SoulSe Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I have a E220 with me at the moment, but I haven't tried it in Linux. It works well in OS X though, so that gives me hope. When I have a moment I'll see if I can get it up and running and let you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Well the most useful bit of info I've found so far is over here. The main problem with the E220 is that it is both a storage device and modem. But if you have a recent Linux kernel this is not a problem. The modem portion is set up as a generic serial device and can then be addressed via a dialler such as wvdial. I could probably get it working in Gentoo, but this would unfortunately not help with Mandriva much, since the Mandriva kernel is a law unto itself. Use the link above and Google, and let us know what you find ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blaa-oejet Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 well.. the only really usefull site i've found was this: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/archive/index.php/t-21726.html but but but ehm i dont know how to use all that commandline stuff.. so it ****s up all the time.. isn't there a GUI-way to do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 isn't there a GUI-way to do this Not really, no. But don't be afraid of the CLI - it really isn't that daunting and at some stage in your Linux experience you are going to have to do it. Give it a try - we're here to help when you get stuck ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OOZIE Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi! I've just tested HUAWEI E220 on Mandriva Free2007Spring with kernel 2.6.17. Well, it works for me. 1. Mandriva users need to install wvdial and make. 2. Once you do that, go to this website: http://oozie.fm.interia.pl/pro/huawei-e220/ 3. Download huawei.tar.bz2, 4. ... and from command line do the following: $ tar xjvf huawei.tar.bz2 $ cd huawei $ su # make install_mandriva ... and follow GUI instructions. I hope it helps! Best Regards, OOZIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
