hi,

have telstra zte mf668 (without "a") working in linux mint 9 , 10 (based on ubuntu 10.04 lucid , 10.10 meerkat).

668 works "out of box" in lm10 using network manager, in lm9 had download , install sakis3g work consistently - http://www.sakis3g.org

can read same problem here - maybe tips (see post #7 did working):

maybe if first try starting dongle plugged in @ boot, then, wait few minutes - patient - things settle before you:

right-click network manager icon in notification tray
if "enable mobile broadband" option there , left-click it
left-click network manager icon,
click on account have set up
.... connects.
