	Have been using an E220, an E270 and the Dell built in Novatel Wireless
HSDPA Modem on Linux (Ubuntu 7.x and 8.04) without problems.

	On Ubuntu 8.04, I have removed ALL trickery re module loading, as far
as I can remember. It seems that the device IDs are now in the kernel,
and a modern kernel should recognise the devices correctly, loading them
as HSDPA/HSUPA/3G modems, rather than mass storage devices.

	For reference, here's my wvdial.conf, which has all three operators in
Ireland working (or did have, last I tested.) Defaults to O2 which is
the SIM I most often have installed, but 'wvdial vodafone' or 'wvdial
three' will merrily use the respective operators, as required.
