Hi Adam,
I have used an android smartphone as a wifi hotspot with no problems with
ubuntu (from 10.04). Most dongles should work with it anyway. From my very
limited experience the huawei ones work right out of the box, it is just a

I also had a period from 10.04 alpha2 of dark days with my 3g dongle, it
works fine now :)
I think the best advice has already been given. Take the laptop into the
shop say that if it works, you'll consider buying it. As also mentioned,
yup - when I do new installs the system recognises it as
