new versions of NetworkManager has support for 3G connections and has the ISPs of SL already in the database you can create the connection from that easily.

Almost all 3G dongles are now identified by the linux kernel so plugging in the Dongle will be enough.

Bro some huawei models are identified by ubuntu as storage devices so u have to change it to a modem-BTW what is your modem model? mostly this problem is with e1550. other newer modems are quite ok with ubuntu

for e 1550, do this

for 8.10 you need udev-extras, you don’t need this for 10.04 onwards:
sudo apt-get install udev-extras

Add a udev rule:
gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/15-huawei-e1550.rules

What we’re doing is telling udev that when this device is plugged in to switch its mode. Paste this and save:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",
SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446",
SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1",
RUN+="/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch --vendor 0x12d1 --product 0x1446 --type option-zerocd"

[stefan_86]

U still haven't mention u r ubuntu version bro...

E220 works fine with 9.10 and 10.04 after creating a network connection.

For 9.04 u have to use wvdial...!

and make sure u r modem is detected use "lsusb" or "dmesg | grep modem"

upgrade to 9.10 and then upgrade to 10.4
Your dongle will work without having to do any configurations.
