Have you got it working in another machine? In this machine with another OS? If yes, how?
Yes, it is working on my current Debian installation. But there I have the benefit of networkmanager setting it up automatically. It seems that usb_modeswitch is not activated during the arch_boot installation, so I am looking at that and then I must see if I can get wvdial to work. It is a bit of a hassle with no guarantee of success, so if you have any other suggestions, I am all ears. I think there are quite a number of people who only have usb modem connections, especially in remote or rural areas, and so it would be nice if the arch installation was a little more inviting to us.
