Huawei's page for latest driver for E220:

With this HUAWEI driver, the Vendor is Apple, not Other! Worked on OS 10.5.8 laptop.

Thanks for your instructions!

HI Shane, great guide. Just thought I'd throw in the obvious (to some) as I don't think it's been mentioned.

The APN needs to be as follows:
- prepaid = "preconnect"
- postpaid = "connect"

Hope this helps some of you out there.

Thanks…!! The best of it is that these instructions/downloads also work with Snow Leopard

These drivers also worked for the E160 bundled with the Bob Breitband package in Austria. I've blogged about my struggle over here:

Just updated the Mobile Connect download to the latest (April 2008) version after doing some testing over the last month. Seems stable and instructions don’t change from above. If you already have the previous version installed (ie got it before I posted this) then you can update just by running the installer.

Thanks so much, your above instructions worked perfectly! The speed is quite impressive also – I have wireless at home and university but this is great when I’m on the road, or at a place where no net is available – Cheers!
