How to get Telenor Mobile Broadband to work in Ubuntu 9.04

There has been some trouble getting Mobile Broadband (Mobilt Bredbånd) from Telenor working in Linux for some time now. But when Ubuntu 9.04 came it seemed promising for those who have had problems before. Everything needed is included at install time. But you have to use some non-default configurations when connecting. All you need to do is plug in your USB-dongle, follow the wizard and when you’re done, edit the connection settings. You need to add Username and password (both are the telephone number for your sim card). Write “telenor” as the APN. I entered the PIN too, but I’m not sure if it’s needed. That should be it. Hope it helps!
