For those on Linux for whom DataCard does not work. Take the huawei dongle which works directly from power outlet on wall & then use Wifi of your laptop to connect with the world through it. Just a suggestion. I have not used it, but it should work because it works like a standalone wifi router. Whether you put it on your Laptop USB or Wall power outlet should not matter. -- Consultant Spirituel GuRuV!SiON _______________________________________________ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail
