If your card is not configured automatically you can use one of the following howto's
This HowTo has been revised and now includes three methods, first one using new Airprime driver, second(longer) using USBserial driver and third for USB760 users.

If first one is not working for you try the second one , from my test there is no speed difference between both drivers .

First method using Airprime driver

1 -Insert card

2 -in terminal type:

dmesg
If you see something like this:

[ 171.945756] airprime 6-1:1.0: airprime converter detected
[ 171.945890] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[ 171.945933] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[ 171.945983] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB2
[ 171.945990] airprime 6-1:1.1: airprime converter detected
[ 171.946034] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB3
[ 171.946105] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB4
[ 171.946149] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB5
[ 171.946155] airprime 6-1:1.2: airprime converter detected
[ 171.946200] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB6
[ 171.946242] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB7
[ 171.946284] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB8

These are your device identifiers for your EVDO card.
This means that your device has been installed with Airprime driver

3 -open new terminal window and type:

sudo wvdialconf
gksudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

replace line:
Init1 = ATZ

with this:
Init1 = ATX0

and add this :
Stupid Mode = on
Auto Reconnect = on
Carrier Check = no
[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0
[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP
In the line " Username = " put your phone number followed by your providers domain , for Verizon it is :
your phone number(including area code) and domain(for verizon it is @vzw3g.com) ,
in this format: Username = 9178889999@vzw3g .com
for sprint it will be 9178889999@sprintpcs.com, for At&t / Cingular WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM ,for Alltel 9178889999@alltel.net and so on , further post have config's posted for other providers.
In line " password = " in case of Verizon put : " vzw " for Cingular : " cingular1 " , for Alltel " alltel "and so on , make sure to check with your provider as username and/or password may differ for other regions and countries .

4.In the line "Phone =" your ISP's data phone number , most of the time it will be #777

5.Now click save and open yet another terminal widow type:
wvdial
With some systems this window needs to stay open(although can be minimized)during usage of the card.

6.Open browser , in the tab File UNcheck Work Offline and try any site (like google.com for an example) .

For graphical interface setup just go to package manager and check box to install gnome-ppp .

If this howto has worked for your device please post it to this forum so your adapter can be listed as one of compatible devices for others considering a purchase .
Happy surfing.8)

---------------------------------------------Second method useing USBserial driver.------------------------------------------

This section has been created to fix issues created in Gutsy and applies to Gutsy and Hardy and all future releases only
All upgrades directly from Feisty seem to work fine unless the Evdo card / modem is upgraded then it automatically plugs default Gutsy driver.
In case this happens or you just installed fresh 7.10 you can execute following fix.

!!! Since Gutsy USB handling has changed !!!
So absolutely make sure to re enable /proc/bus/usb/devices by executing following :

With your evdo card removed type following in the terminal :

1.

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh

2.
Now remove " # " symbols from the front of following lines of code :

#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
#ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
#mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

3.
Now to stop new Airprime driver from loading execute following in the terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

4.
Now insert following at the bottom :

#Block Airprime driver to force kernel to use usbserial
blacklist airprime

5.
Now you will need to reboot .

Upon successful completion of previous 5 steps you shoud have all neccesary directories created as well be able to obtain correct tty??? identifier for your device.

Again!Above section section is a recent addition to fix problems with gutsy and hardy, if you are running feisty, start from here.
From here you should be able to continue with this how to as above fix will enable single device identifier which can be used for setup with wvdial , KPPP dialer or Gnome PPP .
If you find more streamlined way to do it or other posts that may help us feel free to let us know by posting it in this thread .

I always suggest to back up any files you will be editing in case you will need to retrace your steps .
Devices i have used are Verizozn Motorola v3 EVDO enabled phone connected via USB cable as well as number of other EVDO cards like PC5750 .

Make sure your device is activated by service provider and if possible test on other OS to witch you may have software and drivers.

Open terminal window and type:

sudo -i enter your password.
Now all commands typed in this window will be executed with root privileges .
In terminal type:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install wvdial Before you insert the Card or connect USB cable (for Build-In minicards see bottom of this post) open terminal window and type :

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > devices Insert your data card or plug in USB cable and wait for a few seconds before continuing.
In terminal type:

dmesgYou will get output with some device info like this :

[17186692.460000] usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
[17186692.460000] cdc_acm 3-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[17186708.176000] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 4
[17186714.588000] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address At the end of this output you will find your device witch will be represented like this: ttyACM0 or ttyUSB or similar , make note of it you will need it later.
Now type in terminal:

diff /proc/bus/usb/devices devices | grep Vendor Output will be similar to:

< P: Vendor=1234 ProdID=5678 Rev= 0.00 Make note of lines: Vendor=1234 , ProdID=5678

Now in teminal type following code Replacing values 1234 and 5678 with your own output from previously noted lines ::

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1234 product=0x5678 Now you will edit wvdial config file by first typing in terminal :

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf In new opened window replace all text with following :

[Dialer Defaults]
Stupid Mode = on
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 921600
Init = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Phone = #777
Username = ??????????@vzw3g.com
Password = vzw
Init1 = ATZ
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Auto Reconnect = on
Carrier Check = no
[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0
[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDPIn the line "Modem =" replace ttyACM0 with value you noted from output of " dmesg " command.
In the line " Username = " put your phone number followed by your providers domain , for Verizon it is area code , your phone number and domain ,
in this format: 9178889999@vzw3g.com
for sprint it will be 9178889999@sprintpcs.com , for At&t / Cingular WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM ,for Alltel 9178889999@alltel.net and so on , further post have config's posted for other providers.
In line " password = " in case of Verizon put : " vzw " for Cingular : " cingular1 " and so on , make sure to check with your provider as username and/or password may differ for other regions and countries .

