Configuring the Huawei E220 modem

[060456F]

I want to configure the Huawei E220 modem I recently bought in Fedora 10. I read lot of detail documents in the internet. All were interesting and explaining the wvdial.conf file. The problem I have is that, the file asks for the phone # to dial, username & a password. I don't have these information since my ISP didn't provide those.
It works perfectly in Windows, in which above information are not needed, because when plugged in Windows, a software installation launches, which does the job to connect to the internet.
So, is there a way to configure the modem to connect to the internet without those information. Because my ISP refuses to provide those, when I called there customer services.

Here is a finnish linux wiki page http://linux.fi/index.php/Huawei_E220/E270 that describes what to do. It seems the biggest issue is that the pin query is causing a fault so if possible (this is apparently the easiest way) remove the sim and put it in a phone and in the phone remove the pin querying and then put the sim back in the phone.

Try and run the page through google translate and see if you can get any more info from there

I don't understand finnish. Anyway thank for your quick reply. I want to clarify one thing. Do I really doesn't need the phone # to dial, username & password as in Windows to configure the modem and connect to the internet?

Got it!!

Finally got it working. It's just plug & play. But previously I couldn't find this. The network manager did the job. It recognizes the modem & allow me to configure. Fedora auto configures it as in Windows but in more quicker way. Because it didn't want the "Mobile Partner" software installation, which is needed in Windows. Great stuff.. Just a click allowed me to connect.
