I use a Vodafone UK E272 (Huawei) dongle modem that I swap from Win 7 on PC to Mac OS 10.3.9 on my G3. (Old but beautiful)
I’d like it to work with Haiku, therefore I wondered if anyone knew how to get the thing up and running.
Not being a Whiz with PC’s I need help here.
Thanks in anticipation.

haiku mailing lists at freelists.org
there are several of them. the general haiku@freelists.org and haiku-developement@freelists.org being the onces most prominently in use.
You will have to get a account at freelists.org though.
fiarly easy to steup. Wish I knew if you device was supported and it maybe be. but usually if a drive exists and it work, the devices works. There is also some unfished developement for WEP IIRc that is awaiting completion currently.
It seems as if no-one has any knowledge about it I spent hours reading thru’ stuff but nothing.
Fairly sure this requires dial-up support which is lacking in Haiku. I don’t think you’ll get it working until a developer gets dial-up working in Haiku.
This post (& thread) may help you some. Best comments near the end.
Unfortunatly, Haiku don’t yet support USB modems and more generally dialup networking.
Your USB 3G modem behaves like a modem, like pretty much all USB modems and phones with an USB data interface does.
Unfortunatly there is no dialup networking support yet, without which those devices can’t be viewed as a network interface by the system.
It’s a pending feature, though, and one of the most-missing according to a poll we conduct late 2010. Haiku is not mobile-ready ATMn but must be in the future.
Ooops, duplicate post.
