Just run the setup wizard by clicking the network icon once the dongle is in, and hey presto! And hotspots are easier - just choose T-Mobile from the list, and pop in the username and password you got from T-Mobile... I know that works well on 8.10, without the need for wader.

The Huawei dongles are all supported by the kernel already. The Option Icon 225 wasn't in the main kernel prior to 2.6.27 (I think I got the number right) but prior to that it could be used with an external module, the hso module in this instance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loadable_kernel_module in Intrepid and beyond the Icon 225 doesn't need any drivers as it is supported in the kernel.

If so then go to synaptic package manager and add a third party software source, here is the line you need to paste in: <code>deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wader/ubuntu hardy main</code> then after a refresh you should be able to install wader-gtk from the package list. do you by any chance have one of the first webbooks with the Orange HSOConnect client? if so then what you need is the Wader mobile broadband client (which technically is the dialer rather than the driver).

And as for the content restriction it's amazing how many people aren't aware of it and call the wrong support number to get it sorted.
