Jolicloud was designed for 3G from the ground up, but it has been a real challenge to get all the 3G keys to work out-of-the-box. Until now, the latest generation of keys that also include internal memory could not be detected as modems in Jolicloud. After a lot of hard work our team solved the problem for a large number of them. All the keys we collected internally have now successfully passed the test.
When you plug your 3G key, wait until it’s detected as a modem: it will appear on the list of available networks. A wizard will then guide you to configure the connection.
The new network manager detects a 3G key
Dozens of new models will now work, on top of the ones that are already supported. Check out the full list of supported models, and please do send us feedback so we can fully evaluate the progress we’ve made.
The new network manager displays available 3G, WiFi and VPN networks
As some of you asked for it, we are happy to provide VPN access to connect to enterprise networks. Supported networks include the most popular VPN clients: Cisco OpenConnect, Cisco Concentrator VPN, Microsoft VPN, and OpenVPN.
We are not yet fully satisfied with the current gnomenetwork manager, but we will keep on improving it to offer the best experience; In the mean time, your feedback is very welcome!
To get this latest update, simply click on “Update All” and restart your computer.
Thanks to this, Jolicloud can now be my primary netbook os all the time!
