere Optionen …’. ‘vendor’ \/ ‘Hersteller’ the setting ‘Generic’ \/ ‘Allgemein’<\/p>\n then for the<\/p>\n model pick “GPRS (GSM\/3) ”<\/p>\n for the<\/p>\n APN: event.vodafone.de<\/p>\n just like your Grandma always told you. Make sure to hit “Apply” \/ “Aendern” before you try to connect. If you “activate” the card with the mobile connect crapware then your settings will be overwritten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In order to operate the ZTE K3565-Z under OS X 10.5 or 10.6 you need to set the network preference settings yourself.
