IME the older white one works, the newer, faster black one doesn't.
They're both Huawei, I think.
You need to have the package "usb-modeswitch" installed. Most distros have it.

For $99 you can get a 3G Wifi hotspot device from the 2 degrees kiosk
in most malls. It's the size of a small cellphone and it's normal
WEP/WPA/WPA2 wifi that works with any Wifi capable device, including
Linux. It has a web interface for doing 2 degrees top-ups. It's also
Huawei.

YMMV
