Fedora Networking :: ZTE USB Modem Not Being Recognized?
Nov 20, 2009
I have installed the KDE spin and am liking it so far. Except for the fact that I cannot get onto the internet. I rely on this ZTE USB wireless modem for internet and that just would not get recognized in Fedora. Plus, my Windows installation is down and I would love to keep it that way if at all possible.
I have followed a few instructions on this particular problem. I have modified the menu.lst file to account for the usbmodserial and product. The usb_modeswitch program has also been installed and the usb_modeswitch.conf file has been edited with the values I got from the 'lsusb' command's output.
But the curious thing is that when I actually execute the usb_modeswitch command, I get a message saying that there are no drivers for the ZTE device. Which means that I cannot go onto the wvdialconf part of it at all. Basically at this point I dont have a modem, according to Fedora. But it does get recognized as a ZTE device. That tells me that there is something right about what I have done so far and may only need to do a few tweaks here and there.
PS - I am based out of India and this is a Tata Indicom Photon (NOT Photon Plus) connection for which I have a USB device which acts as a modem.

I am trying to get a Vodafone USB modem to work - Huawei K3765 (which is a rebranded E169). It's supposed to be recognized by the kernel and just added through Network Manager, but - no luck. I also installed vodafone-mobile connect from here: [URL] (as well as the other packages). What happens when I start it - it doesn't see the modem. It's seen as a CD drive, and clicking "eject", "unmount" or "remove safely" on it doesn't help - it disappears, then several seconds later appears as a CD drive again.

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 KK (UNR) on my Netbook and I use the Huawei E5830 as UMTS modem. I can connect to the E5830 through WiFo (no problem at all) and USB. How can I verify whether the E5830 is recognized as modem when connecting it to USB? It changes the mode from USB storage device to USB modem, however I think I can not access it as a modem.

I have this USB modem P300U(SIM600 chip based) which works fine under wind@ws because it has it's own driver, but the clever seller told me that it worked under Linux as well. It was with Redhat 8 but I couldn't get redhat 8 to download. And until now absolutely false.
I have Debian with Kernel 2.6.32-5-686 I just want to send sms through this modem. It's not recognized as modem I'm frustrated because it's not useful for me if it doesn't work on Linux I looked for info but I can't make it work. What I get in my debian is:
lsusb: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP210x Composite Device
dmesg: 9857.011649] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
[ 9857.818942] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=10c4, idProduct=ea60
[ 9857.818989] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

I own a Tata Photon plus usb modem which is a Hauwai EC 1260 and am not able to configure it on my ubuntu installation.
I have used it perfectly on my Mandriva/openSUSE installation so there should not be any question about its not supporting linux.
the menthod I used to connect to the internet was
lsusb :- to find the vendorID and productID.
modprobe usbserial vendor=0xAAAA product=0xBBBB with AAAA and BBBB being vendor and product ID respectively.
wvdialconf : to create the /etc/wvdial.conf file followed by subsequent editing of the file to insert username and password in it.
finally wvdial ... to dial the connection. The file /etc/resolv.conf was also edited the first time to include the nameserver values
but in case of ubuntu everything fails as soon as I fire wvdialconf command. It terminates with and error stating "modem not found".
In case of Mandriva/openSUSE wvdialconf used to check ports 7 to eight ports but in ubuntu it checks only 4 ports which perhaps arr labeled S0 to S3.
Please help me to sort this thing out.
One probable error might be due to the mounting of virtual CDROM inbuilt into the device which contains the installation files for its being configured on windows.

find and install modem driver for the Alcatel X200 USB modem?
I've been all over the internet trying to locate Linux drivers but no success. Alcatel's website says is not supported, only in Windows. I'm sure there's gotta be a way to use the X200 in Linux.

When I use Ubuntu, my DSL modem correctly gets the hostname I call my computer "mertensia", but I'm having issues with Fedora. Yet, when I look at the name assigned by the modem (using URL... in a web browser),I need the PC Name to be mertensia, because otherwise it will complicate how I ssh immensely.

I have just installed Fedora 10 on a Dell Inspiron 530. I was delighted to see on the very first boot into the system that my Edimax RT73 USB stick was recognised by the system as it was offering a selection of wireless networks to connect to. But oddly, my own network wasn't listed there. I created a new network and entered the network id manually. Once it was in the list, I checked the radio button and saw a message that I am connected to my network. But after a few seconds the network icon disappeared.
I rebooted the system and again went through the same process with the icon disappearing.
I have an Edimax wireless access point with DHCP enabled. The security is WPA2 Personal with AES.
Vista is also dual booting on the same machine and working fine.

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.

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 recently upgraded to Fedora 11, and am having an issue with the USB modem (Novatel USB720) disconnecting almost immediately after it is connected. Sometimes it disconnects 30 seconds after it is connected, sometimes 2-3 minutes. And other times it stays connected for hours without a problem. I know the card is good as it works using Verizon Connection Manager software under Windows and never had this problem.
And, I am able to get to the Internet while it is connected, so it is passing traffic OK. I'm using the NetworkManager to connect the "Auto Mobile Broadband" connection. I've seen other posts on this very same issue, and I verified that pppd is called using the "lcp-echo-failure 0" and "lcp-echo-interval 0" options. But it seems that when it does disconnect, in /var/log/messages it says "LCP terminated by peer".
Below is an example of /var/log/messages where we can connect, then it immediately disconnects.

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.

The problem is that when I connect my phone to my machine FC11 x64 via USB and use the phone as a modem NetworkManager does not recognise the phone as a modem. The phone works well on my laptop which is FC11 32bit system, NetworkManager detects it and sets it up as eth2 and away I go, no problems at all. I would like to ask the community how can I go fault finding to find out why it does not work. #lsusb shows that the modem is being detected by the system but beyond this I don't know where to look and get things going.

Ive got two connections, one is the eth0, that is the LAN connection to the DSL modem (192.168.1.1) and the other is the DSL connection that I connect to use the internet. Now I can only connect to one of the two at a time, so when I'm connected to the internet, I am not able to access 192.168.1.1. How do I use the two simultaneously?

My girlfriend's xp machine has decided to refuse to boot and as a consequence have told her I can install fedora for all her computing needs (facebook and errrrrrrm facebook)
Problem, she's got this strange usb modem, a thomson speedtouch 330 which when plugged into my laptop is listed in lsusb and lsmod which suggest to me the module/driver is built into the kernel, but does not at present work, I'd hate to admit defeat and reinstall xp.

I have recently installed Fedora 13 on my netbook. I wish to use my HP Officejet via the HPLIP utility. The problem with this is that when I have the firewall turned on, the printer is not recognised at all during setup. When the firewall is switched off, the printer is recognised. The printer in question is an HP Officejet 8500a which is connected via Ethernet cable to a wireless router. I would like to know if there are any network ports (that's used by HPLIP) that I could 'turn on' in the firewall that could let my computer recognise the printer.

My USB-modem and my freerunner phone is no longer recognized by fedora. Last time this happened I just reinstalld Fedora because I had no id�a what caused the problem. But now I recognized that virtualbox was the last package I installed before the problem occured.
I tried to uninstall virutalbox but the problem remained. Is there a way to reset all the network settings without reinstalling fedora?
