Dear all:
I install ubuntu 7.10 and my kernel is 2.6.22.
When I try to use wvdial to connect to Internet, I always get the
error message like "SIM PIM required".
I know there is a pin number I need to key in while each time I use
the card on XP.
But I have no idea where I can key the pin number in wvdial.conf.
if someone has the same experience before, please let me know.
appreciate your help,

PIN

[WWW] Huawei E220 uses a standard 6 PIN SIM card interface.

If you enter wrong PIN codes three times consecutively, your USIM/SIM
card is blocked. In this case, use the PIN Unblocking Key (PUK) code to
unblock it. If you enter wrong PUK codes ten times consecutively, your
USIM/SIM card is disabled. In this case, contact your service provider.

To avoid this, remove the PIN code verification from the SIM card. Place
it on a cellphone and disable it.
