Thanks very much. I took your advice with my MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.2 and my O2 dongle and it worked fine. Your fix was a lot easier than dealing with Huawei’s Mandarin website or O2’s voicemail jail telephone (un)help line.

Hi, thanks so much for this. I was shattered when I got to my narrow boat for Christmas and found that I couldn’t get my emails! The marina network allowed me to find your wonderful instructions for fixing the problem with 3 mobile Huawei dongle. I can now receive emails – but for some strange reason I can’t send any? Any further ideas on that front??!!

Many thanks,

Andrew

Dan, I’m guessing but the process should be exactly the same as outlined above.
You need to find the driver and just install that rather than the boat load of crap that it ships with. OS X is fine at managing the connections.

Try following the steps above to find the driver and then install.

Do you know how to do this with my Huawei USB Mobile Broadband. Model. E1550. I am on Pay as you go mobile broadband. The 3 Connect worked fine before I went to Snow Leopard. Now the installer wants me to install Rosetta which I don’t want to do. Especially as it would just be for this devise.

I am on a Mac Book Pro. OS X.6.2

Thanks Dan.

Perfect! Worked beautifully, thanks very much…

Comments much as before, actual device appeared as a different name, but these intructions plus a couple of logical guesses sorted me out.
