Hi pauljennings2006
I guess this all depends on how good you are with Linux, and also which Linux "Distro" you're using.
Vodafone doesn't officially support Linux as such, however we do have Vodafone's Beta Vine site where you can get some help.
I use Ubuntu as my main OS at home. I've tried to get a Vodafone USB modem to work, it took a little research from the internet to load on the necessary repositories and build the client but that's because I’m still learning Linux as such.
The settings you will need to input manually into are:
All the best

Ubuntu 9.10 here on eeepc and that was updated online from 9.04 using Vodafone k3520 (750MB downloaded).
Ubuntu Network Manager is mostly ok except when it ties itself in knots and fails to connect because it's
already connected, except it isn't. That's resolved by complete removal of vodafone from mobile connect
menu then adding it back. Trick to mostly avoid this seems to be to alway unmount the dongle then unplug
before shutting down.
That was too frustrating and I setup manual ppp dialup. From a terminal window 'sudo pppd call vodafone'
gets a reliable connection and 'sudo pkill -HUP pppd' will close connection and new addition is session log
giving time connected, connection details, ip addresses (local and dns) and bytes sent/received. This also
works ok with my Orange E160X dongle with appropriate APN, user and password.
Sending and receiving texts also works ok using gnokii (I believe only receiving possible on PAYG). Gnokii
works from commandline but is also linked in to Evolution.
