A friend of my daughter has converted from windows to

I've spoent hours googling to no avail. Search shows that
this modem
is useless for Linux so can someone please tell me which
wireless usb
modems work best on all linux flavours, easy to set up, etc.
There's got to be something but I haven't had any luck finding
information.
If this change is successful there could follow at least 3
others so I
really need help here please.
Cheers and thanks in advance
Quick question about the device....
What does it show up as when you plug it in and type lsusb?
I don't know, I'll ask tomorrow
Thanks
Roger
Just out of curiosity, would switching to a wireless router that is
compatible with the air card, such as the Cradlepoint MBR900 be a
viable option?
I have never tried using a USB modem under linux, but I have used my
phone as a modem before. Every time I have done this it has been as
simple as setting up the modem dialer (KPPP) to dial #777 using the
USB modem (phone) as a modem. I haven't tried with my most recent
phone though.
No options available, this is a secondary student's laptop, it must work
at school and after hours. The student lives in the Boarding rooms at
school, goes home only on holidays. At home they have Bigpond so it
seems the student may be stuck with what telstra provides.
Many of her students want to change to Linux but this stops them in
their tracks. If it can be solved we will have converts to Linux.
While these are Ubuntu-specific, they may help:
