OpenSUSE Network :: No Connection With Pantech UML290 For Verizon
May 18, 2011
I have tried every post on this site and Verizon's dealing with the UML290 Mobile Broadband USB Modem to get it configured with linux and have yet to have any luck in over a week of trying to get it to connect.
I am currently running OpenSuSE 11.4, all software has most recent available updates,
> uname -a
I have tried setting up the UML290 using NetworkManager (Broadband Connection), also tried YaST > modems along with Qinternet to connect with no luck. Have tried using mynumber@vzw3g.com and also mynumber@vzw4g.com and neither have worked. Used #777 as "Number" and used "vzw" and "VZW" as passwords, still nothing.
I wish Verizon had 4G in my area but not yet. I do get very good 3g speed considering I am coming off of satellite internet access(sucks 2sec latency). I did have the usb modem working from laptop running windows xp in 3g mode with no issues. I have Ubuntu 10.10.
Below is my wvdial.confroot@htpc:/etc# cat /etc/wvdial.conf:
I run "wvdial Verizon3G" and constantly get the below output except once when I did get:
I have trided to reproduce how I got it to work once but have had no luck. Does anyone see something I am missing?root@htpc:
I have just gotten a Verizon Pantech UML290 usb 4g modem. According to the following post at the verizon forum this is workable in Linux. 4G LTE Data-stick Mac/Linux/Windows-other authentication information. - Verizon Wireless Community I am using SuSE 11.3 x64. Some of the settings they call for I can't find where the configurations should go, APN, CID, Model? Further into this above post, there are examples of success in Ubuntu and Fedora.
[Code]....
I have installed the modem via YaST2 under Network/Modem but to no success. I am running Qinternet to control the connection. I have been using this same setup with the previous modem a Pantech UM175 usb 3g modem. Below is some information I pulled to start the process:
I've been seeing a bunch of issues with the /etc/resolv.conf not picking up the nameservers for 3g connections, and managed to fix that issue using tips found here.. the one thing I m having a problwm with is my 3G USB modem not picking up a default route/gateway. I can connect using KNetworkManager, get an IP and nameservers, but.
[Code]..
And to top it all off, I cannot figure out what the default gateway should be from verizon to just write a script out myself that'll do it automatically.
Just installed Suse 11.4 Kde build. Using 64 bit ECS A780GM-A Ultra Mobo, 4 gigs ram, Athlon 7550 CPU, I am unable to detect my Verizon broadband MIFI 2200 with this new OS, have used Ubuntu in the past. Plugged in USB cable for modem into different ports, still does not work,
When using a Verizon UM150 aircard, it is quickly recognized in Ubuntu 10.04. It installs and connects quickly and seamlessly. After anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes it disconnects and then disappears from the network manager. To reconnect I have to exit and reboot into Ubuntu. I suspect that there is a conflicting driver that needs to be blacklisted.
Got this modem and now i'm struggling to get it working.Device: Pantech UM 175 (CDMA Wireless Broadband Modem) Driver: cdc_acm *Modem requires custom startup key
Code:
AT+CRM=1
Error: I get online for maximum 10 seconds, then i get disconnected and can't restart connection until i either replug the modem or disable mobile broadband conncetions via NetworkManager
What I've tried: google reconfigure modem use windows manual All the guides found on google are outdated SuSE version: 11.3 uname -a

I am having trouble getting a Verizon UMW190 configured in Network Manager under 10.04 Lucid as a 'New Mobile Broadband Connection'. As the UMW190 is a 'World' capable mobile Broadband adapter is has both CDMA and GSM capability. I only need CDMA for now. However, when network manager detects the VZ UMW190, it does not offer Verizon as a choice in the Provider list. I searched and found references in this forum for using the UMW190 under 9.10 with gnome-ppp via this link:[URL]and tried it without any luck.I have previously used a VZ UM175 on this machine under 10.04 without any issues as Verizon appeared in the Provider list and the configuration worked without a problem.
I just purchased a Verizon USB 760 Modem.I purchased the Modem from Verizon because their web site stated that it supported all major OS including Linux.
My system specs are: HP Compaq 6715b Laptop
OS Information OS: Linux 2.6.25.20-0.4-default i686 Current user: jraglin@Jada System: openSUSE 11.0 (i586)
im on node1 when i type the command ssh node2@ip the terminal hangs up a bit then an error message stating that connection timeout but here is a thing: i cant ping to node2 but i can terminate the ping manually using ctrl+c when i terminate the ping usual message appears stating 10 packets transmitted, 100% loss
ps: when i go to node3 and ssh to node2 it works fine and also i can ping from node3 to node2 very fine. and the firewalls are down at all nodes -all wired connection over a switch
I can make a connection to the vpn server, the connection starts, but nothing happens! My IP address remains the same as previous! There is nothing added to my Knetworkmanager, I'm a beginner I should use a pcf file for my vpn connection. I use it properly, I'm sure because the connection starts and an icon is added to my panel and remains until I disconnect.
I checked it via ifconfig -a, the last part (which is for vpn) is:
I've not found how to configure more than one ip address with network manager.Nor with kde nor with plasmoid network manager.I need several virtual ip addresses for eth0 when the "default" of eth0 is connected i.e. "Connected to Auto eth0" should initialize the virtual interfaces.I have not found no even how to configure the ip address.I think this will be used from ifup config in yast or not?There I have the virtual interfaces but they are not taken from network manager.And last but no least: Is it possible that when using network manager the eth0 is enabled even no user has logged in?
I deleted the firewall files "K09SuSEfirewall2_init", "K01SuSEfirewall2_setup", "S11SuSEfirewall2_setup" and "S01SuSEfirewall2_init" from "/etc/rc.d/rc5.d" in order to disable the firewall when rebooting.
As a consequence all network services are not working. I can't connect to any other machine nor to the internet.
I rebuilt the symbolic files based on the ones for runlevel 3, but still no network services are available.
Any suggestions how to make it work again? I'm using Suse 11.3.
Im new in this world of linux and suse. I have just installed the opensuse 11.2 in a Dell Inspiron 5160. Such laptop has a BCM4306 Wireless LAN controller. When I tried to configure a wlan connection, I found that the firmware was not installed. After looking in different forums, I installed the firmware b43. Now, my wlan card is abled to find the wireless of my router.
I have tried to configure a connection with YAST as well as with Network Manager, but both cases failled. Specifically, when I use Network manager, Im able to see in the applet my connection, how strong is the signal, but I see a yellow symbol (in one forum, such a box is shown with a green symbol).
I have check many time all about the secutity, encryption, and so one and all seems to be correct. But when I open the mozila firefox or the konqueror browser, no chance to surffer in internet. Now Im just a step to become crazy. The drivers are ok, the information about the router and the keys are ok, but in such a way, I am still harmloss.
I installed OpenSuSE 11.3. The only "extra" package I put in after the install was VirtualBox-ose. The firewall is disabled. I gave the machine a static IP address. I can get to the Internet from the machine. I enabled sshd to start on boot with "chkconfig sshd on" and also verified the service is running on the machine. I can ssh user@localhost from the machine as well.
When I try to connect to SSH from another machine, I get a connection refused. I verify that the firewall is down. I also try to get to VNC -- same problem: Connection refused. I ping the machine for fun. If I try to SSH again, it sometimes gives me a logon? I would check the server logs for the connection refused, but I wouldn't know where to look. I started in /var/log/messages, but nothing seemed to jump out there. I also find it strange because I can RDP to a windows guest running under VirtualBox. The Windows guest uses Bridged Network and DHCP.
I also find it interesting that I sometimes type a "ping google.com" from the 11.3 box and it will just hang - no output. Then I open firefox and get to the internet. All of a sudden, ping starts to give output. Could this be a neetwork card issue? A configuration issue? I don't know where to start.
So up until I updated from Opensuse 11.3 to 11.4, I hadn't any issues with my network connection. At least none worth mentioning. Once I installed 11.4, I've had weird issues with varying lengths of connection. Sometimes I can't connect anywhere, sometimes I can only get to the router, sometimes I'm 100%. I'd fiddle with YAST until everything worked. I honestly have no clue whether or not anything I did had any effect.
Enough of the iffy history, here's what's happening now. For the past few weeks up until last night, I have been at 100% connectivity. I never turned off my computer until last night (it just shut itself off, like the cord was unplugged. I dunno what happened, maybe it was my foot, maybe the PSU. I think it has happened before.). When I turned it back on, I was only able to connect as far as my router (192.168.1.1, a D-Link Gaming router that has always been very good to me). I could not make it to my modem (192.168.0.1, a Quest DSL modem. Once I can get here, then usually I'm good to go 100%).
I tried again this afternoon, and no change. I then get the crazy idea to unplug the ethernet cable from it's PCI-card home and return it to the onboard port (which I long ago declared defunct). Immediately after plugging it into that port, I ran "ping 192.168.0.1" and I started getting returns. I open up Firefox and try to load an external page, and nothing happens. I go back to the console that I was pinging from, and it had stopped. I start pinging my router, and no luck. What I conclude from my little experiment is that the router is not at fault.
1. It did not change at all between being at 100% and being at 0% after reboot. 2. I was able to get returns from the modem, past the router, for a brief period of time while using the defunct ethernet port.
Since I never had these problems before updating to 11.4, I'm inclined to believe that it was the update that started these problems.
