[ubuntu-za] Vodacom E220 USB modem and Ubuntu Feisty 2.6.20-15-generic

[CM Schoonbee]

I got it working the first week-end after my initial plea for help! 
Thank you very much again to Stephan and Jason.It was really quite easy 
with your advice.

I intend to write up a short how-to on the wiki for any future 
users/noobs with the same concerns that I had.  However there were a 
couple of funnies that I want to explore further before doing so - 
having to  rmmod option twice under some conditions and some warnings 
from wvdial.
