As title says,i have a t-mobile usb stick 610 currently working on windows 7,i want to try Ubuntu for the first time tomorrow when the new build is out but only if my mobile dongle will work with it?Im guessing i need to download ubuntu driver's for it if it will work?Or can ubuntu use windows driver's... i have no idea....
 
It most definitely can't use windows drivers :O

I seem to remember hearing that some of these work without needing to install anything, all I will suggest is give it a try from a live cd / usb.
 
It should just work.

Whilst travelling, I used a couple of dongles, from some obscure providers, that I never thought would be in Ubuntu's database.. I was pleasantly surprised when everything just worked.

No drivers, just plug in, some info ( APN e.t.c ) and you're off.
 
I use a Huwei 3g dongle on Ubunti on the Three Ireland network. Worked immediately. If you hang on until later today you should be able to download Maverick Meercat.
 
I use a Huwei 3g Dongle (3 network) at it works fine as well :)

just plugged it in (Ubuntu 10.4) it detected it and "bobs your uncle"
 
yeh it just works. dont worry, i've tried it with two different 3G adapters, the vodafone dongle, and sure mobile dongle, and they both just worked.
