Connecting to the Internet via the Huawei EC156
I am currently running puppy off a usb drive. I am trying to use the Huawei EC156 usb 3g dongle. It mounts a virtual cd to install the software(for both windows and linux). The disc boots up fine but puppy cannot detect the modem part. How do I connect without installing the useless software supplied by the network provider.

You need usb-modeswitch software for the modem to be releaved with disk. Then you can use pupdial. In Precise 5.4.3 usb-modeswitch is built-in and your dongle should be supported as you can control at:

I haven't done this but I have seen various posts about how to do it (as long as you have time to wade through all the info to find out which is relevant to your situation...). There is some very good info in these threads:
