Who uses Chinese crap? I threw my Huawei made 3G mobile into the lake in 
Windows of the World while I was on a paddle boat there. Good riddance.

Who needs 7.2mbit wireless broadband anyway when you can get 100mbit 
wired broadband at one quarter the rate for wireless?

Psst! Install Jaunty. You know, I have not even upgraded to Karmic for

Sorry, I don't have much to contribute but you can post your problems 
all you like, it won't get fixed or even looked at unless you file a bug 
report. At least that is the impression I get with all the 'file a 
report if you have a problem' posts I see...
