3G Usb modem on the Xoom?

[MiRaCL]

Hello

I know this has been asked before, but no conclusion was presented.
I have an Huawei E173 3G usb modem i primarily use for my car stereo(Parrot Asteroid, this runs Android 1.5/1.6 this has support for a lot of usb dongles)

I want to to use this with my Wifi Xoom via an usb OTG cable.
As of now i doesn't work.

This because the lack of drivers and APN settings on the Xoom.
I have read the thread over at the XDA acer iconica tab forum about this, and they got it to work. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14603952 )

The android drivers for a lot of usb dongles exist, but how to get them to work on the xoom?

Tiamat kernel has the needed modules (usb_wwan.ko), so, you need just the script to set up connection. You can try with this one, maybe you need to change something...

I'll check it out.

For the moment i don't have an OTG cable either. Waiting for a new one from ebay.

Hi, I have got a Tiamat 2.1 rom, and I have a uk wifi only version XOOM. However, I can not find any setting about APN. How can I make a 3G USB model work on my wifi only XOOM?
Thank you

I'm totally curious too. I have a WIFI XOOM and I just got a nice USB HSPA+ stick from Videotron and I wanna see if I can get it to work via OTG - I checked OS Monitor (Tiamat ROM) and it seems the stick is detected, with a dead IP 169.254 etc...

so I just need a dialer! Any news at all?

Thanks in advance!

I also wanna to try. But two problems here:
(1)"/etc/ppp/peers" is Read Only file system, so it is impossible to put dialing scripts there.
(2)I don't have proper drivers.

Can anyone help?
