E160 constantly disconnecting

Yesterday I had to use my E160 UMTS stick on my windows PC at home, because my normal internet connection went down. The E160 works quite well and I have a pretty strong signal at home, so no problem there. Web browsing and teamspeak was fine, but World of Warcraft kept disconnecting every few seconds.
After a bit of research it turned out, that my E160 probably has a faulty firmware installed. Updating the firmware to 11.604.21.00.156.B409 should fix the problem.
For some reason Huawei doesn't provide this update on their homepage, so it took me quite a while to find it. I finally got it from drei.at. I have a different service provider, but the update works nevertheless. It only updates the firmware and keeps the Mobile Partner software intact.
I haven't played World of Warcraft after I updated the firmware, but everything seems fine. In fact I'm writing this post while using my E160.
To make a long story short: Here is the download link for the firmware update if you happen to be in the same situation as me.
