I bought a 3 EazyInternet mobile broadband modem and subscription this week, thinking it would be sweet with 7,2Mbit on the go. And it works fine, cool thing having on my mac. But, alas, when installing it, the installer disabled my Airport WLAN and wired Ethernet interfaces, so currently I’m locked to using *ONLY* 3 network, which is *REALLY* slow compared to the wired network at work and the WLAN at home.
Get it here
You likely just need to re-enable the ports in the Network pane of System Preferences.
What it should have done was created another location for you – accessible through the Apple menu. So you can switch easily between them.
Drop me an email if this is still a pain point.
Hi MJ, and thanks for the advice. It created another location, but the automatic location was changed to 3 every time I tried re-enabling them. Removing the ports and adding them didn’t help either. So I ended up removing the contents of /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and a quick reboot later, I had my network back. Now I’ll give the 3 modem a re-install and see if I can be lucky enough to have both.
Cheers
Nik
So far so good, I reinstalled the software, and when I hit “Connect” it disabled the WLAN and LAN NICs, but when hitting “Disconnect”, it actually re-enabled the devices. Much better!
Hope it lasts.
