[ILO98120]

@thenicksoul Huawei E220 does not work with 11.10's NetworkManager or Wvdial .. =/

Sakis3G script is the best solution .. :)

Good trick ILO98120..!!!

The best way I found to get wvdial installed on system is to open Software Center > click search button > in search box write keyword "wvdial" > you will find the link / install button, Hit it.

You will get wvdial installed on your system.
