for 3G USB cards users in Egypt (for ubuntu users only), good news !!
Posted by AhmedSQL | Filed under Linux
I know this is too late but i wanted to share the experience here in Egypt, Ubuntu 10.8 now supports using the 3G cards out of the box !!, but dose it support our lovely 3 networks in Egypt ?!! yes it is !! i have tried it Vodafone and Itisalat and it worked great, you will configure your 3G card at the first time for less than 2 mints !! , i didn’t try MobiNil yet (but i am sure 99% it would work).
You can only connect and disconnect, No dashboard to show you the used traffic, so be careful and avoid having any hurt-attacks when you checking the monthly bill :-s
