Huawei E220 HSDPA modem in GNUNTU

E220 works perfectly with wvdial on ubuntu Hardy Haron.

  • Plug in the modem and run - sudo wvdialconf

  • Then edit the wvdial.conf file… - sudo vim /etc/wvdial.conf - Uncomment Username and Password lines in wvdial.conf and add the following to the end of the file "stupid mode = yes"

  • Save the wvdial.conf

  • Run wvdial to get connected :)

If you are using ubuntu 8.10 then the Graphical Network Manager recognizes the modem and connects you within seconds.
