Our experience has been different, we’ve been running it on an iBook G4 without a problem (setup was a bit of a fiddle). I assume it’s because you’re on the new chipset that the software hasn’t been forthcoming.

Given what I’ve heard about the speed of response from Huawei (the makers of the box) it might be worth getting in touch with them direct.

The device has software in the modem for use with Windows based PCs, but come with a CD software disc for use with Apple MacPro machines. The software version on disc was out of date and I had to contact Vodafone support to get a portal link to the latest version. However, having downloaded from the portal, I found out that when trying to run the software the version on the portal is an incomplete set of software missing one module (at least) and 4 weeks later and numerous phone calls, the portal software has yet to be updated.

Buyer therefore should be aware that this device does not work currently with Apple MacPro machines, the Apple Mac software department working for Vodafone does not undertake final software release testing and Vodafone has not got a customer service department that can resolve such an issue after four weeks. Oh and they continue to charge you for a service that you cannot use.
