Hi, its really odd because on the Ubuntu forums it says that it is easy
to install the dongle as Intrepid recognises the software, but it wont,
I even tried to install it through Wine, but it wouldnt even do that.
It wasnt the dongle either because we tried two of them. It seems to
block the software. I'm hoping I can get this to work, as it seems like
a good option. Safer than using the wireless in the street or shops.

I wanted to try get Orange Wireless on here, as I have Orange with my
mobile. I went into the shop, and they allowed me to try installing the
dongle with one of their SIM cards, and the dongle.
Well, I was in there for about an hour, and it just wasnt having it. It
would install the drivers, it kept on saying it couldnt find them, and
it couldnt find the dongle either, even though, when I looked could see
the files for the dongle. I even searched on the net, and found a few
places that tried to explain how to install, and with the guy in there,
we tried, but still we couldnt install the drivers.
Has anybody any experience with these dongles, I would really like to
get one.
Thank you
John.
