Could you please provide your platform? I used the HuaWei E180 3G modem on mpc8360emds(linux-2.6.22, and linux-2.6.35) and p1022ds(linux-2.6.32 and linux-2.6.35), they both can work well. The below is the configure for 3G modem based on linux-2.6.35: Device Drivers ---> [*] USB support ---> <*> USB Serial Converter support ---> <*> USB driver for GSM and CDMA modems The log for HuaWei E180 3G modem: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using fsl-ehci and address 3 usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=12d1, idProduct=1001 usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 1-1: Product: HUAWEI Mobile usb 1-1: Manufacturer: HUAWEI Technology option 1-1:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0 option 1-1:1.1: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1 option 1-1:1.2: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2 scsi7 : usb-storage 1-1:1.3 scsi8 : usb-storage 1-1:1.4 scsi 7:0:0:0: CD-ROM HUAWEI Mass Storage 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 sr0: scsi-1 drive Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 sr 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 5 scsi 8:0:0:0: Direct-Access HUAWEI SD Storage 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 sd 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk Maybe you may check the kernel configure for 3G modem.