I just finished a fresh install of 11.3 on an HP 7900 small form factor and have no network connectivity. In Network Tools eth0 shows the state as inactive. Network Connections didn't have a connection, so after letting it create one there is no MAC address. I copied and pasted the MAC address from Network Connections eth0, set up a static address with default gateway, netmask, etc. all set appropriately and rebooted. Still no joy.
I want this to get an address via DHCP, I just set up a static address for testing.11.2 sensed the NIC without issue, but 11.3 doesn't seem to like me right now.I wanted to get this deployed on 40 machines today. Oh well.
I'm new in SUSE 11.4. My problem is: I'm using Alfa AWUS036H card. It's recognised and I can establish connection to my network, but cant get to Internet. I can't surf the web cos Firefox tell me that connection is timed out. Now I'm confused why I can't surf the web even if I'm connected. Also, I trayed to instal linux drivers for this card folloving Ubuntu "how to" and it just dont work.
with the ifup method everything works fine. But now I bought a wireless card, so I prefer to use the network manager to manage my connection. On my computer I need a static IP for wired connection, so I created a new wired connection and I called it "wired connection". But network manager always connect automatically to "Auto eth0" and I can't find how to modify this connection. Setting "wired connection" as default didn't change anything, probably becouse it need me to unlock the default wallet... Now, another problem, I really don't know why network manager applet doesn't appear on system tray, but I'm sure that I'm using it instead of the ifup method.
I installed a simple VPN pptp. Works fine to connect to the linux server. However I would like to connect my other linux-server and (more important) my old Novell 6.0 server. Anyone have an idear what I need to change?
I am trying to Setup citrix ICA client 9 on Ubuntu 9.04 Server. I installed it very easily and I am not getting any lib error also. But when I try to connect to the citrix server, it fails with a pop up saying "Error in Network Connection Network or Dialup connection may be preventing ......" This is driving me crazy from 3 days. My project is to check the feasiblity of a Linux desktop
On my triple-boot-system with XP,Suse 11.3 and Ubuntu I can`t access the web with all the OS.In spring,I used an USB-stick to connect,and got it only work to connect with WindwsXP, not with Suse and Ubuntu.The stick was identified by Suse as modem and storage-capacity as well.Now,running a DSL-connection,only Suse and Ubu are connectable,but not the XP!
I'm trying to enable a VNC connection from a Windows machine to remotely connect into my openSUSE machine (11.2, KDE, 64-bit), but I cannot get any desktop environment to load up at all. It just comes up with a blank screen and a black cross for a cursor. What I want is to be able to see exactly what I would normally see if I were sitting in front of it, rather than go into a 'virtual desktop' as appears to be the case. Ideally I would want to go into the KDE desktop environment in this instance, and it would also be nice if dual monitors could enabled for each remote session. How do I go about enabling my chosen environment?
If it makes any difference at all (although I doubt it does), I'm also using PuTTY in Windows in order to make an SSH tunnel to allow secure access, and I'm quite sure I've enabled all the necessary services for all of the above under the YaST Firewall (by the way, on a lesser note, do I need PuTTY to be installed at both ends for the SSH tunnel to work properly?). If you need a screenshot or output from terminal of sorts this can be arranged.
It is just 3 days that I am using Linux Opensuse 11.2. I got a problem with Internet connection: I have HUWAEI E1550 3G Modem, but I have no idea about using it on Linux OpenSuse 11.2. Now I use it Windows7, there is no problem, because there is a program and driver for modem.
I have bought a TV which has possibility to connect via LAN to Internet. At this moment I have no router but I suppose it should work also via PC where is 2nd net card. (of course PC must be ON)
So I connect TV to PC to one net card and from 2nd to internet (provider socket). But how should I set the PC to work it? Allow both cards, it is clear but is it enough? I dont suppose
I have problems in connecting to the internet.I have a new desktop.I installed the opensuse 11.3 64bit.I connect to the internet without any problems.I've installed the necessary update files.I continue to use it without problems.But today I cannot connect to the internet.I opened my desktop with Ubuntu CD and I could connect to the internet.I installed the opensuse 11.3 64bit again.Problems continued.I've written a static IP.
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'm installing 11.4 on a late-2010 Macbook Air. I've forgotten my USB ethernet adapter, although I'm not sure if it would even work in OpenSUSE. Is there a way I can install packages manually (via USB drive) to get wireless working?
I have problem after install opensuse 11.2 on lenovo R61. I have no connection to internet, although on liveCD (opensuse 11.2) is internet connection functional. In ubuntu or opensuse 11.1 was all OK, connection was functional.- at DSL Configuration / Ethernet Card is Unknown device- in hardware is Card: 82566MC Gigabit Network Connection (eth0)- modprobe wl write it FATAL: Module wl not found.
I had work well with opensuse 11 and the internet also work well but when I turn off my computer and then use the XP and work with it. I find out the connection with the internet doesn't work in the opensuse 11. I made a repair and format to opensuse 11 but without any change the net still doesn't work.
