E160 constantly disconnecting

Yesterday I had to use my E160 UMTS stick on my windows PC at home, because my normal internet connection went down. The E160 works quite well and I have a pretty strong signal at home, so no problem there. Web browsing and teamspeak was fine, but World of Warcraft kept disconnecting every few seconds.
After a bit of research it turned out, that my E160 probably has a faulty firmware installed. Updating the firmware to 11.604.21.00.156.B409 should fix the problem.
For some reason Huawei doesn't provide this update on their homepage, so it took me quite a while to find it. I finally got it from drei.at. I have a different service provider, but the update works nevertheless. It only updates the firmware and keeps the Mobile Partner software intact.
I haven't played World of Warcraft after I updated the firmware, but everything seems fine. In fact I'm writing this post while using my E160.
To make a long story short: Here is the download link for the firmware update if you happen to be in the same situation as me.

Songbird 1.0.0 deb
Wednesday, 3. December 2008 16:54 - daniel - Other - 1 Comment
I found a deb file that works on my ubuntu 8.04 box. Unter Hund provides debs for songbird 1.0rc1 through 1.0 final.
Unfortunately he hosts the deb for Songbird 1.0 on a one-click-hosting site. If some one want to grab this deb too, you can get it now from my mirror too.
Most noticeable change from songbird 0.7.0 to 1.0.0 is the improved startup speed. Very nice.
Songbird 1.0.0

Today songbird 1.0.0 has benn released. This is the first final version of songbird. Songbird is a music player based on xulrunner (from mozilla, also powers firefox), gstreamer for playback and sqlite as database backend for the music library. It's free as in freedom and runs on windows, linux, mac os x and even opensolaris.
I've been using it for a while now (since version 0.6.0), and it is a really good music player. Unfortunately it the tarball release won't run on my ubuntu pc. Maybe building it from source will help, but I havn't tried that yet.
