Android on Huawei u8100-9

[Russell reiter]

I did install usb_modeswitch on Debian. So this box

Linux SoupDeJour 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 8 21:36:00 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

now has this udev rule.

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1031", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1",
RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

which makes this character device available for dialout.

root at SoupDeJour:/dev# ls -la ttyUSB4
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 4 Apr 19 08:39 ttyUSB4

The GSM modem now shows up in System>Preferences>Network
Connections>Wireless Broadband

I'm going to try a connection now. I'm looking at "Proxoid" which is a
widget available at the Android Market. It uses the phones usb
debugging feature to establish a conneciton.

I'm posting this because a lot of the information I read about Android
seems to indicate that you have to root the phone to make things like
the modem work.
