Hello friends,
When I was back home (9 months ago), most of you asked me about the possibility of accessing Internet using AriaNet or ReberQuick. Unfortunately, by then I had no clear answer, what I could do, was sending this post.
The good news, I recently found a rather easy way to connect to such connection plans (so called, mobile broadband), the following screenshots show the steps of activating the connection. To let you know, I am using the latest version of Ubuntu 10.10:
Note: click on the photos to see them in a better size.
1- First connect your device to your computer.
2- Go to the Network applet, right click on it and select (Edit Connections).
3- Click on the Mobile Broadband tab.
4- Click on forward.
5- Select Iraq, and click forward.
6- Select (I can’t find my provider, and I wish to enter it manually), then write the name of your provider (either Arianet or Reber Quick), then click forward.
7- Now, click on Apply and you are almost done 
8- Enter your username and password, then click on Apply.
9- Now your connection is ready, and you can simply select it by clicking on your Network applet.
I think, this is a really easy way to configure it, unfortunately, I didn’t have access to any mobile broadband device, so I cannot guarantee that this will work, but you can give it a try, and write me feedback on it.
Happy Internet connection

I am in Hewler now, so I got to try using Reber Quick service on Ubuntu by applying the steps here:
http://amanj-kos.blogspot.com/2010/12/connecting-arianet-or-reberquick-to.html
& it worked! I used "reber" as the user name and password. It worked for the black device easily. Well I tried it for the red & black device as well, but no success. It could be my device's fault however. It is a bit loose when plugged.
Hope this helps. Regards.
Good to hear this Nosheen, I hope others get it to work too
Hey guys, Im trying to follow the steps above, but it doesnt work for me I have suse 11. When I go to the mobile broadband it does not ask for the country. DO you have any other suggestions? Please Help!!!
Hey Johanna,
I am not familiar with Suse, but if you have the details about your provider, like the name of the provider, dial up number (most likely, #777) and the username and password, you may be able to setup the connection manually without selecting the country!
As far as I understood, this country selection step, is to make the procedure easier (by listing the available and registered providers in the selecting country) and it is not an obligatory step.
Good luck
