Most dongles should work with it anyway. From my very limited experience the huawei ones work right out of the box, it is just a question of changing a setting so that it connects via the dongle and doesnt look for wifi(or just turn off wifi and that should work). In worst case scenario if it doesnt work for some reason then most shops (o2,vodafone etc) will refund you the cost if it doesnt work. Since the kernel 3.0.27 update (latest i think) there is now support for even more devices. ps this is the dongle that i have used-- huawei k3770. The following guide should help if you do encounter any problems <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://digitalgotcha.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/get-vodafone-3g-dongle-huawei-k3770.html" target="_blank">http://digitalgotcha.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/get-vodafone-3g-dongle-huawei-k3770.html</a> hope this helped <div class="gmail_quote"> On 2 August 2012 16:14, Adam Funk <<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:a24061@ducksburg.com" target="_blank">a24061@ducksburg.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Just wondering if anyone would like to recommend any particular USB dongle internet hardware/services in the UK?
