This won't sit in the top but will keep a track of usage and enables SMS 
support: http://wader-project.org/ (We funded a good chunk of this project).

Not the right question. It's the dongle, not the network that usually 
causes the problems. I have an Option 225 3G Dongle which I got with an 
Orange UK contract, this works fine in Jaunty and usually in Karmic.
