    Ok, hanging my head in shame - first I checked the performance, then I made sure it was USB compatible and GPRS/HSDPA/3G compatible - check and check. Don't ask me why, but I was convinced my 3 USB dongle was the E220..... it's not, it's the E180..... the one NOT on the compatibility list for the WRT54G3GV2-VF router!

    3 don't support anything other than the router they supply, so that brought their support to an end. Linksys were a little more helpful, said officially ye the E180 is not on the compatibility list, but???? Re-flashed the firmware and yes, this time the router was not looping on "Acquiring" network, but picked up 3 IRL. However, when trying to connect it was just, well, trying to connect and not connecting.

    Absolutely sick with myself for not verifying the E180 on the compatibility list, basic, basic error and I know it's probably a stupid question, but is there any hope of getting the E180 to work with the WRT54G3GV2-VF (VF as preconfigured for Vodafone)?

    The fact I managed to get the router to eventually pick up the 3 IRL network gave me some hope. I configured the APN to 3ireland.ie (no username, password or pin). I did read a post (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055037659) which mentioned similar issue, but they probably had a device that was ON the compatibility list. I was thinking if there might be a way to flash the firmware with a firmware not configured for Vodafone, but a generic WRT54G3GV2 firmware? Or somehow being able to get E180 driver software onto the router?

    One thing about the Linksys routers (have several) the logging is sh^t. Enabled but not seeing one single line of information in the logs, so can't actually tell where it's falling over.

    Cluthing at straws and nobody to blame but myself!!!!! Arrrrggggghhhh
