Huawei E220

OK, I have this modem and I cannot make it work unless I remove the usb_storage module. I suppose that I have a problem with usb_modeswitch, but I do not know what it might be.
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem / E230/E270/E870 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem
Seems to show that it is set up as a modem, so I am not sure what is wrong and how to proceed.
I notice that when I plug the modem in the module usb_storage is reloaded.
Any help would be appreciated
Andrew

I removed usb_modeswitch and there is no change to the device vendor/product id shown in lsusb, modemmanager in networkmanager now shows the Mobile Broadband tab with the modem connection (which I created when the usb_storage module was removed before) but there is no Mobile Broadband listed under Interfaces. The module usb_storage is still installed. wvdialconf does NOT find the modem although /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 have been created. Removing usb_storage allows wvdialconf to find the modem at /dev/ttyUSB0 and shows Mobile Broadband in the Interfaces list.
After reinstalling usb_modeswitch, the findings are exactly the same.
Here is all the information I have:
I have installed networkmanager 0.9.4.0-4 modemmanager 0.5.2.0-2 usb_modeswitch 1.2.3-1 and wvdial 1.61-4
If I plug in the modem I see:
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem / E230/E270/E870 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem
which, to me, says that it has been recognised and switched to a modem.
In network manager the Mobile Broadband tab remained greyed out until I rmmod'ed usb_storage and filled inthe details, now it exists but the Modem is not listed under Interfaces.
For wvdial I get, variously:

How to configure the rc.conf for a HUAWEI E220 modem

Hello.
I configured my HUAWEI E220 after the instructions in the wiki, and it's working well. BUT, I can't connect to the internet. I think that is because i didn't made any modifications at the network configurations in the rc.conf file. I don't know what to change. What should I write in it (i know that i can't use eth0 anymore, but what is the right interface for HUAWEI, ppp0, ttyUSB0...)? Thank you.

I knocked together an RC script to start and stop the connection, which is ppp0
from it:
/usr/bin/wvdial three &> /dev/null &
route add default gw 10.64.64.64 &> /dev/null &
rm /etc/resolv.conf
echo nameserver 208.67.222.222 >> /etc/resolv.conf
perhaps this helps?

Firmware updated, now I can´t use Huawei E220 modem

I´m at the end of my tether.
I have an i-mac running OSX 10.4.8 if I remember correctly.
Yesterday (2nd October 2007) my mac downloaded a firmware update.
I let it install the firmware update and then when I tried to get on the net with my Huawei E220 modem it no longer worked.
I deleted the vodafone mobile connect program, used my windows xp laptop (with my Huawei E220 modem) to download the mac installation software for the modem, and re-installed the modem on my mac, but I still have the same problem:
I click on the vodafone mobile connect icon and the icon starts bouncing up and down... but it doesn´t open the programme window, and doesn´t respond - it´s the first crash I´ve ever seen on the Mac. I don´t know a lot about macs and need help with this problem - I even shut the mac down, and turned it on again holding the "on" button in, incase there had been a problem with the firmware. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? please?
MacIgnoramos.

doh! even a pc user probably could have told me how to do this:
1) uninstall vodafone modem program "using the proper uninstall option of the program" - i.e. not simply dragging the icon to the trash can.
2) re-install.
3) sit back, and enjoy the mac again.

Huawei E220 strange issue running 10.6.2

Hi, I'm testing the Huawei E220 with a brand new Macbook Air running 10.6.2.
My provider is Vodafone IT.
I have a very strange Issue:
If I start the connection the Macbook Air suddenly shuts down a few seconds after the connection has been established. If I leave the modem connected to the usb port without activating a connection nothing happens.
Has anyone had this same problem??
This mac works perfectly with any other HSPDA usb modem.
Vodafone posted a new software for mac (Vodafone Mobile Broadband 3.04.10.00). This link can be useful (not only for Italy) because it is constantly updated:
http://www.business.vodafone.com/site/bus/public/enuk/support/10productsupport/laptop_connectivity/40_software/software/10_latest/pmac.jsp

my friends 13" mbp is also having trackpad problems. I plugged in an old usb trackball and that seems to to at least get me so I can run a hardware test off the applications dvd.

Cannot connect to internet with huawei e220 after plugged in Ipod touch

Guys, I have serious problem. I have a vodafone (spain) branded huawei E220 usb 3G modem. It used to work fine until i plugged in my Ipod touch. From then on the connecting app (Vodafone Mobile Connect) will hung up using 55% of CPU capacity.
This is the second time i have this problem. the first time i took the opportunity to uninstall mac osx completely. It worked fine until i plugged in the Ipod touch???? I cannot get this thing running anymore...The problem lies not within the modem as it works under XP on same machine (bootcamp)
Any help would much appreciated!

