                Ok relax, with kubuntu it takes a little more searching and reading in order to resolve issues as I have personally found from experience. My installation of Kubuntu isn't perfect but it it works enough for it to be usuable.

                Now to your problem, I don't personally have one of these cards but I've managed to get some more information within the links that Snowhog Gave.

                Here are some links

                For Driver installation:
                https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/f...99.17_i386.deb

                Install it like you would a setup file in MS Windows, then follow the instructions below.

                Instructions on use:
                http://www.howtoforge.com/vodafone_m...d_driver_linux

                Just some terms for newbies

                Console or terminal = Command prompt like Konsole in KDE

                kdesu = command used for the user interface version of sudo (kdesu installed by default)

                Debian = the version of linux OS of which Ubuntu and Kubuntu are based on.

                Deb = are installation packages designed for a Debian based OS

                Without actually having the datacard myself I cannot do any tests, I hope this helps anyway.
