Hi

Huawei Hi Link Data Card users...

I purchased the device to browse internet in my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 workstation. I requested the seller to provide support for installing it in my RHEL5, but did not seen any response. I already installed and configured many data cards inside Linux systems earlier but all were in the category of 'usb modem'. This Huawei E303C Hi Link data card is not just a modem but behave like a wireless Ethernet card, so there was some confusion.

I inserted the data card in my RHEL 5 with root administration. It shows like a 'cd-rom' in my desktop, when I double click on it ,it shows the installation files which is needed for installation in windows and Linux. I tried to install the device with the 'install.sh' file but fails.

Now I copied the files inside it to a new folder on the desktop. Browse inside the folder to open terminal. I typed the command 'chmod +x autorun.sh' and hit enter. Now I run the 'autorun.sh' in the terminal to install the device driver in the karnel.  It install the device driver in my system quickly.

 Now I opened 'Network Configuration Manager' to add the new ethernet device to my system. Click on 'New' to open the connection wizard. Select device type as 'Ethernet Connection' and click 'Forward', select the ethernet card 'Huawei Hi Link (eth1)' and click 'Forward'. Select 'Automatically obtain IP' for confirming connection. The screen will show that your device has been added to the network.
