OpenSUSE Network :: Mobile Broadband Connection Fails
May 22, 2011
I have a Huawei E173u-2 mobile broadband usb stick. It is recognised as a gsm-modem and shows up as such in the networkManager-plasmoid. I have set up the connection details for my ISP (O2), but I can't connect. When I click on the connection, "signal strength" is shown as well as "operator" (o2 - de). The "connection state" changes to "Preparing to connect", then "Setting network address". Then the modem vanishes and comes up again a few seconds later.
Here is the log (/var/log/messages):
Code:
It seems like there is a connection for about 5 seconds, then the modem hangs up and restarts .
The stick works fine with our windows netbook, so I don't think it is a hardware failure.
How do I get this working?
My system:
opensuse 11.4
kernel 2.6.39-30-desktop (2.6.38 gives the same error)
kde 4.6.3
plasmoid-networkmanagement 0.9.svn1192577-168.6
I connect to the internet with a mobile broadband dongle. I would like to change the dns settings as page loading seems to be running slow. However, there is no ip tab associated with mobile broadband in the knetwork manager module. There is however for my vpn connection. I have found reference to the ip tab in other postings but alas I am stumped. Is it possible that the mobile broadband connection does not load that tab whereas users on wireless or ethernet have it? That is the only solution I can think of.
I've just installed openSuse 11.3. How can i connect to the internet. The Mobile Broadband tab on YaST is not clickable. On Linux Mint that tab is available.
i am using mobile broadband to connect with network after i connecting mb.it drops it's connection for every 10 minutes.i need to restart to reconnect it.it is happening in kde.
I am having problems with my 3 dongle- when I connect it to my netbook it flashes green so it detects a 3G network. However there is nothing in network manager enabling me to choose the mobile broadband so I can't use it. I know there should be an entry "mobile broadband" after the wireless networks listed.
I know the dongle works because I have previously used it successfully- I was using Linux Mint 8 and have now updated to version 9 and when I have tried to use it have been unable to do so.
I have gone into the connections and my 3 connection is present but there is no way for me to select it in network manager.
I need help with connecting to cdma mobile broadband for a tethered samsung phone. When I first installed Suse the phone icon on the network manager icon was all i needed to do to connect to the cdma network.After rebooting later the icon is gone and i cannot manage to connect. The connection is still there, but it is as if the computer no longer recognizes my phone as a modem. Well sense i just installed i figured lets try reinstalling to see if it was a bad installation. It happened exactly the same again. If anyone has any idea how to get network manager to allow me to connect to the internet again i would be grateful.
i am using samsung S3310 with aircel when i am connecting new mobile broadband connection my device is not identifying ,so that i cant connect Internet.but everything okay i mean settings in mobile and pc. for same connection i used Nokia mobile its identified and Internet was connected but samsung mobile is not identifying in terminal i typed LSUSB my device is shown in that.
I am using open suse 11.3 with kernel 2.6.34 KDE is 4.4.4, I have Lenovo G550 laptop My system sometimes detects and connects the modem to internet and sometimes its doesn't detects and I am unable to connect to internet I have all the updates installed. Because of this I have to use Forbidden OS (windows)
How do I activate static DNS for mobile broadband. I can't find any place to write down this information. Settings are made in Network Manager - not Yast.
I want to use my laptop to share network for VoIP adapter. I'm using mobile stick as well as wi-fi and Network manager under Gnome 3. Voip adapter asks for address via DHCP to gain the access to the server some where in the other side of the world.
On my Lenovo T410 (openSUSE 11.4 KDE - 64bit) I have mobile broadband. Gobi-loader is installed and working properly. However when I try to setup mobile broadband connection the KDE Control Module crashes. Tried many times also after reboots, though KDE Control Module keeps crashing.
Problems with setting up mobile broadband in KDE4? Than use this instruction: openSUSE starter: Step 2. Need mobile broadband? Use the GNOME applet to make the GNOME nm-applet work under KDE. With this nm-applet I have set up mobile broadband within couple of seconds.
I am trying to find out how to get the mobile broadband providers to appear on the network manager app, coz at the moment when i try to create a new mobile broadband connection the list of providers is empty.
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 manage to get my mobile broadband working (connected, I mean) in both root & user account. However, my web browser, IM etc only work in root account.In user, knetworkmanager does show that my Huawei E160G is working fine, connected but I still can't surf the net & chat. I've included the dialout & uucp group for user account but that still doesn't resolve the problem
I have bought reliance netconnect broadband+ 3.1 Mbps connection. I am provided Huawai EC1260 device to make the connection.But using ubuntu 9.1 I am not able to make the connection work. I have tested the device in windows XP and it's working fine there. I don't want to use windows and desperate to establish the connection in Ubuntu 9.1.
I'm having problems with my mobile connection. This has been working fine for months, but in the past few days it has connected OK, I've been able to transfer data, but after 30s the connection closes. Setup is Acer AA1 with F12 connecting via bluetooth to Nokia 3110c on O2.
