Revision of Configure a 3G Modem from Tue, 08/13/2013 - 18:17
The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
I will show two methods I've learned of how to do it.
This was tested in Trisquel GNU/Linux Dwyn.

Minimum Requirements
kernel linux 2.6.29* or above
You can download recent kernel DEB packages from aligunduz.org, which has 100% FOSS kernel DEBs available: http://aligunduz.org/gNewSense I tested only with the 2.6.30.7 version
You must install in that order:
- linux-headers-2.6*.deb
- linux-headers-2.6*.deb
xplc Usually, already included in Trisquel.
wvstreams Usually, already included in Trisquel.
uniconf Usually, already included in Trisquel.
