Hi there,
I dream of a future where like in the Star Trek (c) franchise all things work seamlessly together and there's an universal translator, until then I will make do with getting my Three (c) E220 HSPDA modem working under Linux (various formats).
I am just (yes just) a user who does not get the command lines, terminals or even konsoles way of doing things (REM I didn't ever see a XZ Spectrum - see what I mean?). After the trials of getting Linux to load (not a real chore) and finding this didn't work and that didn't work (out of the box) I find that I have a working system that does mostly all I need.
The internet on a cable broadband modem works now, may I add casting my mind back Two years ago my graphics card driver (well a proper display) was not loaded or the cable modem or streaming radio from some websites, thankfully things have moved on.
What I find and yes what can you expect for free is, it's always a catch up game, by the time the drivers or applications have become available quite frankly the hardware is either a second thought on an old machine or been upgraded to a newer device. Yes this may seem unfair but once you have given up on day 1,2,3 or day 7 you generally don't revisit the problem and slink back to the Windows platform.
In short can we read an article/masterclass on installing an E220 modem on the latest Linux distros, maybe the top five most popular.
Just a thought.
Regards ALL.

Always remember that Google is your friend in situations such as this.
This device has enjoyed native Linux support from kernel 2.6.20
Workarounds for some older distros can be easily found online.
