Dave, Plug the modem in, and type this in a terminal:
dmesg | tail -n 20
If the modem is recognized, it will show up there. If it is there,
then check that NetworkManager is running, and an applet is by the
clock.
If there, click on it, and you should see a entry for 3G Network, with
ttyUSBx (x being a port number) listed.
If there, then click on the entry, and see if it will connect. Also,
if more than one entry is listed, click on the lowest numbered one.
If no entry, then it means that NetworkManager did not recognize it,
and you will have to use wvdial.
Try doing these steps, before trying to install additional drivers, as
the kernel drivers are updated all the time. and the old information may
be out of date. The only reason I installed a new driver, was that the
in-kernel driver would try to mount my laptop-connect card as a cdrom
drive (it's default setting, for installing drivers in Windows).
I know that this is vague, but without more detailed information it's
the best I can do.
