[BNM] 3 mobile broadband

[Ivan Pope]

I've got the 3 dongle and using it on a Leopard MacBook Pro. It works fine
now - yesterday on the train to Peterborough tootling along with great
connectivity. I discovered that the dongle mounts a volume on the desktop
which stops it connecting. I eject this strange volume each time and it
works fine generally.
