I have just purchased the above mentioned Vodafone dongle it uses a Huawei chipset .
I am trying to get this to behave on OS11.2 64 bit and have seen various bits on the net about getting it to behave .
When plugged in it is seen as a storage device then it is also seen by networkmanager (i use network normally on that machine a laptop) when i try to connect it just sits there doing didely squat .
You need to use usb_modeswitch to make it remember it's a womble^Wmodem. usb_modeswitch-data.
See
"man 1 usb_modeswitch"
and its author's page:

Good luck with the Voda dongle - we (me @Novell and Sebas @open-slx, plus the community) are going to be working a lot on improving 3G device support in KDE NetworkManagement in 11.4, for instance with transfer warnings on a given amount of data. HTH

Hi Will Ok on the usb_modeswitch will have to try that the one thing that i found somewhat confusing is i also have an 3 Dongle now that works fine using utmsmon connects up everything fine but coverage on Three is rubbish , i find it somewhat strange that one will work and the other one will not they both have a drive section that contains the drivers for windows yet the Three one works confusing too say the least very similar chipset as well the Three is an E220 the Vodafone is an E620 Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.34-12-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 2" 13:14 up 15 days 3:11, 2 users, load average: 1.00, 1.08, 0.86 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
