    Thanks. Which particular one do I download and how do I install? I downloaded the ALL "run" driver file and double clicked but did not work.
    I am a newbie to Linux.

    This is becuase you when you double click, you do not have "administrator" rights. I installed it this way:

    Press Alt + F2

    Type sudo ./vodafone-mobile-connect-card-for-linux-2.0.beta3-ALL-i386-installer.run

    To start the driver, Press alt + F2 and type: sudo vodafone-mobile-connect-card-for-linux

    I have integrated the application into the main menu by creating a vodafone.desktop file. If you are interested to know how, let me know.

    good luck!
