Segmentation fault on startup

Hi,

Unfortunately the program is not working anymore! As far as I can tell I've changed nothing, but when I run the command from the terminal I get the following output:

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Hi Richgod,

it seems that you're using Feisty Fawn + a Huawei E620 ? There has been a regression on Kernel 2.6.20 regarding the pl2303 driver. This also affects upstream, I don't know when was exactly introduced, but your best option is to downgrade your kernel to a 2.6.18 (it will work for sure) or to 2.6.19 (i dunno if it will work). More info here http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showpost.php?p=1019882&postcount=3

Huawei E620 on Feisty

Hi,

I had heard that there was an issue with Huawei E620's running on Feisty Fawn, but mine was up and running fine 2 days ago! I will try with the 2.6.18 kernel and let you know.

thanks,
Richard

Well, as I said in the other post, I experienced kernel paniks say 80% of the time. I don't know if downgrading is safe in Feisty. You could try 2.6.21 or 2.6.22-rc1 and report here.

Hi Pablo,

Does this driver work with Option GT Max 3.6 on Ubuntu Feisty? It seem that the application failed to detect the card.

/usr/bin/vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-debug output :-

#!/bin/sh
twistd -r gtk2 --pidfile /tmp/vmc.pid \
-noy /usr/share/vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux/tap.py

Thanks.

DNS issues

Well, as I said in the other post, I experienced kernel paniks say 80% of the time. I don't know if downgrading is safe in Feisty. You could try 2.6.21 or 2.6.22-rc1 and report here.

Tried kernel 2.6.22 but had the same problem. It's very hard to downgrade the kernel so back to edgy eft. Seems to be running okay compiling from source.

Only problem is that even though I have defined my own DNS servers in the preferences it still puts 10.11.12.13 and 10.11.12.14 into resolv.conf. Obviously I can change that manually, but might be a bug somewhere.

Hi Pablo I'm back

I got my copy of Feisty that I ordered off the website. I installed it and your software and I am connected with it right now It works great

Thanks for all the help

Hi,


first off, sorry for the delay I've been two weeks on holidays. Regarding the device, we haven't tested the software with that card yet, there's a guide of how to add support for new devices located in the docs section in https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/projects/vodafonemobilec/

If you don't feel that computer savvy, letme know and I'll add support for your device, the thing is that as I don't have a device to test, I can't warrant you that everything'd work

Only problem is that even though I have defined my own DNS servers in the preferences it still puts 10.11.12.13 and 10.11.12.14 into resolv.conf. Obviously I can change that manually, but might be a bug somewhere.

Hi richgood,

did you install from source? You have to copy the resources/extra/95VMC-up to /etc/ppp/ip-up.d ( or /etc/ppp/ip-up.local in fedora, if I remember correctly). Otherwise the static DNS wont work.

Hi Pablo I'm back

I got my copy of Feisty that I ordered off the website. I installed it and your software and I am connected with it right now It works great

Thanks for all the help

Hey sky.akash

glad to know that its working for ya, stay tuned for a new release.

 

[AirWolf]

Will do

Hi,


first off, sorry for the delay I've been two weeks on holidays. Regarding the device, we haven't tested the software with that card yet, there's a guide of how to add support for new devices located in the docs section in https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/projects/vodafonemobilec/

If you don't feel that computer savvy, letme know and I'll add support for your device, the thing is that as I don't have a device to test, I can't warrant you that everything'd work

Hi.

Thanks for replying to my question. I've taken a look at the guide and I think I can try to do it myself. The only thing I'm not sure is what to put in "conn_dict =". I'm also trying to add support for Sierra AirCard 875 and will let everybody know if it work.

Cheers.

Tan

Hi kgb0y,

as I don't have the card documentation, I'm not 100% sure of this, but I bet that the OPTION_DICT should do as they're models from the same company. If it works, you'll have the doubtful honor of being the first person to add support for a device

Now, the Sierra AirCard is a completely different business, as is a different brand. You'd need the AT strings for setting the device in the different modes (like in OPTION_DICT). Hope this helps and thanks for your collaboration

Hi Pablo,

I managed to get the Option GT Max 3.6 to work with your software . Following is the line added to the hardware.py :-

class OptionGTMax36(Device):
__properties__ = {
'usb_device.vendor_id' : 0x0af0,
'usb_device.product_id': 0x6701,
}
__name__ = "Option GT Max 3.6"
conn_dict = OPTION_DICT

HARDWARE_DB = [
HuaweiE620(),
HuaweiE220(),
OptionGlobeTrotter3G(),
Option3GDatacard(),
OptionGTMax36(),
Sierra875(),

Bad news for Sierra AirCard 875 user, it seems that this particular card is using the same port (ttyUSB0) for control and data which causes the software failed to load.

Pablo, any comment on Sierra 875 card? I have the AT command documentation and will send it to you if required.

Regards,

kgb0y

This is excellent! Upcoming version 0.9.6 will support your device. Thanks a lot! Supporting cards from the same vendor is relatively easy, if anyone else has an Option or Huawei card that is not supported, supporting it is as easy as kgb0y has just shown.

Well, the software right now needs devices with two serial ports. Good news is that we are designing the second version of the application now and it will support devices with just one serial port (like your card, or early bluetooth mobiles). You will have to wait some months till is released thou. Thanks again for your collaboration

Well, 0.9.6 has just been released and it features support for the Option GT 3.6 Max (amongst other things) download, enjoy and please report any problem/bug you might encounter. I'd like to encourage people with Huawei/Option cards that are not yet supported by the application to contribute back to the project as kgb0y has done

Kernel Oops on running program!

I just tried 0.9.6 on my Ubuntu 7.04 installation and well it doesnt seem to be very happy.

Basically I did the following inserted my E620 card waited for a couple of seconds and then ran vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux and I get kernel errors from syslog and then I'm returned to the command prompt.

Below is the kernel logs, hopefully someone can tell me what is going on here.

Hi Pablo,

I'll waiting for the second version that will support devices with just one serial port .... Linux still showing 3 serial ports but only one is used for data and control

Thanks to Pablo and the team for all the hard work done.

Cheers,

Did you all download and install vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux_0.9.6_all_feisty.deb? This is the latest version. It should have no problem with option card. Please make sure there is an active internet connection during the installation so that the installation script could download all dependencies.

I do not have Huawei Card on hand so I test it.

I think Pablo is probably on break again. Hopefully, he'll be back soon.
