How to install Huawei e173 on Mac OS Lion
I live in Sweden and bought a Huawei e173 from the Swedish operator Telia. The only problem is that the 3G modem came with drivers and software for Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).
To start off, I installed the modem on a windows machine and disabled the PIN-code on the simcard. I personally get quite annoyed when I have to enter a PIN-code everyone I connect a 3G modem..
Next, I downloaded the drivers on my own from mobinil.com, installed them and configured the modem with the following settings:
Dial: *99#
Vendor:Generic
Model: GPRS (GSM/3G)
APN: online.telia.se
Note that the APN is different on every carrier. Just Google it…
