3G USB Dongle usage

[James Cameron]

I also have a 3G USB wireless modem that I test with Sugar.  Sugar
does not execute any autorun, but a connection can be made easily
using the frame icon for the modem.

Call up the Sugar frame, then right-click on the icon, and choose
connect.

Is there a reason the autorun code is needed, apart from making a
connection?
