It may not be relevant, but i got a Telstra Bigpond wireless broadband
modem working with my laptop (running gutsy) on the weekend with
surprising ease.
All that was required was to load the appropriate module (once the
device was recognised and the device id obtained from lsusb):
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x16d8 product=0x6280
This made it possible to run a modem connection over /dev/ttyUSB1. With
Telstra, you can just call *99# as if it's old-fashioned dialup.
