Hi Matthijs!

I've sent this email to Iurgi (who I know since the early years of FON,
when I was working there as web developer) and he told me to write to
you... :-)

I've got an USB 3G dongle and I'd like to use it in my Fonera 2.0N. The
dongle is the one Movistar distributes (a Novatel MC
990D<http://www.movistar.es/particulares/movil/tablets-portatiles/ficha/novatel-mc-990d>
)

As I read at Fonosfera <http://blog.fonosfera.org/2-3-7-0-rc2/>, the RC2 of
v2.3.7.0 (changelog<http://download.fonosfera.org/RC/2.3.7.0_rc2/Changelog.txt>)
could make it works thanks to
usb-modeswitch<http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/#hardware> .
They have this device in their list of supported
devices<http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/device_reference.txt>
(although
your usb-modeswitch version is 1.1.4 and they are in the v1.2.5

Did I "followed the thread" properly? :-) I meant, will the Novatel MC990D
works with the fonera 2.0N with v2.3.7.0 firmware?

If affirmative:

Do I need a powered hub to use de dongle? (a red light blinks at the dongle
when I plug it to the fonera 2.0n)
Do I have to install de RC2 or the stable release "Paco the alpaca"?
Are every setting of the fonera 2.0n erased installing a new firmware?
(public/private SSID, WiFi password, ports config.,  etc)

thank you in advance!
