    Driver

    1) if you have another way of getting the One online then open firefox and browse to the link I posted earlier.
    2) download vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-2.0.beta3-ALL-i386-installer.run. This should save it into your Downloads folder
    (if you can't do this, then download the software on another machine and use something like a usb stick to copy the file over)
    3) press alt+f2 to bring up the run program dialog box. Make sure nothing is in the text area, click the 'run in terminal' box and click the run button
    4) in the text window that appears type the following -
    cd Downloads
    chmod 755 vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-2.0.beta3-ALL-i386-installer.run
    sudo ./vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-2.0.beta3-ALL-i386-installer.run

    5) Follow the installation instructions, then when it's finished type in vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux and press return (I'm sure the betavine guys could have come up with a shorter filename than that but never mind)
    6) if it works you'll get asked for connection details (put web for the username and password, and internet for the apn) and then with a bit of luck it will connect
    7) if it doesn't work, try typing sudo<space> before the filename (so it's 'sudo vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux')
