Getting Mint 7 or Ubuntu, to Run an External Mobile Broadband Modem.

Hi, I got Mint 7 running on my Laptop, a Pentium 4 by Dell. It dual boots XP as well. But the mobile broadband which connects by the USB port only works in XP. There are small windows that say it will not run. Errors.

How can I get this working in Linux?

Might try ndiswapper.

Could consider using virtual machine and let windows do the networking.

In any case you ought to tell us a bit more about what you have.
