Re: Huawei E3372: still a problem
Hello,
1)
I think that you are right. It seems that a piecemeal installation
from the later debian version
will get too difficult.
2)
I really don't even remember, if that other machine, where that
Huawei will finally go, has got more than one partition;
it was installed by me, but...
And the guy using it, is really quite inexperienced, it would be too much work
for him, to do updating of the testing version all the time...
I might anyway trying with still one more computer
and put there that later distribution,..
3)
I will see, what I will do.
4)
Maybe there is way to get the info from the 'jessie' package for later
Huawei to be written to to the stable version's package...
... so that the package would start working with E3372 ,
but not completely needed to be replaced from the later version???

From my own experience, trying
to upgrade from one Debian distribution
to a
later one piecemeal doesn't work. I would suggest
moving
completely to Jessie: update the
sources list and do an 'apt-get
dist-upgrade'...
Or, if you have /home separate, install Jessie
over whatever you have
installed
currently. This often works best and is one of the main
reasons for having separate disk partitions for
/ and /home.
