connecting RPI to internet via USB port

i have a 4g wifi USB adapter i use to connect my desktop pc to the internet on a day to day basis. it is not a wifi receiver/dongle/antenna whatever u wanna call them. its my actual network/connection to internet.. i have unlimited data on it and pay a monthly bill like i would for a cell phone. would i be able to connect my USB 4g internet card rite into the usb port of my PI and get internet connection jus like i do for my pc..?? i dont have a router so i cant connet thru a ethernet.. please help!!!

It could be possible would need to know more about the service type of card, carrier there was a post about one of those type of devices working I forget the name of the service off hand though.

That one haven't come across this is a thread with a similar device the person said it was pretty much plug in the device and go all I can think is try that and see what happens.

Note you will probably need a powered USB Hub

If it's usb then type

lsusb

After you insert it and it should give a list of what Linux identifies the device as.

If that list seems promising then type

ifconfig to see if you get an IP address
