Yes, it is very easy to use the E170 on Ubuntu 8.04 OS!
Now E170 is my only connection to the Internet, running on my Toshiba Satellite L30-113 laptop with the new Ubuntu 8.04.1 operating system ("Hardy Heron"), and also note that I am an absolute beginner to Linux environment.
After various searches to Linux Forums I finally used the following parameters which work fine with provider Cosmote here in Greece.
At first you have to edit the wvdial.conf (parameters file for the wvdial dialer program) so from a Terminal window execute the following command:
sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
give your password to "[sudo] password for user:" type it (not displayed and press ENTER)
then you must add the following parameters to the wvdial.conf (configuration file for the dialer program)
[Dialer hspa]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Baud = 115200
Username = user
Password = pass
Phone = *99#
Stupid Mode =1
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT&F E1 V1 X1 &D2 &C1 S0=0
Init3 =AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
(possibly you have to check the Phone Number if it is different for your provider, and also the Init3 maybe you have to put another string in the place of "internet")
After editing we SAVE the file.
Now insert your modem to the USB port, wait for 5 seconds and from a terminal window execute the command:
sudo wvdial hspa
(also give your password if asking for it)
After some messages including "CONNECT 7200000" comes the final "--> secondary DNS address ..."
and you are connected. Minimize the terminal window and click on the Firefox shortcut, unselect the "work off line" option from "file" menu (if selected) and Browse!
Please note that while we do not have a "real software driver" we cannot see traffic, type of connection or other parameters.
To disconnect, press CTRL-C at the terminal window which you made the connection.
As references you can read the data given via the "man wvdial" and "man wvdial.conf" commands (from a terminal window). Also take a look to that Init String that uses the E170 (or possibly E169 or E220) at the windows connection (at the log file of the modem).
Feel free to ask me test again anything of the above on my laptop.
