i have just acquired the Arnova 10 G2, and i would like to know if there are any drivers or support that i could install to get the HUAWEI E367 HSPA+ dongle working on it, i have installed the latest update from the Archos website but this has no effect regarding the issue.

i also have an older dongle, the HUAWEI E160G HSDPA, which works without fault on the tablet, but i would really like to get the newer 1 working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I don't own this tablet yet (planning for one), but I guess there's not much you can do assuming you didn't find any drivers. It's already brilliant a 3rd party 3g dongle works with it. Did you install anything or it did automatically ? Did you have to choose any connection or internet just worked ?

If the dongle is supported, it probably behaves like the Archos 3G Stick that you can see here:

(should work the same on Arnova 10 G2)

thanks will need a micro USB lead in order to try the dongle in that way, i did try the lead that came with the dongle which is a regular USB lead but was still the same result, but i shall keep you posted

with the dongle that works it was just a case of plug n play, it installed itself n connects to the 3G network no problem, but its seriously old n slow, which is why i want the newer one to run

another option until 3g dongles can be made to work properly is just to tether your tablet to your andriod mobile phone.

wired tether doesnt seem to work but making a virtual wifi spot from your android phone works great, i can now go online away from a wifi spot using my phones data plan.
