HUAWEI E169 USB UTMS/HSDPA stick package for Linux

Using the E169 USB UMTS stick with Linux is a little bit hard and cost me some time to make it work, but now here is the complete package.

This package is READY TO USE for the Austrian (Österreich) Provider "drei.at". For any other Provider change the line "drei.at" in /wtc/wvdial.conf!
