My huawei e1550 modem does not work with my antix 8.5. I see it has detected in antix when I use lsusb command. I tried wicd, ceni but none helped to work with it. It works fine in ubuntu and fedora with networkmanager. is there anything equivalent to networkmanager in antix? how do I setup it with wicd or anything already installed in antix? PLease help me to fix this. Thank you in advance...

can you paste the output of (in terminal)

inxi -F

I'm using the live CD. I need it to be worked before install to HDD. I'll install when everything works fine.
Here are the results:
