The man who gave us the guide to getting your 3 dongle working in harmony with your Eee PC did so in light of his experiences helping out a pal. Obviously this has been ticking over in his mind, there are posts to prove it, and as such he’s “treated” himself to a Huawei E169G usb modem from 3 to compliment his own black Eee PC.

Once again, due to the dongle not ‘officially’ supporting Linux, there are potential teething problems. Liam is way ahead on this and his latest post highlights the possible pitfalls and describes how to body swerve your way around them.

Needless to say the method of his endeavour and the aid that came in the form of a blog entry by Dale Lane are provided. This means that anyone unsure about taking the plunge of hooking up a 3 dongle and Eee PC can find out what they’ll need to do to live the ultra-portable, always-connected dream!
