Ubuntu Networking :: Disable Storage Drivers On An Aircard
Jan 15, 2010
I work for a regional cell phone company, and have recently taken it upon myself to create some documentation that will aid our mobile broadband users with installation of the aircards we carry.I decided to start out with Ubuntu 9.10, and I am using a Novatel mc727. I set it up using the mobile broadband feature that is built in, but I am having a few problems. First I have noticed that once you get the connection created, if you try to edit the settings, an error pops up stating that you are not authorized to do so, before I even get a chance to put in the password. Its not really a big deal, and if it comes down to it you can always delete the connection and start over. However, I have noticed that with the card plugged in, sometimes it can take up to 15 minutes to be recognized as a connection. I got to thinking about it and figured it may have something to do with the fact that this card, and all the cards we carry are seen on windows as a mass storage device. So to test this, i left the card in and rebooted, and of course on reboot, the card was mounted and once i hit eject, it was seen as a modem right away.

I am trying to use aircard 875u with ubuntu 10.04
The card seems to instal well, and it shows up under network manager... it is there under accelerated mode
but then when I try to connect to it/click on it, it asks for password for mini card or something Incorporated? I mean.. does it mean the cingular1 as password...? cant seem to get it to work.

I have seen tutorials on setting up a secured firewall/router/gateway using ubuntu server as the platform. However, I am wondering if anyone has had experience with using an aircard (wireless broadband card via usb) to set up a router.
Which card do you recommend? Any precautions? Any specific code already written to automatically recognize mobile broadband cards and restart the connection if it goes stale?

I am hoping somebody will have some information about a driver or instructions to use the iFox HSPA 820 AirCard. I sent an email to their contact address but have had no reply after two working days. Perhaps two days is not so long to wait? Anyway, according to their site, one of the supported OS is Linux
See: iFox HSPA 820

I have one of the new Verizon 4G VL600 usb aircards. I also have the UML290. I was able to get the UML290 working using wvdial, but I was not able to get the VL600 card working. I am trying to ditch windows, but unfortunately can't until I get this card working, because I had to give the working card to our support people.
This is a known issue, but I want to spur some more conversation regarding it.
Here are some of the diagnostics and output I have regarding the device:
So all in all it looks like the device is showing up as an ethernet controller and the system itself is setting it up as eth1 in my case.
The throughput on this thing in covered areas is 18Mbps at times, which is friggin fast as far as I'm concerned. I would love to have that on the move, but I have no idea what to do from here.
I'm using ubuntu 10.10 x32 dekstop, on a lenovo x201.

I want to disable usb storage module on Ubuntu 8.10. I also have Ubuntu 9.10 and when I put
blacklist usb_storage
in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf everything is fine.
When I do the same in 8.10 nothing happens. The difference is that there is
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

I would like to know a way to disable the usb storage capability of the clients computers on a LAN, running opensuse 11.2.
-- I tried the modprobe -r usb-storage , but nothing happend
-- I tried the nousb option when loading the kernel, it worked, but mouse which was connected through usb port was also disabled
-- Also there is no usb-storage.ko driver inside the /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop/kernel/drivers/usb/storage folder... there isn't the storage folder itself

I'm using centos 5.5,my problem is that i need to disable usb-storage in my machine.But i need usb mouse and usb keyboard to function properly.I have tried all the below mentioned methods,
1.Appending blacklist-usbstorage to /etc/modprobe.d/bl*
2.removing the *.ko file,which removes the usb-storage drivers.
3.Added the line, install usb-storage /bin/true to /etc/modeprobe.conf
The first mentioned method works partially.That is the usb port in the front panel of the cpu is gets disabled.But,when i insert it at the port behind the CPU, usb-storage(pendirve) mounts automatically,which should not happen.
NOTE:usb-storage have to be disabled only for normal-users

I have a 1TB external HDD which I use to store my music library of roughly 40 gigs. Therefore I would normally import music directly from it to my Rhythmbox library while keeping everything stored on the removable drive. In recent versions of Rhythmbox this is no longer needed as the application integrates my external HDD into the side pane and lists the music automatically. This is great although when closing Rhythmbox and reopening it, the drive has to be scanned all over again. This is a huge pain when it has to scan through 40+ gigs of music.
Therefore I would like this feature disabled and removed from my side pane. It is not needed and causes quite a large annoyance. Either I want it removed or the ability to keep the index of music from the drive in Rhyrhmbox at all times. Achieving this would be fantastic and would switch me back to Rhythmbox. recently I have been using Exaile which I love but rhythmbox not working bugs me.

I want to disable mounting usb storage devices except some devices based on its vendor id. I tried by adding below udev rule in debian wheezy
Code: Select allACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'for host in /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*; do echo 0 > $host/authorized_default; done'"
ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="054c", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 1 >/sys$DEVPATH/authorized'"
But it disabled all usb devices(USB keyboard and mouse). How can I allow other devices except storage devices.

I am running Fedora 12 OS on my machine. I would like to disable the USB devices for normal users so that usb-storage devices cannot be plugged in. However at the same time a mouse or a keypad may/could have a usb connection. note that root should be able to use the usb storage devices. How can the same be done on fedora 12? I would prefer not to do it via the BIOS options.

