    Just bought my aspire one home and it works great. The only problem is, I would like to install my usb modem, but since its linux I need a specific driver. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great.

    It might help if you were a bit more specific about this modem. What exactly is it, what manufacturer, what chipset? There are lots of them!

    Ah, right, so a 3g dongle rather than a phone modem.

    A forum search on Huawei leads to this thread pretty quickly:
