    Re: Ubuntu Shamed by Webbook

    totally agree, which is why I presumed just sticking them out there on the stands would be sufficient.

    Re: Ubuntu Shamed by Webbook

    yes, it uses the hso driver. The first ones use the pharscape dialer, the later ones use a new dialer that calls either the hso module or wvdial for the huawei and novatel models.

    can you view other flash based websites? installing flashplugin-nonfree should be sufficient for YouTube I think. Try http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies and find a cute little flash game or something....
