I have a Huawei dongle I got on a plan, and there's also a Huawei hardwired
into my EeePC (different model though). Neither have given me any problems
connecting with the previous LTS right through to the current beta for 12.04.
All you have to do is right click on the network connections and set up the
mobile broadband connection. It should automatically find the correct device,
and all you do then is select Australia and the plan type. Once it shows the
connection data, just accept the values as is. Make sure you click the box
connect automatically and you will have a connection made whenever you boot
or resume with 10.04 LTS.
There's a bug in the later network manager releases I'm trying to get
acknowledged, or at least confirmed at the project level:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/880084
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667488
The bug means that from 11.04 onwards, including the current beta, the wireless
internet will _NOT_ connect automatically - you have to enable it each time,
unfortunately.
Chris.
