I have had success using the following in a Debian derivative of Lucid Puppy 5.1. I found a strange quirk in that I had to manually set a 9600 baud rate however I'm pretty confident the dongle is running at normal 3G speeds and ignoring this setting in hardware or something... additionally I cannot access the Wifi card also provided in this dongle but given I have no Wifi to connect to I'm not actually concerned by this yet personally

Notes & Issues: I found the following details necessary for my O2 service provider -
serial modem device file: /dev/ttyUSB0
apn: m-bb.o2.co.uk
username: o2bb
password: password
phone number: *99#
phone pin: [BLANK]
also unfortunately in order to get it to connect successfully i had to manually navigate to the options file [/etc/ppp/options] and alter the baud rate to 9600. it would then connect fine using the pgprs-connect. I have not been able to try the wireless router in this device, only the 3G...
If it would be of any help to you I'd be happy to test your files and see if this removes the quirk?
