Vodafone's openly sourced GUI for 3g cards (https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/frs/?group_id=12) supports E220 and initiates the modem in Gutsy (and according to the documentation Edgy and Feisty are supported as well), shows the signal strength as well as makes it possible to choose 3g/gprs modes and send and receive SMS.

Gutsy comment: It does put a cd-rom disc icon labeled MOBILE_CONNECT on the desktop - this however doesn't interfere with internet connectivity and one can simply "Eject" it if one finds it disturbs one's desktops visual appearance.

I was using the e220_startup script from above together with wvdial on Feisty. Now in Gutsy I fire up Vodafone's app after having connected the modem, let it recognize and initate the modem and then run wvdial in a terminal using my earlier configuration.

I have no doubt that I could make use of the GUI's wvdial integration, but the default wvdial profile there doesn't allow me to connect to my operator 3.
If anyone knows a good profile for this in Vodafone's app then please share.

Cheers!
