I have a Virgin Mobile 3G dongle (HUAWEI E160) and I use it with my netbook running Ubuntu 9.10.They should know! Now that Ubuntu is so popular. You could bring a laptop in and just try it out if you have any doubts.

Had to build all and install all the HSO drivers and support stuff myself, but eventually got things to the point where I could get an internet connection. Unfortunately I want this to run headless, but the HSO manager app requires X and I had some other issues with the interaction between dbus and X as well. (I believe) I've eventually circumvented this by running the HSO manager connected to Xvfb and using a command line app to get it to start and stop the internet connection (via dbus) as required. Somewhat clunky, but far easier than hacking the python code to remove all the GUI stuff without breaking anything else. JamesWe are still talking about 3G dongles, aren't we? You shouldn't need to use *any* GUI things - once you have it registering as a USB-attached serial port you can use things like wvdial to handle the rest. What's the HSO Manager app for? Grant.They guy in the vodafone shop in torquay was unsure if they even work with linux or ubuntu. the guy in the shop in paignton was even more vague, so it seems as the are now more supported (which i am sure this is what rob told me), it may be worth looking in to a bit more. perhaps someone should go in and demo it working, and show them it works, so if people ask they can give accurate information, paul - -- Paul Sutton www.zleap.net Ubuntu 9.10 is out : Visit www.ubuntu.com for details DCGLUG MEETINGS - Details on www.dcglug.org.uk/drupal6, - please click on Group meetings link on right hand side Aged 11 - 19 then dfey may be for you, please goto http://www.dfey.org for more details -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkt0lpAACgkQaggq1k2FJq2t4gCcDdSWhvv6UrpRtnUrppWVQrLY cpQAn29gBJiIMpCU1jyr80G7hpm4MdPy =CPeN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon& Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
All I have to do is plug it in to the USB port and it picks up and connects automatically. No additional setup is required.
