Re: alcatel X220
Hello, CentOS 6.3? you have 2 options: 1. You can use wvdial to create the script to dial and use it. 2. You can download, compile and install the latest NetworkManager, which supports most Cellular modems. Make sure you also install the latest version of usb_modeswitch package, since this modem is dual purpose (when you stick it in, it's USB storage, and after NetworkManager identifies it, it uses the switch command to switch it into Modem mode). I have something close to what you got (X220D), and it works perfectly, but I use Fedora 17.

I know this does not answer your question, but I have had good luck with UBUNTU 12.04 and two different ZTE and two different Hauwei ones. (a total of 4). In each case, the wireless connection manager found the stick, and offered me a choice of carrier. It then connected with no trouble at all. If I were going to buy a new one, I would buy an Hauwei ($50 on eBay) because if you play around with asterisk, you can make calls on it too. If you are going to use it on Golan, their instructions are wrong. The AIN is correct, but you have to dial *99# to get it to connect. You also have to go to the settings web page for your account and turn on internet access. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