I had the same issue with vodafone sofware.Just delete it and download the huawei app from this link.
It will work great.

Hi AFU;
Since your question pertains to networking, you might have better luck if instead of posting it here for questions on using Leopard, you posted it in the Networking Forum instead

Huawei E220 HSDPA USB modem on MacBook Pro

Hello
I'm trying to get the Huawei E220 usb modem to work on my MacBook Pro, but without luck so far. When I plug it in, nothing happens (except for a green LED blinking on the modem), but it doesn't appear anywhere in the system preferences / networking settings.
I tried to find some software for macos for this modem, without luck ... there is a dashboard application from Vodafone (Mobile Connect), but it is available for PPC only.
On the other hand, I found quite a few resources on the internet that mentioned that this modem should work on a MacBook Pro, which is why I got it in the first place.
Does anyone have a hint.. maybe? Please?

Plug in the modem when computer is on WAIT klick on the installt the software screen to run the software from the modem,(mine Huawei E220 from ,3.dk)install the software WAIT, type in the phone number when requered(if required), my standard password when i start the modem is 1234 you can change that(or use old ), and then connect to the internet manuelly(automatic if it is set up for that), dont connect the modem to the internet, if you want to adjust the modem so it vill start connecting automatic or to make other adjustments my computer L40-18R

Problems with Vodafone/Huawei E220 wireless usb Modem

Hi there,
My faithful Powerbook is having issues with a company issued Vodafone Vodem (Huawei E220 wireless HSDPA 3G USB modem).
It worked well at first, but then after restarting, waking from sleep or rebooting from off, the Vodem would cease to connect to Vodafone, with the Vodafone Modem Software giving me a cryptic message "No modem or data card attached".
Yesterday, I tried reinstalling and uninstalling the software, and after several installation/uninstallations, it finally reconnected. It has since stopped working again since shutting down the Powerbook overnight. Reinstalling has not yet worked.
I read somewhere on the net that leaving the modem plugged in for a minute before attempting to connect might work - alas no such luck.
Has anyone else out there had problems with their Vodafone/Huawei E220 USB wireless modem, and how did you resolve the problem?
I have tried both the New Zealand 2.07 version, plus the European 2.08 version of the Vodafone connectivity software.
I am running a Powerbook 15", 1.67ghz, MacOS 10.4.11, 512MB, no other peripherals connected.

No experience, but what happens if you log out then back in?
Does a New User have that problem?

hi
I'm using a vodem on my Intel mac book and never even use the software vodafone provide as it is clunky, slow and unreliable.
i used it once to set up the connection and from then on have simply connected through system preferences:network: and connect the huawei modem from there. it even gives you the option of having an icon in your top tool bar.
hope this helps
cheers

Struggling to connect by Huawei E220 3G modem

Hey there!
I got one of those 3G modems that are quite common still where I live. Now I had it up and running perfectly fine in Ubuntu thanks to the sorcery of NetworkManager Applet 0.7.0.

I tried putting this here instead but without success, however I think it's crucial that I put this somewhere:
search bredband.tre.se
nameserver 80.251.201.177
nameserver 80.251.201.178
In Ubuntu NetworkManager automagically put this stuf in /etc/resolv.conf for me, but it doesn't seem to make a difference here?
Well then there's of course the /etc/wvdial.conf file:
thoht@ratatosk: ~> cat /etc/wvdial.conf
[Dialer hsdpa]
Phone = *99#
Username = foo
Password = blargh
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 460800
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
If I leave username and password empty the program gets pissed, but I don't actually have a username, nor PIN (activated).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

About your resolv.conf copy/pasting - /etc/ppp/resolv.conf and ip-up:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=62520
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=62004
I think its time for me to add that to the wiki... if its not already there.
Thou I don't know if it solves your problem in this case, since you said you edited the resolv.conf.
EDIT: Posted too fast again. I just saw this
--> primary DNS address 80.251.192.244
--> secondary DNS address 80.251.192.245
search bredband.tre.se
nameserver 80.251.201.177
nameserver 80.251.201.178
Same? Purposely put different DNS? /etc/ppp/resolv.conf

Using Huawei E220 and Airport at the same time?

I use a Huawei E220 USB-modem to connect to internet. I also have a Time Capsule with a wireless network, but it's not connected to internet.
When I acivate Airport to connect to Time Capsule, Internet Connection decides to overlook my Huawei connection and dub the AirPort network as my internet connection. Even if there is no internet there. How can I convince Internet Connection to use the Huawei for internet if it is connected?
I don't have this problem on my 10.5 MacBook. Thanks! Joachim

Use the options in System Preferences -> Network to set the service order (via the buttons in the lower left corner) such that the USB modem is above the AirPort interface. That way the OS will use that interface first while still using the AirPort to talk to the Time Capsule on its separate network.

