Andrew / Rob >>> Just to confirm, and add some details: The Hauwei modems are detected correctly since Jaunty, and Network Manager as full support for Mobile Broadband. The modems appear on the drop down list when you click the applet in the top panel and you just click connect. You will have to set up some info (see below)the first time you use the3 modem, after which it is just two clicks to connect and disconnect. The set up screens are reached by a right click on the applet -> Edit Connections -> Mobile Broadband tab Enter the following as the Vodafone details: Number: *99# Username: wap Password: wap APN: pp.internet To top up without Windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * put the SIM into a normal unlocked phone * Dial *#100# to find out its PSTN number * On the Vodafone web site, enter this number in 'my account' 'register PAYG' * Wait for the text message to arrive containing security code * Enter this into web site (you have 20 minutes) * Put the SIM back in the dongle Incidentally, while the SIM is in the phone, you can also check credit using *#1345# - the web site shows the same amount. mac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
