I have a Huawei 3G Dongle from T-Mobile. I got this one mainly because it had cross platform support and would work for all of my machines – Ubuntu Linux, Apple Mac and Windows, I have recently upgraded my Macbook from Tiger OSX 10.4 to Snow Leopard OSX 10.6. The upgrade went smoothly enough and until now I have had no issues with it but today found that the T-Mobile web n walk software does now not work (actually from looking around it did not work properly under Leopard OSX 10.5 either).
After a little searching I can came across this excellent post from Ben Vallak
Quoting from Ben’s post follow these instructions to get it working:
- Plug the Web ‘n’ Walk stick into your mac.
- Open System Preferences and then ‘Network’
- You should see a message about new connection devices (I think two are added for some reason: ‘DIAG’ and ‘HUAWEI Mobile’)
- Select the ‘HUAWEI Mobile’ device in the left column
- Enter *99# into ‘Telephone Number’
- Click ‘Apply’ and then ‘Connect’