So to try and figure out what's happening I put the bluetooth dongle in my desktop PC, also running F12, made a connection and again it dropped out after 30s. Then I fired up windows on the AA1 and made a connection using the same dongle, this time it held up OK. This leads me to think that something has changed recently in F12 to upset it.
In the last week I have noticed that sometimes my Mobile Broadband connection just goes off without me doing anything! I have credit on the dongle account, so it isn't that. I'm using fedora 14 on an acer aspire one netbook. Dongle is a Huawei E160 on o2 here in the UK Kernel is 2.6.35.11-83.i686.fc14
Sometimes unplugging and replugging the usb dongle works. Othertimes, I have to leave it out for several hours. It does seem to happen daily, though.
I have a strange problem with my mobile broadband connection. I hope I am not the only one (so it will be fixed), but since I haven't found any others having the same problem yet, I am not so confident.I started using mobile broadband, via a HUAWEI E1762 HSPA USB stick since Jaunty. I've had the same problem in jaunty as I do now in Karmic. Although in Karmic, i've had additional problems (that problem i've found listed as a known bug).The problem is that when I get my mobile broadband to connect, it is sometimes, somehow, not fully connected. Symptoms are as follows:
1. panel icon shows connected and good strength (good) 2. skype connects, and I can chat and voip (good) 3. ping does not work (bad)
i recently installed ubuntu 10.04 in my laptop. everything is working fine except for my mobile broadband connection. i use a huawei ec1260 USB 3g modem to connect to the net. the OS detects the modem fine and the network manger applet prompts me to set up the connection as well i.e entering the username, password, number to be dialled etc. however when i actually try to dial the connection the applet icon flashes for a long while and a notification pops up saying connection disconnected. has anyone come across same kind of problem and solutions, if any.
Earlier i used the same modem in in karmic i was able to connect to net and even now i am able to connect using the modem in windows 7 as well
I have a server that has the mobile broadband connection "ppp0" is there a way to turn it on and off via terminal,Ifconfig shows connections for eth0 and l0 not ppp0 till it is connected.
i downloaded ubuntu 10.10 for learning purpose. All goes well, i installed it successfully. The problem which i face is that when i connected my mobile broadband device, ubuntu detects it and i have succesfully made the connection. But the network Manager is showing "disable" Mobile Broadband connection. I tried to put a check on Enable Mobile Broadband but can't check it. So i can't access Internet in ubuntu. I think some offline package installation should be there to resolve the problem, or some console commands. I tried to use the (wvdial) which i use at Backtrack. but i think ubuntu did not have.
I use Nokia N900 under T-Mobile as a broadband modem. It is connected via USB. There was no connection problems under 10.04 or 10.10. Now I have installed Ubuntu 11.04, and I cannot connect any more.
Here are the log messages that I get when trying to connect:
Code: May 30 14:32:06 ubuntu-sager NetworkManager[759]: <info> Activation (ttyACM0) starting connection 'T-Mobile Internet' May 30 14:32:06 ubuntu-sager NetworkManager[759]: <info> (ttyACM0): device state change: 3 -> 4 (reason 0)
I have discovered that my ISP drops down my mobile broadband connection specially at night. It is a very annoying fact because this type of net access is not cheap at all. I am using Fedora 14 newest core. I am able to configure Network Manager to automatically connect, but... this option does not solve the redialing issue.
Is there any way to set up redialing a dropped mobile broadband connection? A perl or python script, may be?
I just installed Fedora 11 (excellent work by the Fedora team!) and got my Verizon mobile USB CDMA device working after some file modifications (easily found via searching).
I have to click the network icon in the task bar, and select "Auto Mobile Broadband (CDMA) Connection" to get it to connect though. It then shows up via "ifconfig" as ppp0 and all is good.
But how do I get this to auto-start when the system reboots? It doesn't show up in the network manager, and I'm not even sure how to use command-line to start up the CDMA connection! I only can do it via clicking that icon.
I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.1 and now my mobile broadband connection will not work. The dongle says it is connected to my provider but Firefox is telling me it cannot find the web page. Everything was working perfectly before the upgrade!
Error message: The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.
I just installed Ubuntu a few days ago and am loving it so far. There is, however, one huge problem which is spoiling all my fun: I can't access my gmail.
I'm using a Huawei E220 USB modem with T-Mobile UK. Plugged it in and was very impressed when I could set up my connection with minimal fuss. When I try to load gmail though, I get stuck with the statusbar saying 'Waiting for www.google.com...'. All other sites work fine (including google.com), and I don't get this problem when connecting though the Web 'n' Walk software in Windows XP. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can start working this out?
does anyone of you use a hauweii e160 usb mobile broadband connection? in ubuntu 9.10 it worked, but now (10.04), after the remove of /proc/bus/usbfs it wont't get recogniced as an internet-device.why should i make a symlink from kernel/debug to /proc/bus/usb/devices
