I've used 3 or 4 different Huawei usb 3G modems. All worked pretty
easily. I'm using an old version of the RCN images with Debian Wheezy
and kernel 3.8.13-bone51.
All the tutorials for 3G modem for linux in general works good in BBB. A
good one is this:
https://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-setup-usb-3g-modem-raspberry-pi-using-usbmodeswitch-and-wvdial
And I've tested only one 4G modem. It needed a newer version of
usb_modeswitch, which is available in the Jessie images of RCN:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#Debian_Testing_.28jessie.29
I think I had to recompile the kernel because one option was not turned
on in the default kernel I used. But I don't remember which one. It was
a long time ago and maybe this option is available now.
I haven't "shared" the 3G connection with the ethernet port, but I have
already read somewhere that it can be accomplished with firestarter and
dhcp3-server (to provide the IP's). Maybe this can help you.

Hello there,
Ive had it with my internet provider for a while now. I have a free
BeagleBone Black and a usb huawei 3G modem laying around though. So I
thought- wny not connect the usb modem to BeagleBone Black to get
internet, and then connect BeagleBone Black to my router via ethernet
to distrubute it further. I was trying to accmplish this approach some
time a go by googling around and trying to set up some programs on a
debian distro without success...
I was wondering- isnt there any straight forward solution for
aplication such as this? Maybe a separate OS even, I dont mind? This
is the only task I would like BeagleBone Black to do- get and then
distribute internet.
I would really aprichiate any help in here, it would be really great
for me to set this up.
