Please help me ask a question on the Ubuntu site

[David Fawcett]

Hello Abramo!
I wish I had a solution to your problem but I don't know how to install a
Telstra USB wireless modem on Ubuntu, and I've tested creating a new thread
at

Can I suggest another popular way of getting support is to use IRC?
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/chatirc

Another is here: http://ubuntuforums.org

<http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/chatirc>And please don't worry
about being verbose. More information is almost always preferable to less
information.

On a side note I'm very pleased to hear that you are still trying to stick
with Ubuntu even though you have had these problems getting support.

I wish you the best of luck.

- Dave

PS: It's a different model but perhaps this thread will get you started?
