I have bought a so-called web'n'walk stick, which identifies itself as a "Globetrotter HSDPA Model". I managed to get it identified as a serial device (initially, it is detected as a USB drive), but I fail to get it working.
I got a Gigabyte Gsmart MD800 3G/HSDPA Express card with a USB Adaptor. When you first connect it ... it picks up a CD-rom with the windows installation files and not the modem.
I followed the instructions here ...[url]
But the modem still does not appear in the network manager so i can create a Mobile Broadband connection using this modem.
For F10 patched. I'm in Honduras. The local cell / Internet provider that covers Guatamala, Honduras, El Salvador, uses an HSDPA modem marked "GBC" and is also known as the "China Bird". It's a black usb stick that looks identical to the option unit, but its definitely not an option modem.
lsusb lists it as 1c9e:1001 with no text after it. It automounts as a disk drive with typical Windows software on it. Nothing ever shows up in /dev/ttyUSB*, as I believe the disk mount causes it to not try mounting it as a modem. Dismounting it also does no good.
The USB stick modem stated in the title came with a software for Windows and Mac operating systems. The manufacturer is ZTE corporation, China. Is there anyway I can get the drivers and software for Fedora Linux.
I'm new to opensuse as well linux.today i installed suse 11.3 and installation completed.then i plug the usb modem (ZTE mf 100) and then nothing appears..i dont know what to do for configure the modem.
My D-link DWM-152 HSDPA USB modem is not in the USB_modeswitch supported hardware list and ubuntu was recognized it as USB storage. Any idea how can i switch it to modem mode? I'm using ubuntu lucid.
I am trying a 3G HSDPA USB Modem inUbuntu 10.04. It detects it as a CD Drive.
When I tried to 'Safely Remove Drive'
I got the following error:
Quote:
Unable to stop drive Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1: Detaching device /dev/sr1 USB device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb4/4-2) SYNCHRONIZE CACHE: FAILED: No such file or directory
The problem is that I have no clue what information I am supposed to give when configuring it through KNetwork manager. The password is disabled and I think the username should be telenor which is my ISP, the other info lines in KNetwork manager, however, I am very uncertain of, and I can't seem to get it working. I have switched from traditional setup with ifup to user controlled through Network Manager and the modem is detected. The module option seems to be loaded and the 'mode' of the stick seems also to be correct, it is not detected as a storage device at least.
I recently got a HUAWEI E1630 HSDPA USB Modem and it was working fine until recently. Recently it starts to drop the connection and in /var/log/messages I can see a pppd error "Protocol-Reject for unsupported protocol xxxx". The protocol number is random. Only way to resume is to unplug and replug the device. The happens very frequently and hence the device is not usable.
To isolate the service provider end, I use the same SIM on a PROLINK HSDPA USB Modem and it works fine. Also I use a different SIM from another service provider in this device and the issue still exists.
I am on Kubuntu 10.10 with all the updates to date. Should I report a bug?
I'm trying to make a Huawei K3715 HSDPA modem work in Ubuntu 10.04.1. I plug it in, and it loads two mass storage devices (one CDRom containing the Windows software, and one 2GB drive that appears empty), but I don't really know where to go from here.
Note that I replaced the stock network manager with Wicd, as I find it more reliable in picking up wifi connections. I'm not sure if it's suitable for connecting the HSPA modem though.
I have a weird problem on my laptop. Everything works okey on PC though.
I'm using kNetworkManager on my OpenSuse 11.2 on PC.
Everything works fine there with the following settings: 1. Make a new GSM Connection in kNetworkManager and enter settings there 2. Edit etc/sysconfig/network/config file and set .....DNS_Policy from "auto" to "" 3. Enter openDNS to /etc/resolv.conf (nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
It works like that on my PC.
I did the same on my laptop. The modem connects fine, but the DNS'es ain't resolved. So skype etc will work, but no pages will open in Firefox for example.
What else should I need to do to make this work?
It's weird it works the SAME way on my PC, but doesn't on my laptop.
