"UMTSmon is a tool to control and monitor a wireless mobile network card (GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, UMTS, HSDPA) in a laptop running the Linux operating system. It handles PIN codes, operator choice (roaming), signal strength and network statistics, sending/receiving SMS. "

Thanks for your report. I've edited it into a needs-packaging bug, so that packagers can pick it up and work on it. In the future, please file bugs similar to this one in Ubuntu (with no source package) to request new packages. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages can help further.

Is anyone actually working on this? Seems that at present there is not proper support for UMTS in Ubuntu at all.

[oss_test_launchpad (oss-test-launchpad)]

For UMTS cards, I mean.

[Anders Kvist (akv)]

A vote on UMTSmon from me too.

But i think there are ok support for the cards. I have been using both a Huawei E220 and a Dell Wireless 5520 (internal)

[oss_test_launchpad (oss-test-launchpad)]

Anyone still working on this? This is being discussed at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/10275/, too.

It would be nice if we got any answer. We could live with the information that there will never be proper UMTS support in Ubuntu, but waiting forever and getting no answer is crap.

[Håkon Emil Olsen (hemilo)]

UMTS Support is in Networkmanager 7.0 it is supported in Other distros like Opensuse 11 Fedora 9. When wil this things work in Ubuntu 8.10????!!

[oss_test_launchpad (oss-test-launchpad)]

[Håkon Emil Olsen (hemilo)]

FYI it has been packaged for Debian
http://people.debian.org/~winnie/umtsmon/

[oss_test_launchpad (oss-test-launchpad)]

@ Håkon Emil Olsen: Don't quite understand your answer. Is the signal strength feature something that will be part of a future version of networkmanager?

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Removing synaptic package as this is a packaging request.

[Gernot Hillier (gernot-hillier)]

I'd also love to see this packaged. Network Manager has some issues when it comes to Mobilcom Debitel surf sticks and it's also not capable of showing signal strength...

[maxstirner (philipp-d)]

Are there any alternatives for showing signal strength on ubuntu?

[Georg Sauthoff (g-sauthoff)]

Please advise how to display signal strength and usage of which network GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA etc. without umtsmon under Ubuntu 9.10.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]
