Ubuntu installation for Huawei E270 for BIG IDIOTS

[mime]

Ok, I am not ready to give up just yet.
I bought a second PC just to play around with Ubuntu and quickly realized that I am rather dof as I cannot for the life of me figure out how to install the E270 on Ubuntu.
All the forums I ask for help I get messages like run, od^%^&*asjk???!!!
wvdial, doobian then you go to *&^%^ and install ???? and run this etc. etc.

You get my drift, it makes no sense for a 43 year old average Windows XP user.

Is there a step by step guide out there or someone that can explain it to me in small words? :erm: please?

ja, the new ubuntu is very easy to install data cards on, my E160G installed in a fraction of the time it takes to install on Vista.

Hi Solly,

If it works the same my data card did just plug it in, wait a minute or so. The on the top right of the screen click on the small icon that looks like a network strength indicator. You will see the name of your data card in the drop down lit. Underneath it it should show a "Connect" link. Click on this an bobs your uncle.

If it does not connect your data card might have the habit of installing itself as a USD card or CD ROM. When that happens click on My Computer, look for a USD or CD ROM. Right click on it and "Unmount". This will remove it as a USB or CD Rom. Your data card should now connect.
