Where can I find Huawei E270 wireless modem driver for OS X???

Like Tim, I have the 220 but checking the driver list, it appears to be a generic driver. There is a link to my local service (I use the term loosely) provider. I had to force the issue a bit as there was initially no Mac support.

The information/link is about halfway down on the right of the page.

Hi Tim and others

Thanks a lot for your SW. I have still problems with APN configuration.
I'd like to give the modem a new APN for a different provider but every time it tells me "configuration failed".
Could you help me?

thanks a lot

Hi, I'm on StarHub MaxMobile too and I'm currently using the E220 drivers from http://portal.myglobe.com.ph/portal/Suboverview.do?aid=44364&id=1724 for my E270.

It works just fine on Leopard and Tiger and I have not encountered any known problems so far.

The detailed installation guide can be found here: http://www.myglobe.com.ph/myGlobe/pdf/HuaweiInstallation_&_Configuration_for_Macv2.pdf

Hope it helps.

After calling Starhub, this is the solution.

1. Install the driver from the CD provided, before connecting the USB modem.
2. Edit network preference in *"System Preference"* > "Network"

HUAWEI drivers are pretty generic so therefore the howto I wrote in this thread may help.

I use the huawei usb hsdpa modem with my mac and the driver was bundled on a CD when I purchased the modem.

I can email you the driver but I have the Huawei E220 not the E270.

Hi Tim,

Could you please email me the driver of the E220? my email address is sultan.faris@gmail.com

Thank you for your help.
