Hi All,
I saw some comments saying that the E220 problem also occurs with E620. Well, it seems that there are two different E620.
I have a E620 (a PCMCIA card) that it is seen by the kernel as a USB Device:
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem
It worked out-of-the-box with no problem, also in live CD. ;-)
However, today I was showing Ubuntu 9.10 to a friend that has a E220 (vendor=0x12d1, product=0x1003) and I wanted to show that Ubuntu works with her USB Internet stick, even before installing it.
Well, bad luck and -1 eventual future ubuntu fan girl.
In fact, with this E220 device, the kernel see a memory device and not a modem.
I didn't try hard to circumvent the problem because Ubuntu was running in live CD and she didn't want to install it .... for now.
