I was pleasantly surprised the other day when i plugged a Huawei 3G wireless dongle into my Ubuntu 9.04 laptop and it just worked - i didn't have to do anything at all, except click on the network in NetworkManager. I think the dongle i tried was the e220, but i believe other Huawei dongles work too. In general, i find it best to avoid having anything to do with Telstra - and i'd never consider getting hardware from them unless it was absolutely unavoidable. -- http://NovemberEchoRomeoDelta.com
