Linux - HOWTO (With Stats)

Kimpost · Jul 18, 2006

Solved the problem.

Apparently TRE needs the APN, while Vodafone doesn't (the card coming from Vodafone has the APN pre-programmed on the board).

The following line did the trick:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","data.tre.se"

Nice - well done. Quite wierd that they don'y have a default APN. I am sure that I read somewhere that they had to have a default apn....

Laterz !

Hello community,
first of all, I'm a complete Linux newbie - I installed Ubuntu 6.06 for a friend, due to her problems with viruses and spyware on Windows.

Now she bought a Novatel Merlin U740 PCMCIA card (from the Austrian phone company One) and I'm losing my hair trying to get it working with Ubuntu.

When I try the wvdial script I get this:

Code:

angie@angie-desktop:~$ wvdial pin novatel internet 3gonly 384k
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.55
--> Cannot set information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: AT+CPIN=xxxx
--> Sending: ATQ0
--> Re-Sending: AT+CPIN=xxxx
--> Modem not responding.

What does the "Cannot set information for serial port." mean?

This is the output of uname -a:

Code:

Linux angie-desktop 2.6.15-26-386 #1 PREEMPT Mon Jul 17 19:52:53 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

I don't know what any of this means, I just followed the steps provided in this thread, but to no use.

I also tried to compile the nozomi-thing, but there seems to be something missing in this Ubuntu installation, 'make' finishes with errors.

If anyone could help me get this thing running it would spare me re-installing Windows on my friends computer, but I'm really helpless at this advanced level of Linux wizardry. I hope the information I posted is useful - if I can provide any more, please let me know. Thanks for your time.

Hey dfkt,

Welcome to Linux !

First of all - it doesn't look like the serial convertors are loaded. Please paste the output of:

Code:

lsmod

Also, dont worry about the nomozi driver, you don't need it

Laterz !

Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT

[Dialer pin]

Init1 = AT+CPIN=xxxx (paranoia :D)

[Dialer novatel]
#Modem = /dev/ttyUSB3
#Modem = /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:02:00.0/usb3/3-1
Modem = /dev/ttyS1
Baud = 460800
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATE0V1&D2&C1S0=0+IFC=2,2
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem

I changed the phonenumber to this weird URL, because that's what I read in the manual instructions for Mac installation. And the "USB3" and the other configurations were just for testing, since the card was recognised under usb3-1, but I tried a lot of other variations, too.

Here are the manual installation instructions for Mac (since Windows works automatically there are no infos for that) - they're in german, but the important stuff is there, on the second page: http://elektrokrishna.com/install_mac.pdf

EDIT: This guy seems to get a connection even though he gets the "Cannot get information for serial port." ("get" instead of "set", as on my Ubuntu, though) error message: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=203342&highlight=hsdpa

Tazz_Tux · Jul 23, 2006

Alright dfkt,

Here we go

Open two terminals
"su -" to root
In the one run "tail -f /var/log/messages"
Then run "modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1410 product=0x1410" in the other
Note the ports assigned to the card

Once you have that you need to change your /etc/wvdial.conf to that - normally /dev/ttyUSB0. Oh and btw - change the number back to what we had it for now

Connect and enjoy !

Laterz !

Thanks Tazz_Tux - we're a big step further!

The card connected, and the red blinking LED changed to a steady blue.

Internet doesn't work, however.

Where do I put my DNS servers and other connection information? The connection doesn't show up in Ubuntu's GUI network manager.

And how do I set the connection up for one-click start, instead of having to use the terminal?

Thanks again, I feel a lot more motivated now that this thing might actually work.

EDIT: when I stop the wvdial script with CTRL+C it exits nicely, it seems - but when I try to restart it it tells me "bad init string". I have to restart Ubuntu to restart the connection.

Tazz_Tux · Jul 23, 2006

Hi dfkt,

Make sure that you don't have any default route already. The DNS info is send from the network, but edit /etc/resolv.conf *after* the connect. As for the GUI *shrug* I dunno, I don't know Ubuntu at all sorry.

You can also just restart PCMCIA and see if that helps

Check for updates on your Linux distro

Laterz !

Hi Tazz_Tux,

I did "route del default" (the "gw" doesn't work on Ubuntu, it seems), and I edited /etc/resolv.conf. Nothing changed.

The local IP is 10.106.47.163, and the remote IP is 10.64.64.64. The DNS are 10.11.12.13 and 14 (before editing resolv.conf).

Is it correct for stopping/starting PCMCIA "/etc/init.d/pcmciautils stop"?

The Ubuntu distro is up-to-date, all updates installed.

Tazz_Tux · Jul 23, 2006

Hi dfkt,

Based on the error there is something wrong with the PCMCIA utils vs kernel version. Those IP's are correct but the DNS is not. I can't remember what they are off the top of my head.

What does

Code:

route -n

print before and after the connection.

Hey dfkt,

I noted that you are setting the network to "ONE" so I am assuming you are not on the Vodacom network. I would suggest that you have a chat to them, since the DNS server 10.11.12.13 and 10.11.12.14 is not right.

We had a similier problem on the Vodacom network, if I remember correctly, it had something to do with the sim activations. Have a chat to them and see.

Quick question - Does anyone know how to get a Samsung D500 connected to a linux box (debian) via usb ? I want to use it to dial up (gprs) to the net. Is there special drivers required or can it be done as above ?

Tazz_Tux, thanks for your help and your time - but it's of no use, it seems. I can't get this thing running. The phone provider can't help, as expected. It's back to Windows for my friends laptop.

At least I learned a bit more about Linux.

Tazz_Tux · Jul 25, 2006

Sorry to see you go

When you feel like doing it again, you know where to find us !

Laterz !

HUAWEI 3g card on Ubuntu 6.06

Hi guys

I have a HUAWEI 3g card (vodacom) and am running Ubuntu 6.06
I followed a few howtos, including Tazz_Tux's at the top of this thread. I get very far, the card is recognised, I can send the pin and I can connect. pppd gets so far as to say "pap authentication succeeded", but then almost immediately pppd exits.

I would be extremely grateful for any help.
Below is the output of pppd when doing the dialing with "pon 3g":

Code:

Please lemme know if there's any more info I can attach that would be useful
