    Well, there are many ways to skin a cat, yes.

    Your easiest solution is probably to use an Ubuntu Intrepid Beta. It supports 3G modems out of the box via Network Manager.

    Otherwise, take a look at the vodafone "driver": https://forge.betavine.net/projects/vodafonemobilec/

    Thanks for the reply but I have tried that and also gives me an error I need an Internet connection to get it to work and that is what I am trying to get it to work and I do not have another internet connection.

    I know its a little late but you can get it up through pppconfig. its a bit of a mission at first but let me know if you need it and i will see if i can right up a quick how to guide.

    well, this conversation is a bit moot by now. intrepid ibex supports 3G in full using network-manager. just plug it in, fill in a couple of questions in the wizard (i think it only asks for your country and service provider), and away you go.

    i think they did a bang up job implementing 3G support in ubuntu and really dont think that any of the alternative methods mentioned are worth trying. i wouldn't even recommend the instructions that i posted on my blog (FreeMinds).

    Agreed 100%... There is just one thing though that would be awsome, and i really wish i could develop that. Is the ability to see and send SMS on the sim but i am sure in time that will come along as nicley as the 3G support did.
