New 3G device manager for Linux!

Has anyone tried this on Mandriva 2008.0 I get this output from the debug script

I am 100% sure it is a dependency issue, wvdial does work for me though and am happy to use it that way it just would be nice to have a gui for managing the connection.

I am using the e220 modem.

Mandrake also has a utility drakconnect which sees and configures the modem and i can use the normal network util to connect the modem but the problem here is If I unplug the modem during a session I have to reboot and reconfigure it with drakconnect every time I cannot "hotplug" the device. I can however in the same session ifdown and ifup (from konsole or network manager) as long as I do not unplug the modem, which is annoying since I don't always need the device.

OK - so it does work!

I've managed to get a connection up; but haven't figured out how/where to fix the 'Unknown Network' yet. From the response to the AT+COPS command, it appears that Vodacom ZA uses a network ID of 65501. I added another network to the .../networks.py file (basically copied one that was there), but it still shows 'Unknown Network'. Came across one bug - if the profile name has a '/' in it, a 'no such directory' error results. And bad profiles cannot be deleted ... other than deleting the file ~/.vmc2/mobile-profiles/<bad-profile>. Sending SMS seems to work; but receiving not (was also the case with VMC 0.9.7.3)

Oh yes - and the dialog that pops up saying 'select the device you want to use' shows two Huawei E620 cards; and I only have one ...

I wouldn't be so sure about that

We're not supporting Mandriva, what I don't understand is how you managed to get there, you should have seen a popup saying you that your OS wasn't supported. If you want to write a plugin for mandriva I can help you in the mailing lists.

I've found the bug that was causing that the first time you started 1.99.7 the connect button wouldn't work (second time did thou

). It will be fixed in next release.

Once you've added the new networks, you'll need to rm -rf ~/.vmc2, and start the app again, you'll rebuild your network database. Send me the diff when u're happy with it please

Thanks for the bug report about the paths, silly from me. Receiving SMS works, I promise, I'll need more data for that one. Thanks again

This is a known bug in the plugin system, fixed in 1.99.10 (the next we'll release)

To get this far I did just about everyting from source (Pygtk, gnome-ptyhon, pygobjects vodafone etc.) Mandriva had python-devel all twisted apps and a few others.

With a bit of help I might be able to write the Mandriva plugin but my python knowledge is limited.

Installing from source is not enough, there are some serious differences between distros that left us with no option but to write a plugin system to abstract this differences. If you don't have a plugin for your distro, its not gonna work. Why don't you pop by the devel list and I help you out there?

VMC 1.99.7 no longer starts up (it did last night) ... shows the splash screen, and about two and a half bars on the progress meter. Debug output shows:

Where do I start looking? Reinstalling 0.9.7.3 makes everything work again.

Received 1.99.10 - thanks. It installs and works OK. I added:

class VodacomSouthAfrica(NetworkOperator):
netid = ["65501"]
name = "Vodacom"
country = "South Africa"
smsc = "+27829129"
apn = "internet"
username = "vodafone"
password = "vodafone"
dns1 = "196.207.32.69"
dns2 = "196.43.1.11"

to .../networks.py, removed ~/.vmc2; started it up; and it picked up the Vodacom details and built the profile. But it still shows 'Unknown Network'.

Thanks for the info, it'll be included for next release! The Unknown Network thing doesn't makes sense, if it autocompletes the profile, it should find the network later on too!

I'm getting the above for the twisted dependency

I just got and installed Gutsy yesterday

Perhaps you had a problem while updating your sources.list coz I'm running Gutsy too and python-twisted is in main:

Filename: pool/main/t/twisted/python-twisted_2.5.0-2build1_all.deb

AirWolf · Nov 9, 2007

Oops, I didn't have main ticked in the sources list

I've got twisted and VMC installed. When I try to run a pop-up says the following:

Permissions Problem
Vodafone Mobile Connect Card driver for Linux needs the following files and dirs with some specific permissions in order to work properly: /etc/ppp/pap-secrets should have 0660 mode, found 0600 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets should have 0660 mode, found 0600

Hi Pablo,

I've tested VMC2 and it seems that it still won't support HSDPA cards with 1 port such as Sierra AirCard 875.

Hopefully it will soon

No Sierra cards supported

, but we do support Novatel's u630 and u740 which are really similar to the Sierras. Devices just one serial port are supported, but you gotta write a plugin

I've installed VMC 1.99.7 on Kubuntu Gutsy and everything looks good except that it doesn't connect when I click on the Connect button.

I get 5 bars GPRS signal strength and the network is correctly identified as Vodacom-SA. Where should I start looking for the problem?
I couldn't find any logs anywhere.

I have a working wvdial config so I know the device works.

Thanks
Paul

Paul,

1.99.7 shipped whit a silly bug, the first time you configure a profile the connect button wont work. But if you close and start the app again it'll work
