Huawei E800 on Debian Etch

I just got an Internet flatrate with the Huawei E800 express-slot USB modem from the German provider eplus. It worked out of the box under Windows XP.

However, some work was needed to get it running on Debian Etch because the device first registers as a USB drive and the modem functionality thus gets shadowed.

Thanks to this site it now works on Debian too, although it needs to be plugged prior to startup.

I'll be working on the issue.

DVB-T pen

Well, it went pretty good.

First of all I had to update the kernel version to get the proper module.

Then I downloaded the proper firmware from LinuxTV's firmware download site and stored the files into the proper location.

That all happened last year, so I don't see any necessity to get deeper into the matter.

If you want to know more about these USB DVB-T stuff, see this great site with loads of information.

Soon I am going to tell you about my attempts to get a USB DVB-T pen running on Debian sarge.
