Yup. I was quite impressed that they actively support Linux - although the Linux drivers are not on the device itself.. only Windows drivers there.
I think the vodahone mobile connect driver is a driver from vodafone that works with their service.
Possible... although, people say they've been able to connect without it... so... One thing the software does is monitor bandwidth usage... that's a major part of what it's doing... that plus an SMS applet.
I see that the python-notify spec refers to a udev rule for the device. I can perhaps see if that is up to any magic.
Otherwise, I fear that the solution is in the driver, which is vodafone.
Thanks for the info. I will look at it more this evening. Perhaps there is more that I have missed.
I haven't dissected the application - once I stumbled on it and installed it, it "just worked" so I left it at that. Fingers crossed there's something that can be extracted from the Python app to give a clue how to config the UMTS stick without the custom app. Alternatively.... Vodafone is in Sweden too :-) You could swap to their prepaid UMTS stick of all else fails... at least they actively support openSUSE. Reception is a bit spotty while I'm on the trains, but otherwise, it's been working great.
