Problem Installing HSDPA modem HUAWEI E156G in Lenny

I've got problem with my Debian Lenny while i try to install HSDPA modem HUAWEI E156G. What Should I do to get the device work well

thanks....

What is the problem exactly? what have you done...? and don't forget to post your lsusb here.

the modem is only support for Windows XP, Vista, n Mac.
when i plugged my modem in to my computer the device is only detected, but there is no driver to run it well. so I can connect my computer to internet..
please help

thank you

Sorry for late reply...

Well can you post dmesg message after plugging the modem device...? you need to insert the message in [code][/code] so it is easy to follow...

You need also to post lsusb message...:)

PS: I am just testing the current feature...I am using Windows now...

ls "list segments" is a shell (xterm/console) command

To my surprise, the PCMCIA card is treated by the Linux kernel as a USB device (huh).

Neccessary kernel module is "usbserial"
and additionaly "option" wich seem to work with huawei K3715 (e180v) also. (http://www.option.com/)
To see if they are loaded use

Code:

(sudo (if in non-root-mode)) lsmod | grep usbserial

and

Code:

lsmod | grep option

at a console/xterm.
If the output stays empty you have to load them by

Code:

(sudo) modprobe usbserial

and

Code:

modprobe option

Further you need the programs "nm-applet"+"nm-connection-editor" or "pupdial" for example.
These programs normaly need "wvdial".
They can be installed by "(sudo) apt-get install wvdial" and "wget wvdial".
The APN has to be googled. INIT-script for wvdial/pupdial or nm-connection-editor are found here also on LQ.
