[opensuse] Mobile broadband
I have been trying to get mobile broadband working on my laptop. I tried openSUSE11.2, and now 11.3. I have a certain amount of success. But no final joy. I suspect it is my lack of knowledge that is the problem here. I am trying to use a Swedish service called "Comviq Surf" that provides a USB modem. It is a per-day/week/month service, similar to what you get in hotels for wireless. The modem is (from lsusb): idVendor 0x12d1 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. idProduct 0x1001 E620 USB Modem bcdDevice 0.00 iManufacturer 2 HUAWEI Technology iProduct 1 HUAWEI Mobile There are some issues with this device presenting itself as a disk. Happily, openSUSE contains the support to deal with this (unmount the disk and then access the GSM modem part). After the devices is attached, I see this in /var/log/messages: NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): new GSM device (driver: 'option1') NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): exported as /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/2 NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): now managed NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): device state change: 1 -> 2 (reason 2) NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): deactivating device (reason: 2). NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): device state change: 2 -> 3 (reason 0) NetworkManager: <WARN> user_connection_get_settings_cb(): user_connection_get_settings_cb: Invalid connection: 'NMSettingGsm' / 'number' invalid: 2 NetworkManager: <WARN> wait_for_connection_expired(): Connection (2) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/1 failed to activate (timeout): (0) Connection was not provided by any settings service NetworkManager: <WARN> wait_for_connection_expired(): Connection (2) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/1 failed to activate (timeout): (0) Connection was not provided by any settings service Which looks like a mix of good and bad news. Given that I do not know what 'reason 2' or 'reason 0' are, well, who is to say which type of news this is. I do have this device: crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 2010-07-04 21:41 /dev/ttyUSB0 Anyway, at this point, the KDE Network Manager has detected it, and allows me to configure it. Of course, this is where the fun starts. I found a site that provides some information about this device under Linux (it is all in Swedish): http://linuxwiki.se/index.php/Mobilt_bredband So, I tried their suggested configuration, which is mainly that the APN is either data.comviq.se or mobileinternet.tele2.se, and that the number is #99*. So, I entered this information in the Network Manager. I also entered the PIN and PUK code. The manager accepts and remembers the settings. And that is where I find myself. I do not see a connection happening. There is an occasional blue light (heartbeat-looking) on the USB modem. But nothing more. I tried disabling my wireless connection so that, in the absence of any connection, this one might be initiated. Nope. Having gotten this far, I cannot believe that the final steps are broken. (I see half-full glasses everywhere.) I just do not know what the next step is supposed to be. I expected the modem to make a connection that allows my browser visit a page to enter the pay card number and thus start the clock ticking on a 24-hour session. Like in a hotel wireless setup. I have the code. Just no place to use it! My suspicion is that the next step involves ppp. Since I entered the number to call, I would think Network Manager is planning on making the call and initiating the connection. Perhaps not. Maybe it is just nosy/misleading and expects me to do more configuration elsewhere? Any suggestions? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

I am trying to use a Swedish service called "Comviq Surf" that provides a USB modem. It is a per-day/week/month service, similar to what you get in hotels for wireless. The modem is (from lsusb):
idVendor 0x12d1 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. idProduct 0x1001 E620 USB Modem bcdDevice 0.00 iManufacturer 2 HUAWEI Technology iProduct 1 HUAWEI Mobile
[snip] This looks a lot like what I get with the Vodafone UMTS stick I use in Germany. I fiddled with the same steps you did, with the same results. The first issue is the USB Mode switch... with 11.2, anything provided via the repos (version 0.9.6) didn't really work.. it appeared to turn off the USB drive part, but never properly initialized the modem. i haven't tried again with 11.3 - but I think that comes with 1.1.2.... with Ubuntu 10.04, the USB mode switch (version 1.1.0-2) works fine. So I'm guessing that's the first step... make sure you're using a high enough version of the USB Modeswitch app. I've not been able to convince Gnome or KDE4 NetworkManagers to connect (in openSUSE 11.2 updated to Factory, openSUSE 11.3 RC2, and Ubuntu 10.04). Two critical bits of info you already have found... The APN and the number to dial... I tried the same info, but for Vodafone Germany in my NetworkManager... same identical results as you reported... My solution was this: https://forge.betavine.net/frs/?group_id=12 This is specific to Vodafone, but... maybe there is some why you can adapt it to your provider? It appears to be the same class of device (internally a Huawei... I'm not 100% sure on the device/product number)....

