Does anyone have any ideas/hints/updates on when Telecom will release software for their USB Data Sticks to run in Linux?

I spoke to a customer services rep earlier this year and they had no idea whether there was any...
I'm using one of the Telecom sticks (not a Sierra one).

Thanks for any info!

(p.s. The windows software won't run in Wine)

I would hazard a guess and say "not ever" for the current generation of devices.

Get the model number and check on overseas forums where there will be a higher concentration of Linux + 3G users.

Some devices will able to be configured without carrier / manufacturer support.
