Hi folks,
it seems that I've made a mistake by subscribing a HSDPA with my provider (Vodafone)... at least I have 15 days to try it out before bringing it back...
Well, after googling around for a while I cannot get the device to work at all... Some of the links I found do provide very useful information but in the end I still cannot use that device from my laptop...
So, before flooding you with logfiles, configurations and so, I'd like to know: has anyone here successfully installed such HSDPA device under openSuSE 10.2?? if so, which considerations should I keep in mind?
I Assume you mean HUAWEI E220 USB. I did :) Here are a few instructions to get it to work: 1) At /etc/modprobe.conf.local, insert the following lines: options usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003 options usb_storage delay_use=0 that last line may not be needed but, just try with it first... 2) at /etc/sysconfig/kernel file, find MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="" and replace it with MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="usbserial" It might be safer to also run /sbin/SuSEconfig after you save your changes. 3) Create a file named '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-huaweie220.rules' and place the following line inside. BUS="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}="12d1", SYSFS{idProduct}="1003", SYSFS{bNumInterfaces}=" 1", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/huaweiAktBbo-i386.out" 4) go to http://www.kanoistika.sk/bobovsky/archiv/umts/ download the huaweiAktBbo-i386.out file, place it on /usr/local/bin/, and give it permissions to execute. NOTE: If your architecture isn't i386, you have to download the .c file and compile it yourself... 5) On YaST, create a modem connection with a provider. Here are my files:: /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-modem0 BOOTPROTO='none' DIALCOMMAND='ATDT' DIALPREFIX='' DIALPREFIXREGEX='' INIT1='ATZ' INIT2='AT&F' INIT3='AT&FE0V1X1&D2&C1S0=0' INIT8='ATM0' INIT9='ATX3' MODEM_DEVICE='/dev/ttyUSB0' NAME='Modem' PPPD_OPTIONS='' PROVIDER='provider0' SPEED='460800' STARTMODE='hotplug' UNIQUE='' USERCONTROL='no' /etc/sysconfig/network/providers/provider0 ASKPASSWORD='no' AUTODNS='yes' DEFAULTROUTE='yes' DEMAND='yes' DNS1='195.23.16.25' DNS2='195.23.16.26' DSLSUPPORTED='no' IDLETIME='0' IPADDR='' ISDNSUPPORTED='no' MODEMSUPPORTED='yes' MODIFYDNS='yes' MODIFYIP='yes' PASSWORD='tmn' PHONE='*99#' PROVIDER='TMN' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STUPIDMODE='yes' USERNAME='tmn' You may change this as it best fits your needs. 6) Reboot your system with the device plugged in. You shouldn't have to but, just trust me... REMARK 1: Try to use the shorter cable. If you need the longer cable always connect both ends. REMARK 2: This works for devices with PID,VID of 0x12d1,0x1003 respectively only. If you do not have that device, please place here the contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices. REMARK 3: I have USB_DEVICEFS compiled in my kernel, witch does not come with openSUSE 10.2 default kernel. It shouldn't be needed but, if you manage not to get it work I will remove it for my kernel and try it. Let me know. REMARK 4: to bring internet up, just try to ping an external address. if it gives you a network unreachable try a 'ifup modem0'. Well, good luck...
Any hints are welcomed!
TIA, Martin
