You can read the horrifically long release notes here. We are still running an old svn checkout from ATrpms at home at the moment but I will update on my return. It really is a most incredible piece of Free software.

So support for these little beggars has been present since 2.6.20. They’re pretty clever things - setup as mass storage devices containing the drivers so on Windows the install wizard sets it up and you’re online within seconds. With linux its a quick config file edit. You’ll need to have wvdial or gnome ppp installed. Here’s the /etc/wvdial.conf file which works fine with 3 in the U.K. and seems to be the case with vodafone as well.
[Dialer Defaults]
Phone = *99***1#
Username = wap
Password = password
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
[Dialer 3G]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 384000
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATq0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D1 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Then (as root), run:
wvdial 3G and you should be on!
