… and used with Tele2 Sweden

STEP 1

I found this installation tip in Swedish for “3″ and for Ubuntu on http://ubuntu-bossieman.blogspot.com/search/label/Huawei I don’t know if this step is necessary but I did this as a first try.

1. I put the chip in my phone and disabled the pin code (it was 0000).
2. Chip back in HUWAEI and started the computer with the HUWAEI in the USB1
3. After being logged in I checked that the HUAWEI wasnt mounted
4. PCLinux OS Control Center
5. Network and Internet
6. Set up a network interface
7. Analog telephone modem
8. Choose /dev/ttyUSB1
9. Unlisted provider - edit manually
10. Added these data according to Ubuntu page:
    Connection name: Tele2
    Phone number: *99#
    Login ID: username
    Password: password
    Authentication: PAP/CHAP
11. Parameters
    Dialup IP parameters: Automatic
    DNS parameters: Automatic
    Dialup IP parameters gateway: Automatic
12. Allow user to manage the connection
13. Choose “Start the connection at boot”

STEP 2

The above measures didn’t work so I looked further and found info on
http://oozie.fm.interia.pl/pro/huawei-e220/

1. I downloaded huawei.tar.bz2 and run this:
   $ tar xjvf huawei.tar.bz2
   $ cd huawei
   $ su
   # make info
2. I provided to move some files from the package to /etc according to the table:
   /etc/wvdial-huawei.conf
   /etc/ppp/peers/huawei-e220
   /etc/chatscripts/huawei-e220.chat
3. After this I tried to connect ppp0 and suddenly it worked

STEP 3

Just for fun I got also he220stat.tar.bz2 and run this:

$ tar xjvf he220stat.tar.bz2
$ cd he220stat*
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install
# xhe220stat

CONCLUSIONS

I don’t know if the step 1 is needed. It is strange that only “username” and “password” is needed. The data settled were chosen for another provider “3″ for Ubuntu and not for mine PCLOS and “Tele2″.

One should maybe find some more intelligent and rapid solutions. But as I don’t want to spoil everything and restart just for fun I let you do the experimenting. I will for sure have to redo this one day…
