Vodaphone wireless broadband driver download?

Asked by Tom

Vodaphone used to have an excellent driver for my wireless usb broadband here but it seems to have vanished. Does anyone know how to set up this Huawei K3520 to receive in England? Also any idea why Vodaphone appear to have withdrawn support for linux?

Good luck and regards from
Tom :(

to find the dependencies required by the standard download.

I managed to get Wvdial installed following the dependies download page i linked to above but haven't had time to get much further. I'm now back at home and off the boat so not sure how to get the answer to the boat lol. I'll have to read through and see what instructions i can txt through. Thanks Mark :)

Heck, i thought i was going back to the narrowboat sooner but got delayed. It's taken me ages to find this thread again and guess i should mark it solved so that it doesn't get deleted. Hopefully i will be able to try out this answer this weekend, fingers crossed

Thanks and regards from
