This howto explains howto install/use e220 and e169 hsdpa modems in sabayon. Huawei e220 and e169 are supported natively by Linux, over usbserial.ko (usbserial-generic) interface. Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.20 have some problems with it, as the SCSI CDROM fakevolume with drivers for Microsoft systems gets automounted by usbstorage.ko module, preventing serial device /dev/ttyUSB0 from working properly.<br />

1) You need huawei workaround package http://oozie.fm.interia.pl/src/huawei.tar.bz2<br />
<br />
2) Extract package to directory (default is huawei)<br />
<br />
3) Run make generic_install as root<br />
<br />
4) Run make config as root<br />
<br />
Next step is to edit /etc/wvdial.conf with your favourite text editor as root<br />
<br />
Here is sample of my wvdial.conf<br />
<br />
[Dialer Defaults]<br />
<br />
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0<br />
<br />
Baud = 3600000<br />
<br />
Init2 = ATZ<br />
<br />
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2<br />
<br />
Phone = *99#<br />
<br />
Username = ppp<br />
<br />
Password = ppp<br />
<br />
Ask Password = 0<br />
<br />
Dial Command = ATDT<br />
<br />
Stupid Mode = 1<br />
<br />
Compuserve = 0<br />
<br />
Idle Seconds = 0<br />
<br />
ISDN = 0<br />
<br />
Auto DNS = 1<br />
<br />
<br />
When you type wvdial it will connect to internet with full speed as default.<br />
<br />
If you want to connect to internet using gprs only add this also to your wvdial.conf<br />
<br />
[Dialer gprs]<br />
<br />
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0<br />
<br />
Baud = 115200<br />
<br />
Init2 = ATZ<br />
<br />
Init3 = ATE0V1&D2&C1S0=0+IFC=2,2<br />
<br />
ISDN = 0<br />
<br />
Modem Type = Analog Modem<br />
<br />
<br />
To connect internet using gprs only type wvdial gprs<br />
<br />
Enjoy your huawei :)<br />
