Vodafone offers Mac OS X drivers for 3G data network

Vodafone UK has begun offering Mac OS X drivers for its 3G Mobile Connect Card, moble PowerBook users with a PC card slot can connect to the Internet at near broadband speeds--up to 384kbps--. The Register reports that the "Vodafone 3G Mobile Connect CardVodafone's 3G card is made by Belgian data card specialist Option, which has had Mac OS X drivers in the pipeline for some time, along with Linux code. Since Option currently offers its 3G cards only through network operators, such as Vodafone, it only makes said drivers available through those partners - and even then, they have to ask for them." The report says that Orange and T-Mobile both offer similar cards, but neither ship with Mac OS X drivers.

Thank you,
