Hello,
I have used the Huawei principally with my Mac Powerbook G4, which required that I download some drivers to install it. But the installation was straightforward and the device works like a charm. I have also it on a Windows-based laptop and the installation was even easier: you literally plug it in, Windows picks it up as a CD drive first of all, which then autoruns and installs the necessary drives and software for the modem...very clever!
