I don't think that there is any need for ebay to get involved at this stage. The device is recognised, it is showing up as a device. Do you get the network manager wizard when you plug in the device? If not try this: Right click on the network manager applet Select the mobile broadband tab Click add Click forward Select vodafone from the list of providers Click forward Give it a name - the default vodafone should be fine Click Apply (Left) Click on the network manager applet Select vodafone from the list Point your browser to google.com.au Be impressed that it loaded Go to http://www.internationalbeershop.com.au and order some beer for the network manager developers :) (Note: the Around the World in Twenty Beers Pack is really good). Send an email to the list telling everyone how easy it was Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
