some time I'm using (and abusing) a Huawei USB modem to connect to broadband offering Nextel Peru. Unfortunately
does not support Linux (as if we were not used), and not only that, the modem comes with a proprietary brand in question (quite heavy) instead of the files that normally would come in these "gadgets" that makes the linux detects the modem as if it were a simple USB memory.
Fortunately, the solution is quite simple.
(Ubuntu Lucid Lynx tested but should work on any distro based on Debian and even in other distributions (without apt-get part of the course).
1) Install Ubuntu Usb ModeSWITCH to detect the modem as it is and not as a memory (for some reason in some live cd is installed by default).
sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch
2) Set the connection (click to enlarge images):

By adding the new connection and must bear the huawei modem.
providers screen in the default exit Claro and Movistar, Nextel created manually.
Enter the following data as they are in the picture below is the data connection (I had to go to a PC with windows to get them ... How complicated is put in manual to help people?).
IMPORTANT: The username field should be written as follows (with the ie and space): ie
user@nextel.com.pe

Following these steps, the connection is already established, it takes about 3 seconds (MUCH faster than on Windows with Nextel software) to connect and no additional software (if of those who annoy by the clock).
Significantly, the connection is pretty good and fast. Serve enough if one wants to use it to travel and have internet anywhere (the signal so far has never lost "hatched" even though I've moved around Lima, unlike what I've heard that of course). I have abused a bit of bandwidth to use it for torrents and has not failed me (although after a while limiting abuse bandwidth for http, a procedure that apparently also use Claro, Movistar and any provider of mobile Internet and hopefully one day cease to exist.)
