Hi,
just got T-mobile mobile broadband – is appallingly SLOW! A recieverate at averagely 35 kBps is ri-di-cu-lous!! – Takes me minutes to log into my gmail account (say – 10 min the first time!)
NOR recommendable (maybe because I am on a Mac??)

Bg thanks for that, Alan, I know a lot of people have asked about mobile broadband on Linux, so you’ve probably just given them the easiest solution possible!

Big kudos and good karma from us.

Just tried T-Mobile mobile broadband with eee PC 901, running Linux. just click network in the internet tab, then choose create, GSM/3G(UMTS)/HSDPA, then choose t-mobile, and press next a couple of times. Simple as that, works great. Just one problem- I haven’t yet found a way to send SMS messages, not a big deal for me though.

Like Laura I’m on the eeeeee trail! Was in a Vodaphone shop at lunchtime today and the guy said they are supposedly “working on” getting linux supported because so many people are asking. No timescales tho.

Well, at the minute, none of the networks’ USB Modems work with Linux PC’s, and to be honest, we’ve not been given a date when they will.

However, I’ve gone on record myself, to say that whoever’s the first gang to release one that works ith Linux PC’s, like the Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (as I call it), is going to make a FORTUNE!

Keep your eye out, though, as soon as we know more, we’ll be getting it on-site!

I’d apprecite any other information you have about Linux because I am thinking about buying an eee which works on Linux, and it would be wonderful if some kind of mobile broadband worked with it. Vodaphone said “no” and said noone else’s did either, but???

To be honest, I’m not sure with Linux. OFFICIALLY, you’re looking at Windows or Mac.

And cross my heart, we get 4-5 bars on T Mobile round here!

So this would work on Linux? As long as the pc has a USB hole, obviously.

You almost had me believing the post until I read the bit about getting a 3G signal on T-Moible outside of Kings Cross.