Lots of files... I think the vodahone mobile connect driver is a driver from vodafone that works with their service. The python twisted stuff is, I think, for decoding html. So I am guessing it fiddles with the web pages from vodafone. I see that the python-notify spec refers to a udev rule for the device. I can perhaps see if that is up to any magic. Otherwise, I fear that the solution is in the driver, which is vodafone. Thanks for the info. I will look at it more this evening. Perhaps there is more that I have missed. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

Yup. I was quite impressed that they actively support Linux - although the Linux drivers are not on the device itself.. only Windows drivers there.
I think the vodahone mobile connect driver is a driver from vodafone that works with their service.
Possible... although, people say they've been able to connect without it... so... One thing the software does is monitor bandwidth usage... that's a major part of what it's doing... that plus an SMS applet.

I haven't dissected the application - once I stumbled on it and installed it, it "just worked" so I left it at that. Fingers crossed there's something that can be extracted from the Python app to give a clue how to config the UMTS stick without the custom app. Alternatively.... Vodafone is in Sweden too :-) You could swap to their prepaid UMTS stick of all else fails... at least they actively support openSUSE. Reception is a bit spotty while I'm on the trains, but otherwise, it's been working great.

I thought vodafone closed up shop in Sweden a while back. I will check again. I do know that people complain about the Comviq/tele2 setup. Too expensive, very small data quantities allowed. So maybe I should just skip it. I have also heard good things about 3. There are some people using it with Linux. Details are sketchy at this time. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

Mmmm you're right.. sold to Telenor.

My prepaid UMTS is currently 5 mins free per 24h period, then I can buy credit for 15 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours or 1 month. Each level has a 1GB data cap. Seems low for one month, but at 24h, it's fine - I've yet to go over 1GB in a 24h period of using it while traveling.

I can't give any good suggestions.. can't read Swedish. then again I can't read much German either and I managed to figure it out in Germany :-) I'll ask a friend in Stockholm... he might have a suggestion....

There are some issues with this device presenting itself as a disk. Happily, openSUSE contains the support to deal with this (unmount the disk and then access the GSM modem part). After the devices is attached, I see this in /var/log/messages:
NetworkManager: (ttyUSB0): new GSM device (driver: 'option1') NetworkManager: (ttyUSB0): exported as /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/2 NetworkManager: (ttyUSB0): now managed NetworkManager: (ttyUSB0): device state change: 1 -> 2 (reason 2) NetworkManager: (ttyUSB0): deactivating device (reason: 2).

Which looks like a mix of good and bad news. Given that I do not know what 'reason 2' or 'reason 0' are, well, who is to say which type of news this is. I do have this device:

[snip] Hello! This won't be a real help, I am only writing about my very recent experience with the same device. Less than a weak ago I had to use Huawei E220 (I guess this is the same as as yours in the device info, at least very similar) with Ubuntu 10.4 with gnome and networkmanager. The device either was not recognized as modem, only as cdrom, or if it was recognized the connection did not work. I remembered that in previous Ubuntu it worked out of the box. So I tried it with a live Ubuntu 9.04 CD and it did work, I only had to accept the default values the system had offered, I had not change phone number, login, password, nothing, and it made the connection. I don't know about this device and opensuse anything as I never tried it in opensuse (the device is not mine), but I guess that recent systems use some newer software in which something has been changed so that they can not use the device anymore. On the Ubuntu forums you can find several threads related to this issue. A few examples: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/546728 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/592564 FInaly, maybe this link helps or has some useful info: http://www.betavine.net/bvportal/resources/datacards/os/suse Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is interesting for vodafone. Perhaps I need to skip the tele2/comviq thing and try a different supplier. But I suspect the issue I now have is a general mobile broadband setup thing in openSUSE and not this particular device. Unless I can see where openSUSE is failing because of this device. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

I did see that. I figured that the card was what the card was and that the site was in error. Still, they are all listed as working. But it did decrease m confidence in all this a few %.

Hum... I have been trying with the most recent 11.3 as well. Perhaps I should remove the PIN code. It is the factory default, which is 0000. I will try that. It would be great if I could at least see that something is being tried and is failing. As always, lack of meaningful messages bites one the the nether regions. BTW, does this device work with the vodafone Linux drivers mentioned earlier in this thread? I thought vodafone used a different device.

Bit of progress with 11.3. I can now get a connection with wvdial. I
just plugged in the modem, edited /etc/wvdial.conf, and ran wvdial. I
get an IP address, and I think a gateway. But nothing seems to work. I
cannot ping the gateway. Maybe the gateway does not support pings. But
nothing I tried worked. I am not sure the DNS is correct. But I am
trying pinging with IP addresses. Just in case the ISP is blocking
everything until I log in, I tried the web. Nothing. Of course, I am
assuming that a web login is used here...
I can taste the solution...
For those who are interested in these things, here are the various files
and what things look like. Note this is not using (K)NetworkManager, as
that seems a dead end at this time.

Indeed I expected a 'UG' entry. I wonder why it is not getting set up. Should wvdial be doing this? Or the ppp daemon it starts? Are you using the same modem in knetworkmanager? I never got that to do anything. It detected it was present, and I could configure it. But nothing ever happened. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
