HUAWEI E220 MODEM WITH EEE PC 900

Found some new findings about the Huawei E220 USB modem. It can be used with Xandros EEE PC which everyone knew. What people didn't know is that it is very easy. From the eeeuser.com forum, it is a difficult process with much tweakings need to be done.

What i did is to follow exactly the methods and programming used for the Sierra 875u USB modem. Even during the dialing process, the screen show it is using the Sierra driver. However after that, the modem seems to work.

The advantage of Huawei is that it is cheaper than Sierra. The price difference is about RM200. I should have gotten the Huawei and use the difference to buy a leather case formy EEE PC 900.
