Here we find a “mobilemanager.mpkg” file. This opens up a view with only “Contents” listed, foiled? Don’t worry, double click into that directory and then into the “Resources” directory. So right click on the “3Connect Installer” and select “Show Package Contents”. You see applications on Mac OS X are actually folders in disguise commonly referred to as either “bundles” or “packages”. Not quite what I want however all is not lost. So I download the zip file and it extracts out to leave me with a “3Connect Installer”. The link,, contains a link to “dongle drivers” for “Huawei dongles” that work for Mac OS X Lion (10.7). In my many searches for a Mac OS X Lion compatible driver, I managed to find the following from mobile provider “3” in UK. It may not work for everyone but it does appear to work for some.Īfter frantically using Google to find a new driver to install and digging around the Huawei site trying to find a replacement driver I was getting to the point of doing some modifications to the file and restart my Mac with the i386 kernel instead of the x86-64 one that appears to now be the default. Update: This appears to also work with Mountain Lion as well according to some comments at the bottom. Turns out that perhaps wasn’t so great an idea after all when my Huawei USB 3G modem dongle decided that it wasn’t going to work since it wasn’t relevant for the new 64-bit only kernel. You know the part before the upgrade where they tell you to check all of your applications before you upgrade? Well, last night I decided that it would be a great idea to upgrade my Mac from Snow Leopard to Lion.
