ZTE MF622 Modem
I am a complete newbie to linux. If I download midnight commander to my cmn miniBook where will I find it and what will it let me do.
I got this the other day, with apologies to Jim, but do not have a clue how to use it on my cnm miniBook - any guidance would be appreciated.

Okay scrap the problems, Here is how to do if for people out there (none of this is my doing really, I've just played around with the information out there)
First you need to set up the ZTE MF622 as a modem rather than a usb drive. This is done by inserting the following script.
ACTION!="add", GOTO="ZTE_End"
# Is this the ZeroCD device?
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2000",
SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", GOTO="ZTE_ZeroCD"
# Is this the actual modem?
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0001",
SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", GOTO="ZTE_Modem"
LABEL="ZTE_ZeroCD"
# This is the ZeroCD part of the card, remove
# the usb_storage kernel module so
# it does not get treated like a storage device
RUN+="/usr/src/usb_modeswitch-0.9.2/usb_modeswitch -d 1 -v 0x19d2 -p 0x2000 -V 0x19d2 -P 0x0001"
LABEL="ZTE_Modem"
# This is the Modem part of the card, let's
# load usbserial with the correct vendor
# and product ID's so we get our usb serial devices
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x0001",
# Make users belonging to the dialout group
# able to use the usb serial devices.
MODE="660", GROUP="dialout"
LABEL="ZTE_End"
Make this in gedit and save it in etc/udev/rules.d and make sure the file name ends in .rules e.g. sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/ZTEMF622.rules
Now you need to set up the dialing mechanism. This is done using wvdial, what you need to do is create the following wvdial.conf file if you are using the ZTE in England with Three
[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99#
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Username = user
Dial Command = ATDT
Password = pass
Baud = 460800
That file is saved in etc/wvdial.conf. So you put in the terminal sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf then paste the dialer defaults code into that and save.
Then reboot with the modem plugged in form the begging of the reboot. Activate the modem by typing sudo wvdial in the terminal. If all is well you should be on the internet. Note: if the modem light is red then it's not going to work you need to unplug it plug it back in. It should then go green. You will need to reboot in order to get it working again.
Hope that helps
Jim
Re: ZTE USB Modem Help
Thanks for this thread and JimmyI in particular. My minutes old ZTE-MF622 is now connected and running well under Debian on an Eee.
Using the same process above but with the small addition of adding the wvdial package.
Sadly the coverage where I am is 'so so'. Its good to know it is usable though for when I am on the move again.
Thanks again
