4G USB dongles known to work on Linux

[Henrique Ferreiro]

Hi, thanks for the info.

I just need network connectivity, so I guess the Huawei dongles would work
ok.In any case,  if I understood correctly, the benefit of a QMI/MBIM
dongle is that they would just work on Linux, is that right? In that case,
I would definitely prefer to get one of those but I have no idea on how to
check that. Again, any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Henrique.
