I have a Huawei E169 working with puppy-4.1.2. I just opened the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local in a text editor, added the following line:
Code:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1001
Then I used pupdial to probe for the modem. I think I then had problems with wvdial giving a very low connect speed, so I needed to open /etc/wvdial.conf in a text editor, and edit it to have:
Code:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Carrier Check = no
Dial Command = ATDT
Phone = *99#
Username = ppp
Password = ppp
Auto Reconnect = yes
[Dialer isp2]
Phone = MY2ISPPHONENUM
Username = MY2USERNAME
Password = MY2PASSWORD
Auto Reconnect = yes
I then rebooted, and the device is detected OK. Then ran pupdial & connected fine. I used an optus prepaid service, just recently on a train from Sydney to Melbourne, and while there were plenty of places with no signal, it switched from HSPA to GSM seamlessly.
Edit: Instead of relying on memory, I've added my current wvdial.conf, which I'm using to post this using an E169.
