I don't have Huawei E169 myself and never experienced configuring it under
Debian, but I googled a little and found out that there was same topic in
debian-russian recently. Here's translated (also little shorted and modified)
"recipe for success":

Some notes:
Please pay attention to the name of device - this guy tried to work with
ttyUSB2, which was an error because ttyUSB2 was card-reader or something).
Also note that author configured his device for Utel provider, so initializing
string may differ.
And the last one: it was suggested to install resolvconf package instead of
locking resolv.conf files (you can simply forget that you made this file
not avaliable for editing, which can cause a lot of problems in future).
In addition it was proposed to modify /etc/network/interfaces to look like the
following (it's just a part of file):
inet utel inet wvdial
dns-nameservers DNS1 DNS2
Hope that will help you.