Error when connect huawei e220 on macbook pro

any one can help me...does e220 compatible with macbook pro ?

I wrote a howto that applies to t-mobile in the UK however it can be adapted to be used with any provider. you just need to know your providers APN, dial string and username and password (a username and password is not always necessary)
I have the HUAWEI mobile E220.
Using the drivers that came with my T-mobile webnwalk pack it worked first time in leopard.
You can get the drivers from my dot mac space
http://homepage.mac.com/timhaigh/E220_Drivers.zip
Once installed you can use the HuaweiDataCardApp to set your APN.
I don't require anyother 3rd party software to make the conneciton.
I went to SystemPreferences-->Network-->Location -->Edit Locations
click the +
I added HSDPA as my location name.
Then I chose add configuration
I called it 'T-Mobile'
I used *99# as the telephone number
my provider does not require me to use a username and password so I left that blank.
I checked 'show modem status in menubar'
Then click Advanced.
click the modem tab
Vendor:Other
Model: Huawi Mobile Connect
I have enabled error correction checked
Dial mode 'ignore dial when dialing'
Then click the PPP tab
Settings:configuration
uncheck 'send PPP echopackets'
Then click ok
then Apply
Now to engage the connection I plug in the usb modem wait for the green or blue light to flash.
I goto the menubar modem icon and choose Connect HuawaiMobile
This works.
Now to monitor my modem signal, usage etc I use cheetahwatch

Good luck

Huawei E220 and Macbook air

When I plug my E220 into my Air I get an error message that the Air cannot recognise the drive. If I plug the same E220 into my iMac it works and connects fine. The same Huawei software is loaded on both machines. Any ideas?

Hi,
I am experiencing the same. While the modem is connected it generates logs (as mentioned before) into /var/log/system like this:

May 30 11:19:37 *-MacBook kernel[0]: ::AddtoQueue: Exit, Return: 81.

it is quite annoying as the file grows and HD keeps writing the data continuously.
Neither of the mentioned methods helped - disconnecting/reconnecting the modem, restarting the computer nor reinstalling the driver.
I have googled the internet for possible solution, but only thing I was able to found was this forum and one more with unanswered question
Any hints how to fix the problem?

[SOLVED]Problem with Huawei E220 USB Modem

Hi all.
I've try to install a E220 modem in my Arch Laptop, but i have a problem i can't get a ppp interface.
I've done this:
1.- lsusb
BUS ==> Bus 001 Device 008: ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem / E230/E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem

pacman -S wvdial usb_modeswitch ppp
3.- Configure wvdial
[Dialer Jazztel]
Modem Type = Analog Modem

ISDN = 0
Baud = 460800
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Init1 = AT+CPIN=MyPIN
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = at+cgdcont=1,"ip","jazzinternet"
Stupid Mode = 1
4.- Run wvdial
sudo wdial Jazztel
Wvdial Output:

Hi Karol.
I've read that article and i've used mkwvconf to configure my ISP before postting here, but i thought that user and pasword were not necessaries and i was wrong. I've need set Username and Password to empty string.
My configuration is:
[Dialer Jazztel]
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99***1#
ISDN = 0
Baud = 460800
Username = ''
Password = ''
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Init1 = AT+CPIN=MyPIN
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init4 = at+cgdcont=1,"ip","jazzinternet"
Stupid Mode = 1
Now works.
Thanks and best regards.

Huawei e220 is suddenly no longer recognised on mac 10.6

Hi guys,
I've tried all the solutions i can think of concerning my current problem. I've upgraded to Snow Leopard for almost 2 months now and my Huwaei e220 usb modem has been working fine although i have to admit, slower than when i was running Leopard. All of a sudden both my MacBook Pro and Mac mini do not recognize the modem anymore. The modem does not even blink. I've tried all ports on my mac, have installed and uninstalled both the vodacom software(my network carrier in South Africa), and have also tried the modem on a windows XP computer and Vista computer but to no avail. None of the computers pic up the modem. Have also called Vodacom and they concluded i should check my computer. All the ports on my Macs are fine as they pick up all my other devices.
So am asking, has anyone had this issue, if so, did you manage to find a solution. Am just dreading the thought that my only option might be to purchase a new modem and I really need connection now as am completing my postgrad with heavy research over the internet.
I just thought to post this as a last option in case someone has had a similar problem. Any help or advise you can give will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks as i wait in anticipation of your responses.

Hey K T, thanks for the reply. I actually got a new one the same day. I inquired at Vodacom in South Africa here and they confirmed that the modem had packed up. It could be repaired but the cost will be almost as buying a new one so i got a new one. I originally thought it was something to do with my Mac and of cause was trying to see if I could avoid buying a new one.
Thanks again.
Cheers.
