I have a 3G modem working on my Q7 (Modem is a Huawei E220)
THIS IS FOR THE `3` NETWORK IN THE UK, modify to suit your provider.
OK, I belive that I am now running @ HSDPA speeds. I had to modify /etc/gnome-ppp.conf to add the necessary settings to the beginning of the file.
Name = HSDPA
User = three
Pass = three
Init2= ATZ
Init3 = ATE0 V1 &D2 &C1 S0=0 +IFC=2,2
Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","three.co.uk"
Phone = *99#
End
When you run gnome-ppp select` HSDPA`from the list, (the next part `in red` may not be required to get full speed) then click `OK`then click the `settings` button (middle) click `detect` button, select 460800 from the `speed` dropdown, `phone line` should be `tone`, click `close`, click `connect`. With any luck it should work
Part of the problem I believe with other modems is that they have a 'USB memory' part to them as well as a modem, this then auto loads the Windows software on a Windows PC. Linux cannot see past this and that's why they don't work. My guess is, if you could erase the drive on a Windows PC it should then work OK on a Linux device.