I've been trying to get a USB modem stick to work with Karmic.The modem is the ZTE MF626 HSDPA on a Telstra Next G plan.I've followed all the guides and links on the forums:Have deactivated the CD autorun on the USB stick in XP lsusb is showing "Bus 002 Device 003:ID 19d2:0031 ONDA Communication S.p.A." demsg is showing "usb 2-2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1"This seems stable as well, ie checking periodically it doesn't seem to be disconnecting By the way,the blue light indicating network communication/modem active lights up after the device has been plugged in for a second or so.
When I go through Network Connections and add a new mobile broadband connection, there is nothing listed in the "Create a connection for this mobile broadband device" drop-down on the first configuration screen - all the guides I've read say that it should be listed here, but none say any debug steps if it doesn't.Some other guides for older versions of Ubuntu and earlier versions of the modem reference a "/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/20-zte-mf626.fdi"file which I don't have.
I have just moved over from MS to Linux and so far I am pretty happy (couple of frustrations along the way, but nothing I could not sort out so far).
Except this little bit that has me bogged down. I am trying to get my HS2300 HSDPA wireless modem to work, but I am a little stuck here.
I found a post that I should get the HP-WMI module to load. That was a post on an older kernel and this guy mentioned that is should be included in newer versions of the kernel.
Modprobe did not deliver any results, however an "lsmod |grep wmi" delivered the following:
Obviously I need to look for hp_wmi, but so far I cannot get anything to work.

i'm running Kubuntu karmic and i've been using a 3G Huawei E1552 modem to connect to the internet, everything was going well when suddenly my modem stopped working. I've tried reconfiguring everything, i even reinstalled kubuntu from scratch with no success.Here's a part of my /var/log/debug

I have a creative modem blaster V.92 which I know works because I have used it on windows and ubuntu how ever I am having some problems with F11 it sounds like its dialing okay and the box pops up that says please wait when I try to connect via the network manager thing but thats all it does the box never goes away and I've looked at the modem lights thing I added to my panel and it says its not sending or receiving anything and firefox doesnt work so I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.
I got an error with the default settings so I switched the device to ttys0 and set the baudrate according to what wvdialconf said was okay which also wont connect for some reason it hangs too.. I am confused here. Has anyone successfully set up a dial up connection in fedora 11
I have F9, F10, F11 and F12 installed along with WinXP on my desktop PC. I connect to the internet thru 56K dialup modem (USR-5610B). The earlier versions of Fedora, F9, F10 and F11, all can connect via dialup modem.
My F12 installation is augmented with the following rpms - kudzu-1.2.86.2.i686, libwvstreams-4.6-5.fc12.i686 and wvdial-1.60.10.fc12.i686 (and the rpm for USR-5610B modem)
Network Configuration GUI shows ppp0 (Modem) in the Common Active Profile
However, ppp0 does NOT show up in the Network Device Control GUI, AND ACTIVATE and DEACTIVATE buttons are GREYED-OUT.
My EVDO (Mass storage cum Modem device) like USB Modems not working on Linux-2.6.10 kernel.I used usb_modeswitch-1.0.5.tar.bz2 package on Linux to flip from mass storage device to modem
Been trying to get my UML 290 (4g) modem to work under Fedora 15. I have tried to use networkmanager, wvdial and ppp guides onhtml. I am at my wits end trying to get this to work!I am beginning to think that Fedora doesn't recognize it at all.
I have a little bit of a prediciment with my Mobile Broadband dongle, even though I know I'm in a 3G area (Dongle Supports 3G connection) my internet still loads at the normal GPRS speeds max of 5kb/s. Is there anyway to change the speed of it or do I have to keep with GPRS at the moment?
I have installed Ubuntu long ago, and I just loved it =), but I have been quite disappointed about the drivers support of some components, for example: I have a USB Modem ZTE MF622, my ISP is TMN. I have read about people that have configured it Ubuntu 9.04 and with another ISP, but when it comes to Ubuntu 9.10, nothing appears to be working.
