 |
|
Hi,
I have HUWAI E169 Mobile Broadband UMTS stick (working under Ubuntu) and want to get it to work under gentoo. Ubuntu is using NetworkManager (I think) but under ubuntu I am using wicd. Do I need network-manager to get it working or is there another way?
Thanks!

LonelyStar,
I use wvdial and stop my wireless manually. Its all console stuff.
I suppose I should make a net.ppp0 symlink to automate things.

Hey NeddySeagoon,
cant you tell me how you configured wvdial?
I tried this:
| Code: |
[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Dial Command = ATD
Phone = *99#
Carrier Check = no
Stupid Mode = 1
ISDN = 0
Username = tchibo
Init1 = ATZ
Password = tchibo
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 9600
#Init3 = AT+CPIN=XXXX
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","webmobil1"
|
Based on information, i found in the net. XXXX is my pin. webmobil1 ist the APN.
If I do it like this (pin setting commented out), I get:
| Code: |
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","webmobil1"
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","webmobil1"
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATD*99#
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATD*99#
NO CARRIER
|
If I uncomment the Init3 line (and rename the existing Init3 to Init4), I get:
| Code: |
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Sending: AT+CPIN=8170
AT+CPIN=XXXX
ERROR
--> Bad init string.
|
Any help?
Thanks!

My wvdial.conf is this:-
| Code: | [Dialer defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Init1 = ATZ
Phone = *99#
Username = *
Password = *
Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP"
[Dialer vodaphone]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.tele2.se"
Phone = *99#
Username = *
Password = *
New PPPD = yes
Auto DNS = 1
[Dialer pin]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = AT+CPIN=1234
|
but I don't have a pin set and I invoke it with so only the [Dialer defaults] section is ever used. This starts ppp0 and normally it just works. I have has the network return me dud nameservers from time to time and if I forget to put wlan0 down /etc/resolv.conf gets in a mess.
My provider, Vodafone, does not use Usernames or Passwords so I really do have * in there.
