#ALL HUAWEI USB DONGLE WINDOWS#
When inserted into a Ubuntu OS, it is immediately detected as a SCSI/CDROM type bulk storage device, and the files that are used by Windows appear attached to the filesystem similar to any other USB storage device.Ĭlose any window that might be showing you those files. The Huawei E220 can be a USB 'dongle' for HSDPA connection through (for me, anyway) the Vodaphone network.
#ALL HUAWEI USB DONGLE DRIVERS#
You can use modconf to load usbserial drivers with card vendor & id as arguments (if you don't want to #modprobe each time).Īlso, you can use some of the available scripts from PHARscape, particularly related to Wvdial usage, and eventually simple ln -s softlink from ttyUSB0 to modem and wvdial with 'internet' argument get you online and jumping for joy. Modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003 Modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1001 Startup script with the following (or a variant thereof): modprobe usb-ohci Quite a rigmarole, but I suppose if you have an existing USB chip, and PCMCIA-to-USB chips are cheap, it's an easy way to go.

The PCMCIA devices appear to have a PCMCIA-to-USB chip, then link to the usb on board modem chip. The USB storage device that's built-in has the Windows drivers, quite clever really, a device that carries its own drivers with it! Which is presumably why the device is seen as being storage when it is plugged in, on Windows machines it then auto runs the drivers that do the rest.

This can be tricky, one suggestion is to disable usb_storage, not much use if you are using USB memory sticks! A solution that works is to use usb-modeswitch. The USB one simply presents as a usb-serial device, provided you tell your kernel to ignore the usb-storage device that it also presents, and treat it as usb-serial. The USB device doesn't appear to need any particular new driver. You can then dial the modem with: wvdial hsdpa Configuration files for pppd and Wvdial are included below. You should find three /dev/ttyUSB* devices directly after you plug E220 into a USB port. The following need to be compiled into the kernel (this does work) or available as modules: CONFIG_PPP The Huawei E220 (also called vodem) is an external 3.6Mbps HSDPA USB modem.Į220 is supported natively in Linux kernels 2.6.20 and later, using the usbserial.ko (usbserial-generic interface) module.Īlso usb_storage.ko is aware of HUAWEI E220 modem and no further action needs to be taken.
