Works with Ubuntu 12.04 64bit Server after modifying modeswitch rules for minor device ID. Getting consistent download speeds of 400 kilo bytes / second. Upload speed test with wput is showing only 26 kilo bytes / second. But I suspect it is higher with other apps. Will post after checking this. Any better way of testing upload speeds from the command line?
