Mobile broadband
I could do with a PAYG mobile broadband thingy to use with my Eee PC, and this offer from Vodaphone looks reasonable, but says it only works on Windows machines. Does anyone know whether it would work with a linux based Eee PC and if not any alternative PAYG mobile broadband deals that do work with Eee PCs?

http://www.we-u.com/?p=426 seems to suggest it'll also Just Work on the EEE Xandros setup.
There's also a Vodafone Betavine project for their dongles, which might mean more work setting it up but does look to have suitable drivers:

I have an Orange 3G dongle (Icon 225, on a contract) for my EEE 901, but I'm running Debian and building my own kernels so it's not quite as easy a solution (I think mainline support is a lot better than when I first got it a year ago though).

Are you still running the installed OS?
if so i can have a play on my eee 701.

Whether that's a good offer depends on your usage: £15 gets me 30 days on T-Mobile, with a 3Gb 'go above this and we will warn you rather than charge you' data allowance. Use a little every so often, and Vodafone looks better, whereas if you use more in a month, T-Mobile looks better. 'Other mobile offers exist.'

I'll bear it in mind for myself if I get another mobile stick. Cheers for pointing it out.
