Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm getting an Eee PC 901 which should be delivered tomorrow and I plan<br>
to install ubuntu-eee on it as soon as it arrives.<br>
<br>
Have any of you guys managed to get a Mobile Broadband USB modem such as<br>
Vodafones's [1] set up on an Eee PC and if so how?<br>
</blockquote></div><br></div>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 <a href="http://www.greenhughes.com/content/huawei-e169g-easy-way" target="_blank">http://www.greenhughes.com/content/huawei-e169g-easy-way</a><br>
<br>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)<br>
<br>I am sure you will be fine with whatever modem you get.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Colin<br>
