I have a number of users using mobile broadband on Mandriva and it works 
well (and easier than M$), you do not use the software on the sim but 
only the linux. But you then have to ask the provider for 3 items:-

1/ Access Point
2/ User ID
3/ Password

Although it is a little difficult to get that information out of them, 
("it is on the sim") they do provide it.

On Friday I am with somebody and will be installing their Vodaphone 
Mobile Broadband.

Are you aware that O2 dongle uses cell network AND any nearby BT hubs?
