[liketom]

Hey all ,

i have a Three Mobile Broadband dongle and am looking for an alternative way of connecting to 3g from it rather then use the 3 Connect software ?

on my MBP i was getting kernal panics due to the software - plug in, use broadband , close connection and then the system will crash with a kernal panic.

anyone elese have the same issue? any workaround or other software ?

Did you ever resolve this?

I'm looking for a UK 3G mobile broadband dongle for my MacBook, but I really don't want to have to install the Service Provider's driver software to run it, as my experience has always been that such software is horrible, horrible, horrible.

I have a 3G dongle with 3, the software is awful. Its built for Windows users and the interface for Macs is woeful. When you use it you can't get system messages from 3, when I asked them about it their solution was, "connect the dongle to a Windows PC to pick up your messages". Useful. To be fair to the guy on the phone he agreed the setup for Macs was poor but couldn't tell me if 3 were planning on updating it.

I'd advise you try a different provider if possible but if not be VERY careful about your data useage as 3 are incredibly expensive if you go over your allowance.
