I have an USB internet key (multimode GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA) that only works on Windows.
Though, I mainly use Linux for development activities and I don't want to move them to Windows. For this reason I decided to use a Windows guest on VirtualBox for internet access and the Linux host for the other stuffs, but I'd greatly prefer to use Linux for everything (internet too) and Windows only as internet gateway.
How could I setup such environment? Any instructions or links to documentation are appreciated.
Host: Ubuntu 10.10 LTS
Guest: Windows XP,
VirtualBox: an old version but I can upgrade.
Can you explain what you mean by “internet key“? What technology is your internet connection based on? (dsl, cable, 3g?) Maybe we can come up with a solution so that you can connect directly from linux. – cularis – 2011-05-20T21:23:58.517
It's an usb internet key multimode GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA. (I edited the question adding this detail, HTH). – Paolo – 2011-05-20T21:36:54.593
