Well here is my issue... I uses the HuaWei E220 modem (from Maxis) to connect to my Digi 3G Broadband, and the problem comes in where Mac OS X 10.5 will crashes once in a while with it...

Here is what i have done:

I have installed the driver from the CD given by together with the modem. I use the software Mobile Connect and it was unable to connect to the internet.

Then I google and found some other solution to the previous problem, so i downloaded the driver given by the site, and i can connect connect to the internet, and now the problem kicks in, it freezes the Mac once in a while (5-10 minutes after the connection) when i was surfing the net.

Than i downloaded the latest driver from HuaWei, and I was able to connect without problem, but 1.5 hour later the system crashes...

I suspect a kernel panic happen due to the driver, cause this issue does not happen on Windows with the same Mac and with the same modem.

Now here i have some question, should i delete all the previous install of the driver and reinstall it? the software does not comes with any uninstaller for the driver... and i donno how to do a proper uninstallation for the driver.

Anyone have facing the same problem? Anyone?

u install the .pkg file in the cd? or download from HuaWei?

I now also connect using System Preferences, been connected for half hour now, donno when will go crashing again...

ya i using the driver from here too... but both Generic driver and HuaWei driver will have the chances of crashing OSX...

last connection was 2 hours and 40 minutes, and no crashing... see later will it have any issue arise again....

yup i did the same i put it on the shortcut on menu bar...

oh ok... no wonder i didnt get crashes last 2 time coz i didnt connect it while booting... hmmm seem like the driver do have problem with Leopard... ok now i disconnect when i wan to shut down.

yup using 10.5.7...

have too much of data in my mac... my Time Machine only backup my important data, but i dont want to loose the other data now so i refrain myself from formating until i get my hand back on my 2nd computer, which has a 500GB hdd served as my server...
