Hi Josh, I have a eeePC 701 running the default Xandros OS and got my
'Three' 3G Huawei e169g USB broadboand dongle working fine after following
this site http://www.greenhughes.com/content/huawei-e169g-easy-way

I also have Ubuntu 8.10 running on my laptop and the 'Three' 3G Huawei e169g
USB broadboand dongle just worked. It fact it worked quicker and easier than
in XP. (XP requires a reboot after installing software)

I am sure you will be fine with whatever modem you get.

Colin
