As at today the MF626 T-Stick drivers for Mac are 32bit so when you plug one into a Lion Mac the Telecom Connection Manager starts but doesn’t detect the device.
The solution is install updated 64bit drivers. It took me a few goes so there are probably some redundant steps here but this is how I got it working – it should work for the other T-Stick models too:
- Remove T-Stick
- Uninstall Telecom Connection Manager (if installed)
- Download the Telstra Mobile Broadband Manger from http://www.telstra.com.au/bigpond-internet/download/document/bigpond-connection-manager-mac.dmg
- Double-click to open the dmg file
- Right click the Telstra Pre-Paid Wireless Broadband package and select Show Package Contents
- Browse to the Contents/Resources folder
- Double-click the DatacardDriver.mpg package and install it
- Download the latest Telecom Connection Manager 32bit Mac package from http://www.zte.co.nz/main/Product_Downloads/MF626_downloads.htm
- Install the Telecom Connection Manager
- Reboot
After doing this when you plug in the T-Stick the Telecom Connect Manager should start and find the T-Stick.
Thanks for the advice about the T-Stick, really appreciated the help I was a bit stuck!
Thanks, great instructions, worked a treat.
Thanks works perfectly
Wonderful – great help thank you. Certainly beats starting Win 7 within Parallels to have it work ok!!
This might sound really pathetic, but how do I right click on a Mac? I can’t get to the page to Show Package Contents…
I do a two finger tap on the trackpad I think. Sorry without Mac for a few days. I’ll confirm when I get back.
Thanks for the reminder. Working now, thank you!
