Huawei Cpe B593 Firmware
You will find a .zip-file, which will contain the firmware file with name hi3g_r+m+h+s.tar.bz2 in it. The file is dated 20th Nov 2012. After the firmware upgrade, a software version of V100R001C26SP054 will be installed:
The previously used Saunalahti firmware has software version of V100R001C260SP055, so the difference is C26 SP054 vs. C260 SP055. It is a known fact that telcos get a firmware modification kit from Huawei and can enable/disable features and add their own skins (see previous posts).
The lack of connectivity was for the reason, that during update the APN-settings were set for 3 Denmark. Naturally they didn't work for me. This firmware has the VoIP-functionality enabled, thus, there is need for 2 separate APNs. Finnish telco's don't have the VoIP, so I cannot test that. But that does make the APN-setting -screen quirky. You cannot edit/delete an APN which is in use, either as data connection or VoIP-connection. There is no visual feedback about that, so I had to investigate the setting screen -logic for a while.
