Hi,

If you are receviing a “Voice line detected, Trying again ” pop the sim into another phone, and deactivate the PIN request (or add AT+CPIN=NNNN where N=a number in your pin) this had me baffled for a while.

Needless to say o2 BB Support dismissed me the moment I mentioned linux. I have this running on Fedora now.

This post is interesting to me as I have the E270 USB stick. I cannot get this to work and I was thinking of swaping for an E870 pcmia/Epress card.

Has anyone out there managed to get the USB one working in Hardy Heron Ubuntu ?

Please email wayne@themccances.com with the techie details if you have.

Thanks

Just want to add:

there are different versions of the Huawei E870 out there.

O2’s model need the huaweiAktBbo-i386, because it has the usb-storage drive build in.

Vodafone’s model doesn’t need it, because they didn’t pay for the storage option.

Which model you have, you can usually identify by the fact, that there is a CD in the package (no storage version) or there’s none (like O2).

Thanks Marlow. That’s great and it fills in a few more pieces of the Huawei puzzle!

And additionally, you can also get udev to load the drivers correctly, but using this:

Create a file called: /etc/udev/rules.d/50-huawei-e220.rules

Content:
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idProduct}==”1003″, SYSFS{idVendor}==”12d1″, RUN+=”/usr/local/bin/huaweiAktBbo-i386.out”
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idProduct}==”1003″, SYSFS{idVendor}==”12d1″, RUN+=”/bin/sleep 5″
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idProduct}==”1003″, SYSFS{idVendor}==”12d1″, RUN+=”/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0×12d1 product=0×1003″

This will load the drivers in the correct order, when the card is inserted.

The source for that was a german site: http://linux.frankenberger.at/Huawei_E220.html
