Tips
- Try using your Huawei E220 with Windows first. It makes sure it works and if the Voda drivers do anything special, they will have done it.
- Run a current Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris. This was tested on 10u6, it definately didn't work on 10u2.
- Don't take everything you read in the forums too seriously, a lot of it is dated and/or just plain wrong.
- There are some claims of problems with more than 1 core which should be fixed by a current release, but I tested on a Grover+ and thus didn't get a chance for it to break.
- You may wish to twiddle up some keep-alive arrangement to stop the modem going to sleep and adding latency.
- If you pull the SIM out (don't do this), bad things will happen and it'll screw you around. Mine changed USB device ID (!), hence the two entries in driver_aliases instead of just teh entry of usb12d1,1003.
- tip on /dev/term/0 can be handy.
- Vodafone seems to impose a "deny all incoming" type firewall, but you should probably configure ipfilter just in case.
- Don't forget to take care of DNS.
- Local caching proxy will probably help, as will Opera 10's "Turbo" function (possibly!, untested).
