Of course.

Edit: Just realized you're perhaps not asking if you need a provider, but what provider. You could PM eluis or michalpelszyk for info on that.

Thanks.

With that ID it's already in modem mode, just make sure the serial driver is fired up and understands the id and you should get a ttyUSB0 with any luck.

Edit: the dial string and login info rather depends on your provider. 3 UK were happy to provide that info to me, so you may be in luck with them. I have been successful using 3 with gentoo on my laptop, but have the sim in a phone via bluetooth for N800 access.

If someone gets this, or any other 3G modem (particularly any of AT&T's), I'd love to hear about it. Being able to hook one of these up to my N800, and then (hopefully) put the wifi interface into an access point mode, would be very nice. I'd have my own fully featured version of a cradlepoint router :-)

I got the 3G Modem I have working: It's a Huawei HSDPA modem: http://scratchpost.dreamhosters.com/...ia_N8x0/Modem/

It's not that hard, although you need an external battery to provide power to the modem and that's why I almost never use it on the go (too much to carry).

Hi danny,

Thanks for your info, and the web address you posted was incorrect, the correct one:
http://scratchpost.dreamhosters.com/...ia/N8x0/Modem/

The mistake was the character "_" where should be "/"

I will try with my huawei e220.
