blahdeblahAnyone using the Huawei E173 USB mobile broadband modem with Optus?  It doesn't show up as supported on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Projects/WirelessBroadbandInformation but given the number of other Huawei modems on there, i'd probably be willing to risk it.  Any thoughts?08:28
