Description
The Huawei E355 is a USB dongle with a small 3G router and WiFi access point. You always can connect over WiFi, but it has a USB network connection. The problem is that on the first connect, it acts like a storage device and not as a networking device.
Installation
Install the usb-modeswitch software:
apt-get install usb-modeswitch
Put in /etc/network/interfaces:
allow-hotplug wwan0 iface wwan0 inet dhcp
The dongle will work as interface wwan0.
