From: daniele tavella on 8 May 2010 16:00 I'm new on Debian. I use Ubuntu 9.04, an I found it easy. I would like use Debian, but for internet connection I use an internet key Huawey E169, and Debian 5.04 can't manage it. I'm not good on computer, but I hope someone helps me.

I don't have Huawei E169 myself and never experienced configuring it under Debian, but I googled a little and found out that there was same topic in debian-russian recently. Here's translated (also little shorted and modified) "recipe for success": > After installation if this program[1] I configured kppp to work with ttyUSB0 > with all standard options except right initialization strings: > ATZ;ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0; > AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","3g.utel.ua" > > and also added DNS addresses by Utel. I also added them to /etc/resolv.conf > and set 'i' attribute for both files by envoking this command: > > $ chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf > $ chattr +i /etc/ppp/resolv.conf > > � http://www.greenhughes.com/content/huawei-e169g-easy-way Some notes: Please pay attention to the name of device - this guy tried to work with ttyUSB2, which was an error because ttyUSB2 was card-reader or something). Also note that author configured his device for Utel provider, so initializing string may differ. And the last one: it was suggested to install resolvconf package instead of locking resolv.conf files (you can simply forget that you made this file not avaliable for editing, which can cause a lot of problems in future). In addition it was proposed to modify /etc/network/interfaces to look like the following (it's just a part of file): inet utel inet wvdial dns-nameservers DNS1 DNS2 Hope that will help you. -- Regards, Alexander Batischev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It uses mobile phone network to access. Key looks just like usual USB pendrive, but it have place for SIM card (which is similar to your mobile phone's card). I think you can find more detailed (and professional) explanation on the Internet. -- Regards, Alexander Batischev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
