I had one of these once. It worked, but the 3's coverage (in London) was rubbish, so I gave it away.
These are the config files I can find on my PC:
Code:
tred@vaio:~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-sc-huawei-e169g.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb" SYSFS{idProduct}=="1001", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/usr/sbin/e169g-switch"
tred@vaio:~$ cat /usr/sbin/e169g-switch
#!/bin/bash
# Switch off the CD rom, start modem-mode
/sbin/usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1001 -d 1
/sbin/usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1001 -H 1
echo Huawei-E169G switched to Modem Mode >> /var/log/messages
exit 0
tred@vaio:~$
Note: your path to
usb_modeswitch may be different. I just put it in
/usr/sbin Adjust it if you need to.
Then I ran a script called
salutis-connect :
Code:
tred@vaio:~$ cat /usr/bin/salutis-connect-V4
#!/bin/bash -e

Here's another conf file for you:

[Dialer three]

tred@vaio:~$
The passwords and usernames don't matter in the above as all this is handled by the SIM card in your dongle.
You'll need the
zenity package installed for salutis-connect to work (It makes a window dialog for a bash script, but there are other alternatives)
Hope this helps. The "salutis-connect" site seems to be no longer supported
But here's an (old) link for you:
http://samiux.wordpress.com/2008/04/...on-ubuntu-804/
But I thought modern linux kernels just managed these things OK eg
eeebuntu on my eee701, just detected the Huawei 169 and connected.
Please note that I no longer have this hardware to play with. It was junk (because the network wasn't there).
