    It seems to depend on which chipset is in your 3 mobile dongle.

    I have one that has a Huawei chipset with the part number MF627 and with Ubuntu 10.04 it just works. No extra drivers needed. Plug it in and the network wizard starts - just tell it your provider is 3 and you're pretty much there.
