    As far as I'm aware the only USB dongle that will work with the Aspire One in Linpus is the Huawei E160 (and maybe the E200). This is a white jobbie (the make and type are on the bottom - other colours may be available!).
    You must do a Live Update and this will include the software for your dongle - it's called 'Mobile Partner'.
    Once you've got Mobile Partner running then you need to enter the APN (?ANP -- I know it's got an A and a P in it) and the username and password for your network - you will find these by googling -- they are all pretty simple (like 'wap' and 'web''). You will also need a dial code - again google is your freind, but it's something like *99#
    It should - if the wind is blowing in the right direction - connect.
    Bon chance!
