I was just given a shiny used Vodaphone G3/GPRS card for my Dell D610 Laptop. When I insert the card it sees the card as a G3/GPRS card. I am now stuck. How do I set up the card to work? I am using SuSE Enterprise Linux Desktop (SLED) 10.

I had checked Google. They all show reviews and where to buy but nothing on how to set it up. I tried Vodaphone but they "Don't support Linux" and won't even try and work with me.

Linux is notorious for not supporting certain wireless devices. Why you may say? Not because it isn't a good kernel/operating system, but because a Windows delevoper gets paid to develop, where as a Linux developer mostly likely is volunteering to develop something for the communities sake. Also a windows developer has to meet deadlines or risk termination, a Linux developer is mostly his/her own boss. To answer your question, you may need to use a Windows emulator like "wine", but I don't know if that will play with your hardware any better.

see you later as you do not favor to play Crysis you'll get completely good PCI/AGP playing cards from maximum shops which will play maximum video games. i'm utilising my onboard Intel card and characteristic no issues for familiar gaming (Hitman, CSI etc). :)
