Hi folks, My dad has just taken out a new mobile contract on Three and as part of the deal they gave him a 3 Mobile Broadband USB modem (Huawei E220).
Now I've been googling for a while now about this modem but I can't find any specific instructions on how to get this modem working in the UK with the 3 Mobile network. The nearest thing I have found is either for 3 in Australia, 3 Ireland or for T-Mobile. The modem is detected and is assigned to /dev/ttyUSB0 and I get the following in dmesg when I add the modem: [ 485.400000] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 [ 485.560000] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 485.564000] option 2-2:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected [ 485.564000] usb 2-2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0 I've created a fresh new wvdial.conf file containing the following: [Dialer Defaults] Phone = *99***1# Username = username Password = password Stupid Mode = 1 Dial Command = ATDT [Dialer three] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 460800 Init2 = ATZ Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem When I try to dial it I get the following: WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port. WvDial<*1>: Initializing modem. WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATZ WvDial<*1>: Sending: ATQ0 WvDial<*1>: Re-Sending: ATZ WvDial<Err>: Modem not responding. I'm stumped now. It's the first time I've played with anything like this before and I can't find a definitive how to for this modem, 3 Mobile Broadband in the UK and Ubuntu 7.10. Has anyone managed to get it working?
