Hello,
Can anyone help please?
I have a 3g USB modem running in Ubuntu 7.10.
I got it working (works fine) by following and slightly modifying some
instructions that I found plus an edit to wvdial.conf. I didn't
really understand any of this but it works!(the noob method)
I have no stats yet so no idea of signal strength or data volume.
Problem is that 'buntu doesn't see it as an interface which means that
the firewall does not start.
I run wvdial in a terminal whilst connected.
ifconfig gives me:

Amazing! This is the first time I've seen it listed as ppp0, it used
to be eth0:avah. must be the new kernel in ubuntu 7.10.
Whilst connected wvdial shows:

Oops! Having just checked firestarter setup again it now shows ppp0!!
Must be the update to 7.10
I'll post this anyway to keep you all amused.
See you at Keele

Looks like you got quite far! That IP looks familiar - is it a tmobile web-n-walk card?
Did you use any specific drivers for it?

Its a simfree 3g modem that seems to be used by all the main companies. Im
not sure what sim card Stuart is using, but it may be a T.

Matthew,

I think these two links cover it. Mine used to be ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1
(XP sees it as two devices as well when you install Huawei s'ware.)
iface before new kernel was "eth0:avah" but now is "ppp0"
I've found an app to give stats now but it's a "tar bz ./confuse
make&&make mess thingy" so have to do some loin-girding before
tackling that!
My hardware is a Huawei E220 usb modem. It's been unlocked so will
work with any sim, these things are locked to the system during
manufacturer's setup so require a firmware flash.
I want to use it on the boat all summer so can't be stuck with a UK
sim paying roaming charges.
Yes, it's a Tmob payg sim in it at the moment.
In gprs coverage it's hopeless 6KB/sec ( OK for mail) but with umts I
get 50KB/sec d'load - just like early home bband!
Huawei claim that it'll handle 4g so should be good when that starts.

PCMCIA cards are simple to unlock and there's plenty of Linux
info on running them.
