This package is based on the package 'huawei_umtsmodem' from project 'home:kssingvo'.

Huawei UMTS (HSDPA) modems, such as E220 or E169G (E620), require special initialization after the device is plugged in. This can automatically be done via rules in udev system.

The package needs a more recent kernel, so building for old openSUSE/SLES/SLED distribution doesn't make sense and is disabled. openSUSE 11.0 (and later) is recommended, but there are chances that it works in openSUSE 10.3 too, but it was never tested.
