Ubuntu Networking :: Verizon Pantech UML290 In 3G Mode ?
Dec 30, 2010
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 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
Code:
2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-04-25 21:48:33 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
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.
Outputs:
NetworkManager - tail -f /var/log/NetworkManager
Code:

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.

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 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.

Either Verizon has been hacked or they have installed something that should be a security concern.I have found that following Javascript "injected" into most webpages. I know it is added via a Verizon (wireless broadband) connection because a) it does not happen when I use Embarq DSL, and b) is happens to webpages that I have created (and I certainly did not add the Javascript!). So, here it is:
Well, that's my story. My concern is that I was able to view some private information (via a backend login) using the modified link, example: http:// 62.0.5.133/www.somedomain.comm/login/myaccount.php!! (this displayed private info!)I have since installed Privoxy to remove the offending Javascript before it gets actuated by my browser.

I'm trying to set up my cell so I can use cellular internet in ubuntu like I do in windows. I've scoured the net, and found multiple guides, unfortunately, the problem I'm having seems to precede any of these. I can't follow the guides because I can't get to the first step. When I plug my phone in via USB, whether I'm using the internet sharing program or not, I see "eth1 connected eth1 disconnected" pop up over and over and over.
My /var/log/messages reads:
Code:

I bought a Toshiba NB305-410BN-G and it has an internal Sierra Wireless GOBI`2000 HS - USB Mobile Broadband Device 9001. This works fine providing wireless internet over Verizon's cellular service using Windoze 7 Starter os. I installed Ubuntu 9.1 (canonical) on the NB305 and I found a network device GUI that allowed me to configure "Mobile Broadband" for Verizon and allowed me to check a little box to automatically start the service. This action does not provide me with Verizon on Ubuntu. When I looked at the devices, I cannot see the gobi 2000.How do I get the gobi to work on 9.1?

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.

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.

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 ordered this USB 802.11n dongle for about $10 and am having problems.I found a firmware related bug (Bug #595455) that keeps it from working out of the box and got around that. I put the right firmware file in the right place and CAN CONNECT TO B or G Access Points.hen I put my AP in N-Only mode, I can see the network, but cannot associate. With the AP in mixed mode I can Associate using G.The most interesting thing I found was something that had very
few google hits (like 4). In the dmesg output after associating I see the message:
Successfully associated, ht not enabled(0, 1)The most interesting thing about this is the (0, 1) at the end.I don't know what that means but it seems like a clue as to what the problem is.This device uses the realtek chipset 8191S, there are conflicting reports on this, but all the reported possibilities seem to use the same driver from realtek (rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.2010 0625).Here is some random info:
Dmesg output:
[85082.620027] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6

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.

After seeing those 4G phone commercials with that newfangled mobile hotspot tech, I have to admit I was eager to trade in my crappy 2 year old CDMA phone for one. That is, until I saw the price tag. 30$ a month for hotspot? No way, so what I did was activate the tethering feature buried deep within the primitive OS accessible only with a plethora of codes and hackery. So long story short: I can now network on the go because Ubuntu sees my device as a "mobile broadband device". Unfortunately, my ipod lacks a USB port for tethering so I use my freed up wireless card to make an AD-HOC network for my ipod to connect through my makeshift modem. Now, my issue is that the modem isn't really that mobile any more because I have to have my laptop OPEN to keep my networks on ,otherwise I close my laptop and no more Adhoc or mobile broadband! So, my question is if I can close my laptop but still keep it connected to the mobile broadband and broadcasting the adhoc network.

I attempted to install Catalyst 10.11 for my ATI HD 2600XT and the system now only displays lines and a large block of pixels where the mouse would go. CTRL-ALT-F1 kills the system and does not provide a command prompt. This is a single installation, not dual-boot, but there is no Press Esc to access the Grub menu during startup so I cannot choose safe mode. I attempted to get into Recovery mode using the flash drive that I used to install the system and it tells me there is no Recovery kernel (I used the 64-bit Desktop installer, not alternative). Does anyone know an alternative to get into the Grub menu other than ESC during bootup? Alternatively, do I need to download the 64-bit Alternative ISO and create a new boot disk with it so I can access Recovery mode? Is there something else I'm not thinking of?

I installed ubuntu 9.10/9.04 on my usb key as live image couple of time. I have trouble when I try to install wine on my usb key. I am wondering what is the difference if I install my ubuntu into my usb key directly? will that be slower compared with live CD mode? I guess live CD mode may use memory as part of harddisk to save temepory files and normal usb linux installation won't do this for me. Is this true?
If so, do I have a choice to point my tmp directory to system memory area?

When I first installed ubuntu 10.10, the display was for some reason tinted green and shifted a few inches to the right. After experimenting with the resolution preferences, I eventually got it to a large resolution (1280x720 ... or something like that) yet is was quite blurry. I found out that the problem was with my monitor after I switched it to TV mode, then back to PC mode. It became perfectly clear! All I had to do then was adjust the screen positioning by shifting it left a bit.
Even though I have made the resolution I figured out to be default, whenever I turn the PC on after shutting down, it goes back to the "green-and-to-the-side" mode. :/ Ain't really a big problem, until I tried to fiddle with the resolution preferences s'more.
Somehow, I have set it to be twice as wide of the maximum my monitor can display, went back to being green tinted for some reason, and is completely shifted left (yet the right side is still visible) This means that I cannot see what is going on the left side, and cannot adjust the resolution preferences, nor can I click blindly cuz the border is only around my visible side of the screen. Now it is stuck like this.
I've researched many hours and eventually found the terminal command for the resolution preferences. it popped up on the visible side. Although it was to no avail cuz I HAVE TRIED EVERY SETTING AND OPTION and absolutely nothing changed. I assume a system restore would simply revert it back to the previous satisfactory settings, but the thing is I want to FIX it. I am new to this terminal stuff, so I want to learn it and all that. To put it simply, here's what I want:
Learn how to manually adjust resolution without depending on a simple dialog box. Make the satisfactory resolution default and consistent through turning it on and off. Link that could teach me the essential commands, all this googling is stressful. D:

All other modes except secondary work fine.
The wireless cards are both PCI, a Netgear WG311v1 and a Linksys WMP54Gv4.1, though I'm not sure which is which.

I used the information on this page...
wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ZTE_MF626_/_MF636
...to be able to configure the usb modem in my linux computer. As I've been using Linux there onwards, I didn't mind any longer.
Now I plugged the usb into a windows computer but the driver installation routine doesn't start. It's obvious that's because I deactivated the cd mode. How do I bring it back?

I have never had a working suspend. But ... every year or so I try it DOH!!! to see if the updates have solved itI used suspend mode today, and when I woke the system up , all seemed fine untill I tried to browse the internet.It told me I was offline. no ammount of clicking "go online" would work.So, then I noticed the network connection was broken.I did a few things to get connected, and I want you all to tell me what I need to put back again ! IPV4 and IPV6, I unclicked the box to require this for connection to complete.Somewhere else, there was a list of servers to ignore. I removed them all. (I think there werre 3) one was localhost another was similar, and the third was a number.I just want to know what these should be set at, because just because it works - doesn't make it right
