A friend of mine have a MacBook Air and want to use a "internet key" (3g dongle) in Italy, he got one from TIM.it but is not working with Mac OS Lion they don't have drivers or something like that.


Does anyone know how to make it work?

Are you sure there are no drivers? TIM doesn't make their own "chiavette" they rebrand existing ones. It seems they have two versions, Huawei E353 and Olivetti Olicard 145. Both should work on OSX.

This is a link for the Olicard driver which I got off the Internet for you but am not sure of the contents. Google your drivers first.

If your friend speaks Italian, then this forum could be of use.

Thanks for your post it helps a lot.


The key it's red with "Ducati" brand on it, I think that is the Huawei E353
