Description:

This script can be used to dial out using wvdial on Huawei E220. The problem this device have with Linux is that the modem doesn’t behave expectedly if the usb_storage module is loaded. The script tries to unload conflicting modules first before dialing.

Script:

#!/bin/bash

# Change the Dialer in your /etc/wvdial.conf
DIALER="huawei220" 

sudo modprobe -r uhci_hcd
sudo modprobe uhci_hcd

echo "Waiting kernel to detect modem device"

# Wait till the kernel recognizes our E220
while [ ! -c /dev/ttyUSB1 ]; do
        sleep 1
done

# Start dialing
sudo wvdial $DIALER
