Making Vodafone K3800 dongle on Mac OSx Mavericks

Hey,
I just updated the MacBook Pro to OSx Mavericks.
i use Vodafone K3800 stick.
Before the update the dongle was working fine, but after the update of course, it stopped working.
I thought I need to update the Vodafone Mobile Broadband (VMB) software, then it should work.
But unfortunately, it was not that straight forward.
I went to Vodafone support web site and downloaded and installed all the possible versions of VMB from 4.0.7 to 4.0.9. (of course restarted the mac many times).
I was assuming, installing one of these should do. But nothing worked.

But after trial and error, got a way to make it work.

1. Install VMB 4.0.9.17, which is supposed to be the latest version.
2. Install Vodafone K3800 software, which is there in the stick itself.
That's it.
Then the Vodafone K3800 stick will work properly.

Both the softwares need to be installed. Only one of them will never work.

Happy Surfing.

  1. Yes, I am sure, Vodafone provides a lot of good value added services. The post was written long back. I do not think the problem exists now.