I've got a problem with my 3G modem [Huawei E122].
It has internal storage and kernel assigns a device [/dev/sdX] to it.
Because of that, every second time my machine will not boot - kernel panic - as my usb hdd gets assigned /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sda.
I cannot use LABEL nor UUID in root= kernel parameter, as it is only available when using initrd, and I can't use it - I am using Debian on my router - mips architecture machine.
I have to prevent this from happening, as my router has to start everyday and I have to be sure it works ok. I don't have physical access to restart it when something goes wrong.
I don't use my modem internal storage, there's no SD card inserted. However kernel detects the reader and loads it.
I can not prevent loading od usb drivers since my hdd is on USB as well.

When I first installed Ubuntu, I installed the ATI drivers with Catalyst Control Center, too. I believe the next time I restarted my computer, it was overscanned. It had the 2 inch border around my display. It was terrible, and I wanted to stop using Ubuntu because I couldn't find a fix. I finally removed the drivers through the terminal (don't remember how) and the border was gone.
The problem is, I don't have any actual drivers for this card installed. It's a Radeon HD 4650. I was thinking of trying: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
Would the be a way to remove overscan with that? Or is there a way with ATI's closed source drivers I had the first time? Ubuntu crashes sometimes and the screen goes all weird, which I'm pretty sure is from the video card. I also can't see the boot splash for Ubuntu when starting up the computer, which I've heard can be caused by your video card.
I'd like to have the drivers for my card, but not have to worry about the damn 2 inch overscan.

I'm interested in buying a new hardware for my company. The old server (now 10 years old) should be replaced with a new one. Till now, I was looking on different hardware suppliers, boards and different other places. I found a Tyan board [URL]. The hardware spec is quite interesting and the board would fullfill our claims.
how both storage devices will be supported by Ubuntu or Debian??
- SATA-Controller: AMD SP5100
- SAS-Controller: LSI 1068E

When using hardened gentoo kernel with PaX and SELinux...but SELinux is disable...I can not run Compiz Fusion. I get: Compiz: error while loading shared libraries: libgl.so.1: failed to map segment from object: operation not permitted". I went into X without compiz fine with no problems. Just seems to be with Compiz-Fusion. This is with Nvidia closed source drivers.

I'm having trouble adding the ports to the firewall. I have ports 2230, 2236, 2240, and 2242 tcp and local host added to the museeks setup. When trying to connect, I am not able to get past the museek port test.
What additional steps do I need to take to enable connecting? I've tried both passive and active, localhost and tcp. Because our connections vary with wireless, ethernet, and aircard, we nee to be able to use the server when possible.

I've installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 on my HP DV2000 laptop and now I want to get my wireless to work by installing the proprietary broadcom drivers (4311, I think). But my internet doesn't work yet obviously, so I need to download the drivers to my thumb drive on my desktop and install them on my non-networked laptop.My issue is that I don't know:a) Where to get the driversb) How to install them from a local drive

Using Network manager, I have been able to use my Aircard to get on the internet. However, many times, the connection is dropped after a short time (<1min), I can reconnect after waiting about another minute. After going through this cycle a couple of times, the aircard stays connected. Since Network Manager doesn't use the "normal" config files for network interfaces I have been chasing my tail trying to figure out what is going on.
Have recently added a router to my system Linksys Model BEFSR41. Now, I can connect to the internet with the aircard but firefox will not find the internet unless I disconnect from the router. Some website have stated that Network Manager is not meant for wired networks - not sure why since there is clearly a tab for that.
In any event, I would like to get rid of Network Manager and just use more normal config files for my networking. Before I delete Network Manager, I want to make sure I can access the internet through the aircard. Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried PON with various settings but don't seem to be able to get anywhere. No DSL, cable or other inet connections in my neighborhood. Aircard is my only (affordable) option.

I have compiled the proprietary nvidia drivers for 11.3. When I boot, even using the nomodeset boot option, the nouveau module still loads, causing gdm/X to fail. I am able to manually remove the modules with rmmod and restart gdm. Everything then works normally. I have added the line "blacklist nouveau" to both 50-blacklist.conf and 99-local.conf in /etc/modprobe.d

Have many computers at works. Not always on as students works on it from time to time. I already have a nfs server for files, but there's plenty of disk space on workstations. I wanna make use of it as a "performance booster".Which distributed file system should i use ? Looked for Plan 9 fs, but seems a bit new and "complicated" for me.

I have a desktop with Ubuntu and I've set up Samba to share files with my Windows 7 laptop. I can access my home folder just fine except for my NTFS storage partitions on the desktop's HDD and my home folder's Downloads folder (which times out whenever I try and open it).
Is there an alternative way to share files between Linux and Windows 7?

I have got a Arch Linux laptop running KDE. I have recently purchased a Dlink DNS 323 network attached storage and have installed Debian Lenny on it. I have been connecting to it via ssh and have created a network folder on Dolphin for easy GUI access ( using ssh protocol). However I cannot seem to figure out how to download stuff directly to the network drives. In firefox, it does not allow me to browse to the Dlink when I try to specify the download path.

I set up a nfs server that is working locally only, on remote I get this:
root@poc ~]# mount -t nfs storage:/var/ftp/pub /net
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting storage:/var/ftp/pub
This is my exports file:
/var/ftp/pub/downloads 192.168.1.23(rw,sync)
/var/ftp/pub 192.168.1.23(ro,sync)
this is my rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port service
100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 3 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper

100000 3 udp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100011 1 udp 875 rquotad .....
Firewall has 2049 open only. Other services suck as nfs or status, lockd have random ports, so firewalled.
