# KPN redux


I installed my [new laptop](/s/b8c5b81548) with Fedora
11, and I must say that it is a very nice distribution. I'm even
contemplating leaving PulseAudio *enabled*, 'cause it just works.
Unlike [ubuntu](s/25f7d6ead2/).

To update my story [on the KPN
dongle](s/de8124816f/) (dongel). I just used it on this laptop
and it worked *out of the box*. The only thing you need to remember is
that you need to insert the stick *before* booting you machine. It will
not work if you insert it afterwards. If you observe this rule it will
just pop up in NetworkManager. 

If it fails you get the dreaded: `ignoring due to lack of mobile
broadband capabilties` and it will not work in NetworkManager. You can
still use `umtsmon` then.
