    Might be worth asking on the ubuntu forums

    Was hoping I wouldn't have to sign up to another forum to ask, but thanks for the link - I'll use it if there is no response on here.

    My E160 works on it out of the box :)
    They are £20 full price from o2 shops, or less if you shop about :)

    Think the majority of 3G dongles work in Ubnutu.

    This article suggests that anything based on a Huawei E160, E220 or E270 chipset will work Ok.

    Son No 1 had a problem with a Vodafone dongle with Karmic but now uses a 3G PAYG without issue.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com
