Huawei E169 + Thinkpad X61

I just bought Huawei E169 to replace my Huawei E220. It doesn’t work out of the box but I able to get it to work on ubuntu 8.10 with a little tweak. Photo above shows how it looks like with my Thinkpad X61.

1. Download usb_modeswitch.
wget http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/usb-modeswitch_0.9.5_i386.deb

2. Install it.
sudo dpkg -i usb-modeswitch_0.9.5_i386.deb

3. Save this script in /usr/sbin/ as e169_switch
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1001 -d 1
/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1001 -H 1

4. Make it run
sudo chmod u+x /usr/sbin/e169_switch

5. And make another file in /etc/udev/rules.d as 70-e169.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb" SYSFS{idProduct}=="1001", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/usr/sbin/e169_switch"

6. Reboot. And walla! It’s plug and play via Gnome NetworkManager 0.7.

But when I removed and plugged it again, it didn’t work as expected. The modem can’t detect properly. The dmesg says :

[ 918.669157] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for airprime
[ 918.669218] usbcore: registered new interface driver airprime

[ 951.451516] usb 2-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB2
[ 951.680562] usbcore: registered new interface driver libusual

It sounds like the device is not being switched properly from CD storage mode to modem mode. In this case, ubuntu loaded usb device as airprime. So, blacklist airprime solved the issue. I put “blacklist airprime” in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist . And the result :

[ 350.552290] usb-storage: device scan complete
[ 350.558942] scsi 8:0:0:0: CD-ROM HUAWEI Mass Storage 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

[ 350.710666] Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20

Yeah. It works.

    This is my first attempt shooting models and a supermodel, Amber Chia. It was an awesome photoshoot. Great experience and opportunity. I can see a lot of photographers struggling for the best place to shoot with their gears. The photo above was taken with my Nikon D80 and supercool Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G lense. For more photos please visit my photostream at flickr.

They have published WP 2.7 Wireframe Interface .pdf that list and explain the changes planned for the next major release of WordPress. This is only a mock-up and not the final description of how the WordPress will look and function in future.

In a next few weeks, you will see a new flickr member homepage. You will see recent activity, content from your groups, photos from your contacts, as well as rotating Explore goodness pop up as soon as you login. You can even make a it a little homier by choosing what you want to see. Below is the screenshot of the new flickr member homepage.

    New Flickr

    The new recent activity has more information and more tools to help you look at that information. You can save a default look, mix up what you want to see at the moment, and even mute images you don’t want to pop up anymore.

    The Explore section on the home page now revolves to show what is happening in different areas of the site. You might see recent uploads, a glimpse of groups, a piece of places, or something new you wouldn’t have stumbled across otherwise. There is a lot happening on Flickr every day and we hope this lets you see a little more of it.

    Its awesome and I love it.

Happy Birthday Linux!

    Do you pine for the nice days of minix-1.1, when men were men and wrote their own device drivers? Are you without a nice project and just dying to cut your teeth on a OS you can try to modify for your needs? Are you finding it frustrating when everything works on minix? No more all-nighters to get a nifty program working? Then this post might be just for you :-)

    As I mentioned a month(?) ago, I’m working on a free version of a minix-lookalike for AT-386 computers. It has finally reached the stage where it’s even usable (though may not be depending on what you want), and I am willing to put out the sources for wider distribution. It is just version 0.02 (+1 (very small) patch already), but I’ve successfully run bash/gcc/gnu-make/gnu-sed/compress etc under it.
