Hello!
I have Huawei 3G USB modem.
$ lsusb | grep -i huawei
Bus 004 Device 007: ID 12d1:1436 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E173 3G Modem (modem-mode)I am trying to make netctl to auto-switch to internet connection via this modem as soon as I plug it in.
Following Arch Wiki, I made internet via wvdial working fine:
$ sudo wvdial kymp
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.kymp.net"
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.kymp.net"
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT*99***1#
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT*99***1#
CONNECT
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Tue Aug 6 22:52:11 2013
--> Pid of pppd: 2087
--> Using interface ppp0
--> local IP address <...>
--> remote IP address <...>
--> primary DNS address <...>
--> secondary DNS address <...>Next, I tried to setup netctl profile for this modem, but my netctl mobile_ppp profile is NOT working:
$ cat /etc/netctl/ttyUSB0-kymp | nocomment
Description='Kymp internet connection'
Interface=ttyUSB0
Connection=mobile_ppp
PPPDebug=true
AccessPointName=internet.kymp.net

Hangup (SIGHUP)
Modem hangup
Connection terminated.
Exit.Seems like something is wrong in netctl profile and I need to teach netctl to use wvdial instead of whatever-it-uses-now for mobile_ppp connection.
So the question is: "Is this possible to make netctl profile based on wvdial connection? Or is this possible to fix abovr netctl mobile_ppp profile?"
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Managed to solve above problem by adding "noipdefault" parameter to pppd config lines in /usr/lib/network/connections/mobile_ppp
In case somebody needs, here is how to make netctl profile auto-start/stop on Huawei modem plug-in/out:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-huaweimodem.rules
ACTION=="add" , SUBSYSTEM=="tty" , KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]", DEVPATH=="*:1.0*", SYMLINK+="huaweimodem"
ACTION=="change", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM_MEDIA}=="1", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="HUAWEI*", ENV{ID_TYPE}=="cd", RUN+="/usr/bin/netctl start huawei"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="tty" , KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]", DEVPATH=="*:1.0*", RUN+="/usr/bin/netctl stop huawei"
$ cat /etc/netctl/huawei
Description='Kymp/DNA internet connection'
Interface=huaweimodem
Connection=mobile_ppp
AccessPointName=internet
User=internet
Password=internetWorked for me for E173 and E220 Huawei modems with two different ISPs.

hi everybody !
Via Archlinux installed on an external usb hdd, I am unable to connect to the internet with a huawei usb modem E 153 .I followed the wiki and I get the following error : " can't use storage command in MessageContent with interface 0; interface class is 239, should be 8. Aborting ".
Can you please help ?

Thanks for sharing this bit of information. This solved the issue for me. But before fixing this, I also had to change the file at another position: I had to escape the quotes around the IP in the connect string setting the APN, so that it now looks like this:
${AccessPointName:+'OK-AT-OK' 'AT+CGDCONT=1,\"IP\",$(quote_word "$AccessPointName")'}Without this change, I was getting errors like this:
May 04 10:25:26 bppi chat[2105]: send (AT+CGDCONT=1,IP,"web.vodafone.de"^M)
May 04 10:25:27 bppi chat[2105]: expect (OK)
May 04 10:25:27 bppi chat[2105]: ^M
May 04 10:25:27 bppi chat[2105]: AT+CGDCONT=1,IP,"web.vodafone.de"^M^M
May 04 10:25:27 bppi chat[2105]: ERROR^M
May 04 10:25:30 bppi pppd[2103]: Connect script failed

I did took a look at the mobile_ppp script source (netctl v.1.11-1). It checks for ChatScript variable.
That variable can cointain path to your custom chat script.
Set it on your network profile file (/etc/netctl/<profilefile>).
See man netctl.profile for more.
I tested it and managed to get my Huawei e3372 _finally_ working. \o/
