I've got a Vodafone 3G (Merlin) card through work and it works nicely -- a
bit fiddly to setup, perhaps, but doable. A client I've been at has the
"other model" of Vodafone 3G card and it works in Ubuntu Dapper, but not
earlier versions -- so you'll need a pretty new kernel if you get lumped
with that card.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Because I actually live in
Newcastle - but travel to the capitals enough of the time to warrant
mobile coverage - probably the Vodafone service makes most sense as I
can fallback to GPRS when at home. I also didn't realise the iBurst
coverage was sketchy - does anyone else have experiences with that,
particularly in the CBD areas of Sydney and Brisbane? As for Vodafone,
is there any chance of posting some notes on installing it, and was the
card detailed at http://store.vodafone.com.au/mobile_detail.cfm?mobID=18
the one that worked with Dapper?
Cheers
Ben
