[Bug 446146] Re: Several Huawei USB dongle don't work with kernel 2.6.31-12.40 (2.6.31.1 update related)

For those looking for E156G firmware, I have found an unofficial site.
Use at your own risk:

The (currently) last post in the thread at http://www.dc-
unlocker.com/forum/showthread.php?t=308 made by artakamiryan on
2009-07-21 contains some links to this firmware.  Before using, check
what firmware version you currently have.  One way to do this is to:

- Boot with a kernel where the modem works (ie, you -do- get a /dev/ttyUSB0
created)
 - open it with minicom
 - type the AT command "ati" <return>
 - tell us the modem response

You will get something like:

ati                                                                             
Manufacturer: huawei                                                         
Model: E169                                                                  
Revision: 11.314.17.00.261              
IMEI: 358109021939159                   
+GCAP: +CGSM,+DS,+ES

or

Manufacturer: huawei
Model: E220
Revision: 11.110.05.00.00
IMEI: 358191017694576
+GCAP: +CGSM,+DS,+ES

a later E220 version is

Manufacturer: huawei
Model: E220
Revision: 11.117.09.01.56
IMEI: 358954001901277
+GCAP: +CGSM,+DS,+ES

Plese note that this is unofficial firmware provided by a third party.
I have not tested it.  It may in fact be for a completely different
huawei model.  It could even be a trojan, or contain a virus.  USE AT
YOUR OWN RISK.
