64 Did you check out the generic guide[1] for USB WWAN modems? It looks pretty consistent from when I set up a Gobi 3G card years ago. I got lazy and use tethering.
65
66 This FAQ[2] walks you through a manual configuration of a Huawei WWWAN to test the concept.
67
68 You will need to know you SIM PIN if used and certainly your APN for your Cell Provider.
69
70 That ww* interface is auto-created and can be used with different configuration/managnement tools[3].
71
72 Good Luck!
