Support was added for the e200 into Kernal 2.6.20 so it should work out of the box.

Have a look into WVDial or if your on the Vodafone network:

Vodafone Mobile Connect Card driver for Linux is a GPRS/UMTS/HSDPA device manager written in Python, licensed under the GPL. Features: Data call handling Send/Receive SMS SIM phone book management Graphical user interface using GTK

I am also trying to get e220 on BT.

I know you said your not on vf but here is an example of a wvdial.conf that can be used as a template things will need to be changed like Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","vfinternet.au" and other things. Hopfully this gives you something to work with.

try
~#nano /etc/wvdial.conf or wherever your wvdial.conf is.
navigate with arrow keys
save with ctrl+x Y enter.

I am having trouble installing wvdial. i have installed wvstreams-4.4.1.tar.gz and wvdial-1.60.tar.gz but when i try bt ~ # wvdialconf, i get error
wvdialconf: error while loading shared libraries: libwvstreams.so.4.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
I know where the libwvstreams.so.4.4 file is how can i show wvdial where it is, or does it need to be installed to somewhere particular?

What did you do to install wvdial on BT?

[Dialer 3g] this could also be [Dialer Defaults]

Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Stupid Mode = 1

hey guys,

I have a eee 901 which has an huwaei e620 3.5G modem, built in,

Currently runs perfectly in my primary os, eeebuntu but i cannot get it to start in BT3

Just wondered if anyone else has had the same issue and how you may have resolved it.

NB. I am running BT3 from a SD Card and have not et up persistent changes.

I would be happy to install BT3 as long as the huwaei works as I need it for my travels.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use umtsmon to dial up its very easy and convenient and it displays your signal strength etc.

http://umtsmon.sourceforge.net/

I had troubles compiling umtsmon in bt3 so I'l also provide a link for a working binary...

you will have to disable "Replace default route" or something to get it working in bt3. Just setup a profile and untick "Replace Default Route" and your good to go

There was an old issue with 2.6.20 and those modems if I recall correctly as they have the memory card slot on the side old kernels pick them up as storage devices instead of a modem.

Check out this link for more info..

Hope this helps
