I have a 3 network USB broadband mobile dongle, according to the packaging it is
a Huawei E156G, if I plug it in and do a lsusb it comes up with the following:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 12d1: 1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd E220 HSDPA
Modem / E270 HSDPA/HSUPA modem
It one of those which has a built USB storage device for the drivers etc. under
windows\mac
I have followed these instructions[1] but when I try to connect I get the
following in the login script window:
ATZ
OK
ATM1L3
OK
ATDT
ERROR
AT the bottom of the Login script window it say
Expecting :OK
The connection box just say dialing
Using kppp I have set the modem to ttyusb0 and if I use the query modem button
in kppp it seems to talk to the modem
I am using Mepis 8 (Debian lenny base) and have tried the same setup in kbuntu
9.04 on the same laptop
Any suggestion ?
