usb-modem

Does somebody have huawei modem working?

I trying with tcl 2.x, I installed the usb-to-serial module, and ppp.

But the model is not recognized, and the ttyUSB0 is not created.

Could somebody help me?

Cheers.

it depends on our huawei, but for me it works very well:

1. download the pppd extension with appbrowser and install it
2. plug in your modem (mine is huawei usb e220)
3. edit resolv.conf with the appropriate dns and move resolv.conf into /etc;
4. edit the file pppscript in /etc/ppp in order to reflect the informations of your provider (search in the how to section of the extensions in this forum if you don't know how to do it)
4. open aterm, type:

echo 'at+cpin"YOURPIN"'>/dev/ttyUSB0
echo 'at+cpin"YOURPIN"'>/dev/ttyUSB1 <--- maybe not necessary
sudo pppd -detach connect "chat -v -s -f /etc/ppp/pppscript <-- maybe you'll need to enter it several times since the modem not always hooks at the first time

and you should be ready to browse
