The K3520 is a vodafone branded version of the Huawei E169G. I have 2 e169g running - neither currently with ubuntu. I have used this device in the past with my ubuntu laptop. Try the following: * Ditch wvdial - i have never liked it * Download the karmic version of usb-modeswitch from http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/usb-modeswitch * Use gdebi when it pops up to install the deb * open a terminal * run "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart" no quotes * run "exit" no quotes * Unplug your stick and plug it in again * Network manager's HSDPA wizard should popup - i think Good luck Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
