Net :: Anyone got a HUAWEI-E220 working yet?



Had anyone ever succeeded on getting a HUAWEI-E220 GPRS/UMTS modem working with DSL?
Not specifically, but the Gentoo folks did, so maybe using their solution would work.
It's a bare PPP modem connected to /dev/ttyUSB{0,1}, but as it primarily looks like a usb-cd-drive-emulator for windoze, it might not use those devices straight.

I got it working.. here some tips for future users...

1.Plug in the modem
2. in dmesg you will see a storage device added
3. do lsusb
4. Do modprobe usbserial vendor=xx product=xx (enter the numbers you found in lsusb, for mine it was 0x12d1 with 0x1300)
5. in dmesg you will see 2 serial ports were added (if not, or you only see one.. it might you you dont have usb 2 or your pc is to slow)
6. Put the wvdial.conf script below and make sure you have downloaded the wvdial.dsl file.
7. Start with wvdial hsdpa and you are online.

This information is for a telfort subscription! It took me a while to get the right wvdial.conf, but this should do it.
