A friend of my daughter has converted from windows to Linux just<br>
yesterday but has a Sierra Aircard 312U wireless USB modem and cannot<br>
get internet on the laptop.<br>
I've spoent hours googling to no avail. Search shows that this modem<br>
is useless for Linux so can someone please tell me which wireless usb<br>
modems work best on all linux flavours, easy to set up, etc.<br>
There's got to be something but I haven't had any luck finding<br>
information.<br>
If this change is successful there could follow at least 3 others so I<br>
really need help here please.<br>
Cheers and thanks in advance<br>
