Huawei USB Dongles Work Out-of-the-Box on Ubuntu 9.10
November 24, 2009
The latest release of Ubuntu, Karmic Koala has been nothing short of impressive. Aside from its fast booting and optimized performance, it also now works with more hardware by default, namely, the Huawei USB dongles that Zain, Wataniya and Viva provide. It used to be a hassle to search and tweak drivers, but not anymore! Take a look at the screenshots to see how easy it is to get running:
Note: Sometimes the profile won’t provide a DNS address. To fix this, just modify the connection and select your favorite provider, or use OpenDNS.

Thats fantastic, but I’m curious where you can purchase the Huawei Dongle without any branding to work with any of the networks automatically..hmmm

Well if you buy one from a provider, you can use it on another provider given that you have their SIM card.

Sorry to hear that. The best place for Ubuntu support is at the Ubuntu forums. Many corporations don’t know (or aren’t trained/certified for) Linux systems.
