Which 3G dongles work with nexus 7? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I am aware of the PPP app for connecting the nexus 7 (2012) to a turbostick via OTG and 4.2. But which sticks use the PPP protocol? I'm trying to find a stick that works on Rogers 3G/HSDPA network.

Right now am using PPP widget with android 4.4.2. Previously, the app was not working on android 4.3 due to some issues related to this version, but it has been updated to work with the latest one.
Am using Huawei E171, which is perfect (makes you feel like you are using 3G version tab), but initially you have to follow some steps inorder to "Turn off Fake CD and SD Card" using Putty.

Are you using the latest version of Wifi Tether that supports setting up a true AP or still using an older version that only supports ad-hoc? Last I heard Android cannot see ad-hoc networks.
You are using adhoc. Android phones can't see that

They can see that. My Droidx sees it just fine.

[Q] Nexus 7 + USB-adapter cable + 3g dongle?

I use an adapter cable for my Nexus 7, so I can plug in various USB stuff (Nexus 7 hosts the stuff).
I am quite happy with that, using keyboards, mice, external USB-drives etc.
My Q's are:
I was wondering a bit about the limits to this support and I guess it comes down to driver support on Android's behalf. I guess the peripherals I mention work on generic drivers/standards etc and is therefore supported as-is by the OS?
And in continuation of that thread: Would it be possible to add support for, say, a USB 3G dongle, would that require a custom driver or what?
Just an idea

Yes because when you use tether via bluetooth it doesn't recognize a wifi signal.
Does anybody know how to get fixfi working with sprint?

[Q] Adhoc network connection

I have a Nokia E73 with JoikuSpot installed which tethers with my iPad Mini Retina perfectly but my Nexus 7, which is updated to Android 4.4.4 won't. What is the most recent version of Android, which will run on the Nexus 7, that will tether with an adhoc WiFi connection? Is there another method, such as Bluetooth, which can be used? My Nexus 7 is unlocked and rooted.
CyanogenMod is confirmed as a working solution with regards to this problem.
