As per my post here (http://urbanoia.net/?p=509), I have found that the APN "virgininternet" works for me. Note that when using 3G data on my phone, sometimes the 3G data access point is displayed as "Virgin Internet", and other times it is displayed as "Virgin Broadband" or "Virgin Streaming". Perhaps it depends on the cell tower i am connected to?

I have been unable to get tethering working via the network manager, instead i use manual binding and wvdial.

When I open "Network Connections", there is a "Mobile Broadband" tab, which appears to have all the relevant settings, however there is no way that I can see to activate this - not available from the bluetooth applet or network applet.

Details of my system:
Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook edition
Asus Eee PC 1201pn
Nokia 5800 software ver 50.0.005
