Hello,
I am searching for an internet usb surf-stick (umts) that works under CentOS. Is anyone using such a stick and if so, which chip has this usb-stick?
Would a Huawei E160E chip work under CentOS? Or maybe under CentOS with the 2.6.35 kernel from elrepo? Thank you very much!
regards Olaf

The best I can tell, a device that is compatable with usb_modeswitch would be necessary:

It looks like arrfab might know how to do this:

E220 and E1550 work with small modifications.
I used 55-e1550.rules with (cant remember where to put it): SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1446", ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", \ RUN+="/usr/bin/usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf"

Interesting thread and thank you for the above link. I will do some studying. The cell phone operators here in Colombia (GSM networks) all sell those things, but they natively work only on Windows and MACs. When our ADSL goes down, it would be nice to have one of those USB sticks, for HSDPA connectivity, as a backup. ------------------------------------------------------ Lanny Our Computer2.com Domain Name is For Sale on Sedo.com

I used this here for a while. But now I have Android 2.2 mobile phone and it has wireless tethering (phone acts like wireless AP and redirects to 3G/4G/gprs network) so all I have to do is to (Set an ESSID,) turn it ON and connect my laptop via wireless to the phone.
