How to configure the rc.conf for a HUAWEI E220 modem

Hello.
I configured my HUAWEI E220 after the instructions in the wiki, and it's working well. BUT, I can't connect to the internet. I think that is because i didn't made any modifications at the network configurations in the rc.conf file. I don't know what to change. What should I write in it (i know that i can't use eth0 anymore, but what is the right interface for HUAWEI, ppp0, ttyUSB0...)? Thank you.

Re: How to configure the rc.conf for a HUAWEI E220 modem

I knocked together an RC script to start and stop the connection, which is ppp0

from it:

       /usr/bin/wvdial three &> /dev/null &
        route add default gw 10.64.64.64 &> /dev/null &
        rm /etc/resolv.conf
        echo nameserver 208.67.222.222 >> /etc/resolv.conf

perhaps this helps?
