HUAWEI USB MODEM INSTALL BT4
continuing from parrotfaces tutorial

Later modems [ those that can accept a memory card] these require “switching “ to detach the memory card .to do this we need usb_modeswitch .
A list of supported modems can be found here:-

Draisberghof - Software - USB_ModeSwitch

code: modeswitch
wget http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modes...-1.1.2.tar.bz2
sudo tar jxvf usb-modeswitch-1.1.2.tar.bz2
cd usb-modeswitch-1.1.2
sudo make install

code: modeswitch-data
wget http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modes...100418.tar.bz2
sudo tar jxvf usb-modeswitch-data-20100418.tar.bz2
cd usb-modeswitch-data-20100418
sudo make install

The next thing we need is sakis3g. This is a connection manager
which configures the modem , and makes the network connection .

code: sakis

wget "http://www.sakis3g.org/versions/latest/sakis3g.gz"
gunzip sakis3g.gz
chmod +x sakis3g
./sakis3g --interactive

to start the connection , open a terminal , type “ ./sakis3g --interactive “
follow the on-screen prompts .


Auto dial icon on the task-bar [works with older/newer modems]

right click task-bar select this from the fly out menu
/add application to panel /non-KDE application
button title = give it a name eg 3G
icon = pick an icon from the menu
executable = wvdial or ./sakis3g --interactive
command line = put " / " in the box
tick the box next to “ run in terminal window “

Thats it you now should have a working 3g connection in bt4 .

Thanks for the tutor. It's work on my machine....
