-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Its a USB broadband modem that on boot emulates a CD-ROM where the drivers are stored (This emulated CD doesn't appear with the Linux drivers since it mode switches). It also has a micro-SD slot (but that fails to work on my acer aspire one running ubuntu), So I can understand where the confusion arrises. Mike Larry Seltzer wrote:
