Hallo,
I have a Huawei E220 Vodafone " Internet Connect Box" This works fine for windows and OSX but I want to use it for my puppy. I found a link
http://the.taoofmac.com/space/Huawei/E220 with some info which I couldn´t work out how to use for Puppy. Has anyone used this equipment successfully on Puppy--can anyone assist ?
TIA
Martin

EDIT: totally redone this Post.

The point is, puppy detects an usb-storage (which contains the drivers for windows) and stops detecting. But the device not detected is the actual modem ... so you have to do following:

after trying to connect once, and letting the device reconnect (by itself; it does this after 10-20 seconds after disconnecting), is does not disconnect any more. But it still does not respond:

try to have the modem connected at the time you boot - this worked for me!

then, create a file "/etc/ppp/peers/wvdial" containing the line "defaultroute" (I don't know if this file can also be empty - just try)

do the above changes (change /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 in wvdial.conf)

then, "wvdial huewai_e220" - it worked for me! (If it doesn't: make sure the pin is deactivated - can be done using the windows software, or edit the pin in the [pin]-section of wvdial.conf and call "wvdial pin huewai_e220")

Hallo,

I am totally new to Puppy. I installed puppy to the harddisk

What I have to do, that the modem is recognized correctly at boot? I do not want to type

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003 (thats the only thing you have to type)

EDIT: strange - this works only, if you reboot without putting another networkcard in the meantime to the compter - if you do so - you have to type also

rmmod usb-storage
rmmod usbserial

EDIT

again.

If you have the modem work correctly, it is easier to connect through ppp and chat-scripts

there is a very good howto here: http://linux.frankenberger.at/Huawei_E220.html

you only have to change /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0

I'm trying to setup 3G USB modem under puppy. wvDial gives "Modem not responding" after trying to send ATZ initializing command.

The system's messagess log file gives me something similar to this:

Guys,

for a nice interface to control the Huawei E220 check this out.
http://umtsmon.sourceforge.net/

I've been using it quit intensive & I think it's a good add on for controlling the Huawei
