o2 mobile broadband 3g

Hi i have an Acer Aspire one system using Linpus Linux Lite v1.0.13E

I have bought an o2 wirless 3g dongle to connect to the internet but am unable to download any of the software needed to get it to work

When i insert the dongle i get a list of files to choose from including setup.exe but there is a little face and hand that stops this from working.

I have tried all other recommendations to do this but as i can only get into the connection manager on my system it wont let me set up a manual network

any ideas??

Yup, return it and get a "3" dongle as documented here.

Hi everyone,

I had the same problem, but found the solution here on the o2 forum
