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

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 This post is interesting to me as I have the E270 USB stick.

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). Just want to add:

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

I got the E870, this sorted me out on the getting going front, however it didn't help me all the way. I needed this initialization string, too: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","open.internet" It basically sets the missing APN, if not already present in the card. In regards to knetworkmanager, there is a solution: Forget the wvdial bit. Create the connection in /etc/network/interfaces like this: iface ppp0 inet ppp provider huawei-e220 pre-up /usr/local/bin/huaweiAktBbo-i386.out Either you reboot the machine after that, or you do a "/etc/init.d/dbus restart" and knetworkmanager or gnome-network-manager should have picked the ppp session up.
