Connection trouble with Mint and Huwaei 3G

[network]

Hi.

Got a Acer Aspire One Netbook with the latest Mint with LXDE. Have connection trouble with it to my internet provider. I use a Huwaei E220 wireless modem and this works great with every other computer I have with Windows XP and Ubuntu...

It wońt simply connect, and I have tried both the built-in connection software and the ixconn connection software for Debian, which works fine within my Ubuntu system on the big stationary computer of mine... however, no one works on this one. And yes, I have tried to change USB-cable and USB-ports several times...

Haveńt used the computer for a while now but previously it connected sometimes, but mostly not... restarts of the NC was always required but this won work either...

So, grateful for help
Thank You

Hi Janne!
During the last years I had several USB modems - with Huawei 220 I never had a problem - but I didn't use it with other desktops than Gnome and KDE
[Ubuntu, PClinuxOS, Sabayon, openSUSE, Fedora,...and Mint]
- with Gnome it was immediately recognized and after 3 steps I was connected to the NET, with KDE I had some troubles.
Maybe my help is useful (link1).

I had the same problem with Debian Squeeze, but I have made a wvdial-package-set with instructions. It is a Ubuntu 10.04 wvdial, but it works on Squeeze as well, so it probably works on Debian Mint also ..
