   I'm trying to connect with Huawei K3765 (aka E180) 3G modem.

   Tried wvdial as well as gnome-ppp - still can't connect. I can't use Sakis3G as it doesn't support (W)CDMA.

   lsusb:
   Bus 001 Device 007: ID 12d1:1520 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. K3765 HSPA
   ...

   lsmod:
   cdc_acm 11772 0
   option 12686 0
   usb_wwan 5912 1 option
   usbserial 20632 2 option,usb_wwan
   ...

   ls /dev
   ttyUSB0 -> /dev/usbdev1.7
   ...

   tazhw setup 3g-modem
   COMMAND OPTIONS: 3g-modem

   Any ideas?

   What does uname -a say?

   You can also still use sakis3g to switch the device (press 3 at the menu to see the other options), then just use gnome-ppp to connect. I've done this before with an CDMA modem.

   That was a good call - thanks! I am now connecting through my 3G modem :)
   I used sakis3g for preparation, and then wvdial to connect. (gnome-ppp somehow doesn't detect my modem).
   I am now writing a script to automate the process. Looks like it will be easy as sakis supports automation.

   Also: you asked for uname -a
   Linux eee 2.6.37-slitaz #2 SMP Wed Mar 7 10:36:39 CET 2012 i686 GNU/Linux

   P.S. Maybe you also know how to enable cpufreq/speedstep on Intel Atom N270 ? :)

   Thanks

   Not really, but this old forum post by kultex might be useful:

   I am also using Huawei modem. This is common problem. Update your device for once and then re-install the software. Befor doin all you should run scan for once.

   If you can not recognize your device, then run troubleshooting. http://www.techyv.com/questions/why-my-modem-can-t-detected

   *sigh* It has nothing to do with the device designer like Huawei, Option and ZTE. I can name nearly 300 device models that work perfectly fine with Linux and my version of Sakis3g.

   What it has to do with is the NETWORK that provided the sim card for the device. Either Sakis3g doesn't have the network listed (it has over 150 network settings from around the world built-in) or it's a CDMA network. And guess what? Sakis3g can STILL help. For unlisted networks you can force the settings for that network in /etc/sakis3g.conf and you can use sakis3g to switch the modem with CDMA networks, then using gnome-ppp to connect.

   And yes, I did see your post about the N70. It works the moment you plug in the phone. It loads the driver automatically and puts it under /dev/ttyACM0 - which you can use with a dialer program like gnome-ppp.
