For those on Linux for whom DataCard does not work. Take the huawei dongle 
which works directly from power outlet on wall & then use Wifi of your laptop 
to connect with the world through it.

Just a suggestion. I have not used it, but it should work because it works 
like a standalone wifi router. Whether you put it on your Laptop USB or Wall 
power outlet should not matter.
