New 3G device manager for Linux!

OK - setting static DNS addresses and changing 'APN host' to 'internet' allows it to connect properly. But there's a catch (22) - it won't start unless there's already an internet connection up ... otherwise it gets stuck with the startup progress bar at about 35% with the status showing "Authenticating ...". What needs to authenticate with what? Is this a Python/Twisted authentication, perhaps?

yeah it seems so

Is the app working ok?

Well.. it's working no problem for SMS which is cool..

But I have not yet managed to get it to connect..

When I click the "connect" button, nothing happens?

I also noticed that in the "hint area" at the bottom of the app window next to the signal level it says: 3G FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I guess this is where it should display the network name or something?

EDIT: I ran "vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux-debug" to see if I could get some output.. this is what I get as soon as I click "connect":

Hi,

well it can do much more than sending SMS

on which distro are you running the software? Debian? The software checks if pppd is setuid, in that case it will just start wvdial, if its not setuid it will try to launch with gksudo. Gksudo is installed by default on Ubuntu/Guadalinex but not in Debian

. I have to say that the .deb is built for Ubuntu not Debian

We have to support several distros and this subtle differences are beyond us

Another option would be to add your user to the dip group.

The name issue is probably because you are using a Huawei E620 or any other card that returns the network name of the network in its numeric representation. There's a csv file with all the "numeric id - network name" pairs at:
/usr/share/vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux/resources/extra/networks.csv

If your net id is not present on that file then I'll be happy to include the info for the next release

Another option is that your card responds really strange to the COPS? command. Either way use the -debug shell script to launch the app and copy the AT+COPS? response to see whats going on.

Using wvdial directly does give valid DNS addresses, so maybe it isn't necessary to specify them manually. I suspect it is something to do with the 'APN host' setting. By default it is set to 'ac.vodafone.es'; I have tried things like "Vodacom-SA", but that didn't help. What should it be?

If you had a wvdial.conf that was working for you, you can always tweak the template that VMCCdfL uses:

/usr/share/vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux/resources/templates/wvdial.conf.tpl

The $something in the template shouldn't be removed! They will be expanded later and could end up useless

Actually I'm using Fedora Core (6) ... and also I'm using a Huawei E220 (usb) not an E620..

I've also been running the app as root with su ..

I'm on MTN btw ... which does seem to appear in the csv file:

Any idea why it does that?

About the gksudo thing.. yea.. Fedora Core doesn't come with it...

Just an idea, but couldn't you also put in a check if the current user is root in which case you can just execute wvdial straight without needing to bother about gksudo or whatever? - That way as a last resort on systems without gksudo you could still use it just by running the app as root..

I'll see if I can get gksudo install on my system anyway though..

Well, then installing gksu from freshrpms will work for you. Thanks for the MTN netid, it will be in 0.9.5 final.

About the gksu/root thing... for the vast majority of users running an app as root is not a big thing, but you also have this security paranoids that doesn't like to run things as root. So we have put a big effort on making possible to run the app without having an id == 0. This has proven to be a big effort with all this small but annoying differences between distros. Check out the vmc.common.oal module

Hmm... you must have misunderstood me..

It is already in the current one..

Anyway... I just installed gksu and hey.. now it's all working!

The only thing still wrong is the network name.. but oh well.. that's no crisis.

Yea.. I can sympathise with that.. the million and one distro's can be a pain to a developer I guess..

Hmm... you must have misunderstood me.. It is already in the current one..

Anyway... I just installed gksu and hey.. now it's all working!
The only thing still wrong is the network name.. but oh well.. that's no crisis.

Yea.. I can sympathise with that.. the million and one distro's can be a pain to a developer I guess..

Yeah I misunderstood you, my bad

Gksu is a required dependency to install the rpm anyway, did you use the --nodeps option?

About the network name... your E220 response to the COPS? command is atypical. Dunno why does it respond on that way, its the standard way to ask the card "gimme the name/id of the network i'm registered with"

(Takes 3 clicks on the 'Cancel' button to get it to shut down)

Then, using the usual 'wvdial huawei_e620 strength internet 3gonly 384k' does connect OK.

Hi,

one of the first commands that VMCCdfL issues to the 3g device is ATE0 which means "I don't want you to echo my commands". Your card doesn't replies to that command and VMCCdfL just waits for the reply. So far the only card I had seen that sometimes responds buggy was the E220. It seems that some E620s act the same way too. Can you send me the firmware version of the card? Till we implement a workaround (basically timeouts for the AT commands), the solution for the E220 is unplugging & plugging it again. That resets its state machine. Does this *always* happens to you, or is it from time to time?

Closing the program has a 2 second delay to shutdown cleanly.

Error connecting to internet

Hi,

I am running feisty fawn ubuntu and using a Huawei E620 datacard to connect to Vodacom SA. I have successfully installed and started the Vodacom Mobile Connect Card Driver for Linux but am having issues connecting to the internet.

The GUI shows that I have a signal from Vodacom ZA, I setup the APN host as internet, and static nameservers deselected. But cannot connect to the internet. The diagnostic tool shows the following error:

Code:

Checking if ppp interface is up...	ERROR

This output to the screen when run in debug mode:

Code:

2007/05/09 10:56 +0200 [-] WVDIAL: pppd closed their stdout!
2007/05/09 10:56 +0200 [-] WVDIAL: pppd closed their stderr.
2007/05/09 10:56 +0200 [-] WVDIAL: quitting

Any ideas?

Thanks

Richard

Hi Richard,

the diagnostics tool helps once you're connected to the internet and you don't know why you cannot surf, resolve names, whatever, but you gotta be connected. The output you've pasted is not really helpful as that is just the end of the connection attempt.

I don't know what are the connection settings for Vodacom SA. Perhaps Tazz_Tux could help here. BTW I must give credit to him as his initial wvdial.conf helped us loads, thanks Tazz_Tux

No.. actually I installed from the source package..

I hardly ever install binary packages.. except when I'm initially setting up my system, thereafter I prefer to use source packages where I can..

Oh darn..

but I'll not wallow in grief..

I know which network I'm on so the app doesn't have to tell me..

Well, I'm not fond of cybercoffees down there

Here in Spain it'd cost you around 1-2 euros with the cd inclusive, that's why I mentioned it

You're missing the pynotify module, but u also said that you managed to install it. Whats the output of "dpkg -L python-notify" ?
