[ILUG] eeepc and three 3g

[Rafiq Maniar]

Hey,
I have both a Vodafone and a Three 3g modem on my eeepc.

The Vodafone one works perfectly all the time.

On the other hand, the Three one works... under the right conditions. Like,
on
the night of a full moon while standing on one leg and singing opera.

At first, it worked if I made sure to click "Properties" before starting
the connection. After a few weeks, that 'method' stopped working altogether.

Then, I was able to get it working for a while by creating a new connection
through
the wizard every single time I wanted to make a connection. After about 2
weeks, that
stopped working about half the time.

Yes, I'm sure theres a technical reason for these things but quite frankly I
can't be bothered. I just
use the Vodafone one now, and good riddance tbh.

Have fun :P
