Well I didn't find where to look at the logs but I did find out some
very useful things.
1) After you setup with network manager you can just manually run
wvdial from a terminal and it works and you get to see everything I
was talking about.
2) It *IS* possible to insert the SIM into the device incorrectly.
This results in every attempt to DIAL returning "ERROR" in a
terminal program such as minicom using device /dev/ttyUSB0 for
example. IE ATDT*99# = ERROR.
3) The Windows software gives you more explanation of ERROR - in our
case something to the effect of "Error reading USIM card". Oh yeah
an to spite claims to the contrary, the one we got we had to use the
Install CDROM. This is because Windows XP wouldn't see the emulated
CDROM - Ubuntu does but then the software on it's useless ;-)
4) Even before the software has been told to connect you see blue
LED flashes indicating network availability (Windows & Linux), ONLY
when the SIM is inserted correctly.
Does that mean you got the E180 working?

... And there's the videos of just how easy it is to setup!

That's great.. just a shame that my E160G doesn't work :(
Does it make a difference that it's pre-paid? I read somewhere that it
does. Does it make a difference that it was set up originally on OS X?
(on which it worked perfectly)
When I plug in and select it in the networkmanager drop down menu, it
asks for a password (what is that??).
The configuration tool has the following settings:
number: *99#
username: a
password: a
APN: 3netaccess
network: <blank>
PIN: <blank>
PUK: <blank>
If anyone can enlighten me I would appreciate it.
thanks
David.
Oh the password thing is for sudo so it can run with root privileges,
it's just the password you use to login to your desktop session.
It says in the little quick start guide thingy that if you're on
pre-paid you have to Ring Three and get them to activate your service.
It also says to change the APN to 3services. This can be done from
Network Manager by right clicking and going into the setup or just
editing /etc/wvdial.conf directly (not sure if NM will overwrite).
How's things?.. long time no see.
