[ubuntu-uk] Installing Orange wireless dongle on Ubuntu 8.10

[John]

I wanted to try get Orange Wireless on here, as I have Orange with my 
mobile. I went into the shop, and they allowed me to try installing the 
dongle with one of their SIM cards, and the dongle.

Well, I was in there for about an hour, and it just wasnt having it. It 
would install the drivers, it kept on saying it couldnt find them, and 
it couldnt find the dongle either, even though, when I looked could see 
the files for the dongle. I even searched on the net, and found a few 
places that tried to explain how to install, and with the guy in there, 
we tried, but still we couldnt install the drivers.

Has anybody any experience with these dongles, I would really like to 
get one.

Thank you

John.
