I have problem with that driver for HSPDA Huawei driver, it's not working on kernel-2.6.20, don't you have any variats which works fine?
Mine is working 100% - re-compile or try gentoo-sources

Hi there,
im running a Gentoo Linux with the 2.6.20 vanilla-kernel compiled by genkernel.

It would be great if someone could give any hints.![]()
Hi Heakzer,
I'm using the Huawai E630 with gentoo. One of my last steps to get thet card to work was the right kernel module for the usb controller: ohci_hcd Probably you need that to. But I'm not sure cause your modem is a usb modem (right?) and mine is a pcmcia (internaly the hsdpa modem is connected via usb)
probably this helps?
chris...
I'm using Debian 3.1 kernel-2.6.20, compiled by
Code:# make menuconfig # make all # make install # make modules_isntall # mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20 2.6.20 # emacs /boot/grub/menu.lst
But my kernel don't even create "/dev/ttyUSB0" and when I create it manualy by
Code:# mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 # mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 # mknod /dev/ttyUSB2 c 188 2
It doesn't work(
Just thought I'd contribute an answer to this, even though it's a bit late... or at least I hope it's an answer.
To me it looks like what happens when you haven't supplied the card with its PIN yet. Look through the init strings mentioned in this thread (all 52 pages of it by now!) for where you send the PIN to the card.
I find it very frustrating having the card require a PIN because there's just no easy way to send the PIN to the card automatically under Linux in my setup. AND you can't just set it up to send the PIN every time you try to connect because after you've sent the PIN, any subsequent attempt to do so (before power-cycling the card) returns an ERROR! So wvdial aborts![]()
So I just turn off the PIN request for the SIM(which you can do by putting the SIM into a phone and setting the PIN request off, or using the Vodafone Windows software for the data card).
wvdial pin && sleep 1 && wvdial bla bla bla
Has anyone found the init command for the Huawei E620 card that tells it to use 3g only?
If I try to use
AT+COPS=0,0,"Vodacom-SA",2
as directed in parts of this thread (when referring to other cards like Novatal etc.) then the card just returns an error. If I leave off the last argument (the ",2") then it works, but that last argument is the one that is supposed to tell it to use 3g only! If I use a different value (like 0 to signify 2g only) it also doesn't work.
I've been fine leaving the card to its default for a while (I assume it's in "3g preferred" mode then)... but recently 3g/hsdpa has kinda died here and it falls down to gprs all the time - I can tell by the light on the card going green, instead of being blue or blue-green or 3g or hsdpa respectively. (plus the throughput goes to hell - worse than dialup!)
It would be nice to force it to 3g-only for testing. Anyone figured it out?
It does give a reading of the signal strength, but I'm not sure how to interpret the numbers![]()
Hi
I have been following Tazz-Tux's guidelines (MyASDL forum) for setting up my 3G card (Huawei E620) on the Ubuntu distribution. Everything went well until I tried to compile the driver by running the commands
make clean && make
This went OK until I got this message:
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
When I look under /lib/modules/2.6.15-23-386/ there is no 'build'
Please can someone help me out here.
Thanks
Mine is working 100% - re-compile or try gentoo-sources![]()
