Hi Rykel,

I have resolved the issue regarding the 3G USB dongle. I forgot to CC it
to the mailing list. Here's the solution:

Hi Wilson,

1. Have you tried copying the command and pasting it onto the Terminal?
If possible try not to type out the command, just highlight the whole
command and in Terminal press the following button combination to paste
(Ctrl + Shift + V)
2.  It is zerocd"' = zerocd + double qoute + single qoute
3. The symbol | is on the button \ remember to press (Shift + \)

If the above still too troublesome for you, then copy the attachment and
place it in the folder /etc/udev/rules.d/
Make sure you have root access to copy into the folder.

Once you have done the above in the Terminal, plug in the dongle. Ubuntu
should be able to detect the device and then will prompt you to enter
some information regarding the Internet connection such as carrier
(Starhub, Singtel, M1) and type of plan (Postpaid, Prepaid).

Please keep me posted so I know whether it works for you. Thanks!
