Found these instrucions to get Vodafone Mobile Connect working on Linpus and my Acer Aspire one. I use a Vodafone USB 3G device E172
Download the installer from here, and save it to your Desktop.
Then, open a terminal, and run:
cd ~/Desktop
sudo sh vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-2.0.beta3-ALL-i386-installer.run
When prompted, enter your password
You will be prompted to enter users who should have permissions for this: enter your username, and root
When installation has finished, you should be able to run the utility from the terminal by typing:
sudo vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux
or, if you modify the entry in the Internet section of the Launch menu, so that the command "vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux" is prefaced with "sudo", you can run it by clicking on there instead.
