What is the name of the stick you're planning to use?

In intrepid I successfully use a huawei E169. It is recognized and easily set 
up in kneworkmanager (or networkmanager applet in gnome) as new connection -> 
Broad Band. 

You may also use utmsmon in Hardy. Also wvdial, of course, works.

3 works here (Italy). I'm using a different provider, but people say it works 
fine.
