Yes, you may run your mobile broadband card through your laptop and connect your laptop and ps3 with a LAN cable. I have done this before, and while it may take a bit to setup, it gets easier in the long run.
Remember to check your bandwith as PS3 online draws quite a bit, especially with downloads, so make sure to stop it so that you don’t go overboard with it.

I believe that if you have mobile broadband with a usb stick this can be put straight into the PS3 and you can game only. However if this doesn’t work you will have to connect your PS3 to your laptop using LAN cable. This is a big setup process but better in the long run. If none work use a standard hub and put it into your usb drive on the PS3
Ask him if his PS3 has built-in Wi-Fi. If so, you need to connect wirelessly to a router. Same thing with an ethernet cable. If his PS3 doesn’t have built-in Wi-Fi, use an ethernet cable to plug into the router. Those are the only ways to get his PS3 online. Best of luck!
