Owners of Acer's Aspire One netbook will soon get USB 3G/HSDPA modem support.
Robert Perenz, Acer Europe's product manager for the Aspire One, confirmed that the machine has the ability to support HSDPA dongles, but admitted the missing link is a utility to initiate and managed connections to carriers, Register Hardware reports.
However, that will be rectified in the coming weeks, he promised at the IFA.
Right now, the Linux version of the Aspire One won't support a USB HSDPA modem out of the box - though there's a flyer in the package that invites owners to download code that will allow the Small, Cheap Computer to do so.
