huawei modem - linux

[encephalopathy]

colleague has developed a linux tool for unlocking huawei based 3g modems

http://freecode.com/projects/linux-huawei-unlocker

any feedback here appreciated as once it is unlocked it stays unlocked and he only has a finite number of 20 quid a touch modems to test on

if this is against forum rules then please delete the info above, but feel it is similar to the unlock chat in the mobile phone forum or reflashing router firmware to unlock features

thanks

Just to clarify - This attempts to remove the network lock so that any sim can work in any dongle?

yes - use a mismatched sim in it - so if you have an orange huawei dongle, stick e.g. a giffgaff sim in it and try and unlock it
