I guess this page became irrelevant because "all" 4G and 3G USB dongles<br>
suddenly worked reasonably well on Linux. It should probably be replaced<br>
by a page stating that fact(?)<br>
<br>
I am sure there are exceptions which do not work at all, but for some<br>
years now these exceptions have been hard to find. So maintaining a<br>
list of supported devices doesn't make any sense. They all work, more<br>
or less.<br>
<br>
*How* they work still differ though. As Aleksander and others have<br>
mentioned, the trend seems go towards modems acting as mini-routers with<br>
web based management. The advantage is that it works the same<br>
regardless of host OS. The disadvantage is that you are limited by the<br>
management web application built into the modem firmware.<br>
<br>
The DDWRT guys have an extensive list of modems, which might give some<br>
clue wrt which modems support QMI or MBIM based management:<br>

<br>
But the number of device and firmware combinations is so large that I<br>
don't think it is possible to tell for sure without trying.<br>

They should work as well as any, as Thomas said. Exactly how is<br>
difficult to say without known the precise firmware configuration. But<br>
I am pretty sure you should be able to get an IPv4 Internet connection<br>
going without much trouble.<br>
