Huawei E220 working with Arch / on three.uk(HP mini note 2133)

Hi,

just to inform the Arch community that for me the Huawei E220 HSDPA modem works on three.uk (3g network).:)

I followed initially the arch wiki, using the suggested 'huawei-e220.tar.gz' and the program
'usb_modeswitch' from 'http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/' without success.

At the end I got it working after I found the correct wvidal.conf script here:
(I didn't need to use the huawei-e220 or modeswitch program)

http://polishlinux.org/linux/ubuntu/thr … ntu-linux/

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99#
Username = three
Password = three
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB1
Dial Command = ATDT
Baud = 9600

[Dialer three]
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATE0 V1 &D2 &C1 S0=0 +IFC=2,2
Init5 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","3internet"
ISDN = 0
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800

The only thing I have to do is

modprobe usbserial
modprobe ppp-generic
wvdial or wvdial three

The only problem I have sometimes is that I get the wrong DNA server (starting with 10.xx). A simple re-dial usual does the trick.
It also seems that the E169 modem works on three.uk with linux.
Hope this helps

Re: Huawei E220 working with Arch / on three.uk(HP mini note 2133)

Sorry small error in the script. You have to use both times

/dev/ttyUSB0

in both sections of the wvdial.conf (Dialer Defaults and Dialer three) script (not /dev/ttyUSB1).


# cat /etc/wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99#
Username = three
Password = three
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Dial Command = ATDT
Baud = 9600

[Dialer three]
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATE0 V1 &D2 &C1 S0=0 +IFC=2,2
Init5 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","3internet"
ISDN = 0
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800

Above conf working spot on for me here on three with an e220 too;
Installed huawei-e220 from aur, copied above config (watch the quotes, they didn't copy correctly for whatever reason), dial, add a route and a dns server and hey Tesco I'm up.

Thanks for the above anyway, it helped me big_smile
Looks like there's quite a bit other other stuff you *might* need to do, judging by the wiki, but this was fine for me.

Hi,

I'm using E169 and that script. Everything is fine, modem is connected ( blue or green light), but there's no internet.
Neither by Firefox nor pacman.

Is there anything else I need to add to that script?

Thanks for help.
