I have 3G internet stick, Tele2 Huawei MF190. Now, when I connect it with Ubuntu, Debian etc., it asks me for my PIN and I just choose my provider and everything works great.

Now, when I do the same thing on other Linux distributions (I think it was Arch, Gentoo) it's not working out-of-the-box. Now, what library I actually need to have for this to work?

Why? I'm going to try making my own distro (just-for-learning) from LinuxFromStratch project and I want to be sure to include this library for 3G Internet sticks.

Thank you all! :)

  • What sort of troubleshooting have you tried on other distributions? – admdrew Sep 16 '13 at 19:59
  • None, I really don't know where to start with this problem. I figured out I need some libraries because on Ubuntu and Debian it works out-of-the-box. xD – NullCod3 Sep 16 '13 at 20:13

You need to setup usb-modeswitch.

Couple of general guides explaining how to configure it are available here and here.

Also this discussion explains the exact steps needed to get Huawei MF190 working on Linux with the help of usb-modeswitch.
