9.10 karmic, Huawei E169 3G broadband modem, 2.6.31-15-generic kernel - works!

[madmax75]

I have a Huawei E169 3G broadband modem dongle and it stopped working when I upgraded 9.04 to 9.10.

I did manage to get Huawei to work with dj-toonz's magical solution, and today I updated the kernel to 2.6.31-15-generic - and voila! Huawei E169 works without magical spells!

The new kernel is in proposed updates, so you have to check that in your Synaptic settings first.

Could you please send me the deb files with the 2.6.31-15-generic kernel. A colleague of mine here at work needs them to use his Huawei 3G dongle. Otherwise, he's connectionless
I'm on a Windows box here, so I can't get them off Synaptic

I can confirm that this works perfectly. Thanks!

I tried to update the kernel but many 'failed' attempts to download and install various upgrades although I have everything ticked off in the repository. If anyone has a suggestion why this would be happening please pass it on. I think I reloaded the repositories too.

Also could someone possible send me the deb files also for the new kernel so that I can just install them (if that is possible)

Many thanks

Doesn't work on E220 FYI

[pdc]

what happens with the 220 Peter?

can you type

tail -f /var/log/messages

in a terminal when connecting with the 220? The initial config in network manager went well, did it?

You configured as per the "Create a mobile broadband connection" section of this link

hello all,
please can someone send me or place a link for the deb?
I'm also without connection with E169 and the kernel update seems to be a solution...

thanks

[daka]

I updated kernel also through synaptic but my Huawei E220 still does not work. If anyone has further suggestions please pass them on.

huewei eg162g modem works fine with jaunty and karmic , just insert it and a new window will pop up asking you for your service provider...
you can alternatively connect using pppconfig commands e.g. pon orange where orange is the service provider you have configured with the pppconfig in the terminal...
