Finally decided that I needed mobile broadband and decided to sign up with Singtel. Got the HUAWEI E220 USB modem to work with 2 of my notebooks ... Fedora 7 and Fedora Core 3.
Fedora 7
yum install pyserial python-sqlite2 python-twisted
cd /home/roy/addons
wget http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/dag/dries/packages/libgksu/fc5-i386/libgksu-1.3.7-1.2.fc5.rf.i386.rpm
wget http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/dag/dries/packages/libgksuui/fc5-i386/libgksuui-1.0.7-1.2.fc5.rf.i386.rpm
wget http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/dag/dries/packages/gksu/fc5-i386/gksu-1.3.4-1.2.fc5.rf.i386.rpm
wget https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/frs/download.php/50/vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-1.0-1.fc7.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh libgksu-1.3.7-1.2.fc5.rf.i386.rpm libgksuui-1.0.7-1.2.fc5.rf.i386.rpm gksu-1.3.4-1.2.fc5.rf.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-1.0-1.fc7.i386.rpm
Things to note
1. number to dial is *99#
2. dns to use is 165.21.83.88 and 165.21.100.88
3. APN for Singtel is "internet"
4. username = dummy
5. password = dummy

Fedora Core 3
Whoa, this was more challenging since we are not able to use the stuff from vodafone. Here's how I did it ... plug in the USB modem and do the following
rmmod usb-storage
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003
ls -la /dev/ttyU*
ln -sf /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem
Things to note
1. invoke your "Internet Configuration Wizard" found under System Tools in a Gnome Desktop to setup a new connection
2. number to dial is *99#
3. dns to use is 165.21.83.88 and 165.21.100.88
4. APN for Singtel is "internet"
