Getting the Three Huawei E169G 3g modem working under Ubuntu

I've managed to get my new Huawei E169G 3g modem working fine under Ubuntu Hardy.

I cheated and downloaded the Vodafone 3g driver from
http://betavine.net/bvportal/web/linux_drivers.

The settings I used are as follows:
number: *99#
chap
username: three
password: three
APN: 3internet

Manual DNS settings (I always use openDNS - its safer and quicker):
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

I highly recommend the 3g stick - its working beautifully - if only the 3g coverage were better in the UK....