If you are Cingular/AT&T subscriber and after completing whole guide you have problem with dropping connection you have to add another int line in wvdial script which is posted here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343989&page=3
If you need any specific info regarding your domain or password please contact your cellular provider.
The last thing you need to configure is wvdial line checking , by disabling LCP echo checking witch is not supported by most of providers.
Open terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial And insert aditionally those lines:

lcp-echo-failure 0
lcp-echo-interval 0Make sure your ethernet jack is unplugged and wifi radio switch is turned off.
Now you can start connection by typing in terminal :

wvdial

In case the kernel does not support one of your new devices (like Moto Q) you will need to to patch the kernel in order to recognize the new hardware.
This post will guide you through additional steps you'll need to take.

If you are having problems installing using this method or if you have Built-In WAN Card see this post:
http://www.savvyadmin.com/2007/06/03/ubuntu-dell-5700-evdo/

Another thing i have been suggested is automating the connection process.
To do so in Gnome go to :

System > Preferences > Sessions
next, click on the tab labeled, "Startup Programs"
then click the "Add" button.
In the Startup Command field, enter "wvdial" and then click "OK".
Then restart your system.Now make sure your EVDO card is inserted before you boot it up , it will initiate the connection process automatically in the background connecting you to internet the second you log in.

Third for Verizon USB760 users

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules
find the line that contains Novatel_Mass_Storage and append the following to it:

RUN+="/usr/bin/eject %k"
save and close

sudo gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi
Add this in the USB devices section


<match key="@info.parent:usb.vendor_id" int="0x1410">
<match key="@info.parent:usb.product_id" int="0x6000">
<match key="@info.parent:usb.interface.number" int="0">
<append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">modem</append>
<append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist">IS-707-A</append>
</match>
</match>
</match>
Save and close

Now plug in your card and make sure it didn't mount anything (Places -> Computer USB Drive shouldn't be mounted)
Now left click the network applet and select 'Auto mobile broadband (CDMA) connection'
Let it connect.
If it doesn't make sure to go into VZAccessManager on a Windows machine and activate your USB 760.

I like to thanks to all those that have helped me through forums,web pages and personal support to create this how to .

hi, i used this guide just then
initially everything worked except actually having firefox go to a page
but then i disabled the ethernet and that seemed to fix it
so yeah, no real problems, thanks for this.
(using telstra bigpond evdo to write this in ubuntu now :) )

is there some way that i can get it to connect without having to start the connection from the terminal? like have it in the backround? (its not a timed connection for me)

Yes you can run it in the background by having it started automatically at the login.
To do so in Gnome go to System > Preferences > Sessions next, click on the tab labeled, "Startup Programs" and then click the "Add" button. In the Startup Command field, enter "wvdial" and then click "OK" and restart.
Now make sure your EVDO card is inserted before you boot it up , it will initiate the connection process automatically in the background connecting you to internet the second you log in.
I will be adding this to this HowTo
Have fun.:D

Hi, I am able to get as far as able to talk to the modem using the terminal or gtkterm. (i.e. send AT commands). However when I send ATDT commands I'm getting no carrier returned.

The card was activiated and used in Windows prior.

i have never used any other connection managers simply because wvdial is really easy to operate and just works.
Try Dmesg command to get exact info on serial connection setting of your device , which can change by one digit simply by quick removal and insertion .
Finally try to set it up using this how to and just compare /etc/***.conf files on both applications, this way you should easily identify what exactly causing the problem .;)

I'd just like to say that I used the steps posted and they worked for me. I'm using a Pantech PX500 with Sprint, on a Toshiba A45-S150 with Feisty.

The speeds I'm getting aren't blazing (430kbps down, 230kbps up) but they're not bad. I've heard that there is some fine tuning you can do to improve this. Something about patches and buffers, I'm not sure. If anyone knows of this let me know too please.

I'm in process of testing TCP/IP tweaks but before i have started i was getting up to 1.2Mbps download speeds with Pantech Verizon card PC5750 and this HOW-TO.
The post above is great addition for GUI people new to linux or little shy of using shell , personally i prefer wvdial but regardless of your choice it only dials in to to ISP and makes sure the circuit stays up while actually what you do from there as well how you configure your system and browser determines your overall speed .
Try Swiftfox and take look at :

WWW.SPEEDGUIDE.NET

Look under Broadband > Registry Tweaks > Linux , you'll find lot of easy to follow guides on Tweaking for linux and lots of other good reads .

thank you for this how-to. i actually am running OpenSuSE and i have been having a hellatious time with this whole process. one thing i keep running into is that after adding wvdial to my startup, the computer boots up and seems to connect with my phone-as-modem; however, until i fool with the network manager, kill wvdial, and restart it, it doesn't seem to hold.

is there something wrong with the way my system is handling networking that could be causing this, i.e. should i kill the network manager applet? if yes, how do i go about getting it back when i need to connect wirelessly/wired to a standard network?

thanks a bunch!

This is a very good HOWTO, I especially enjoy using wvdial versus having to come up with your own PPPD scripts.

However, using usbserial for these EVDO connections is a BAD, repeat BAD idea. usbserial was not designed for high-speed connections such as EVDO connections.

Since kernel 2.6.18, the Airprime driver has been patched to allow full-speed EVDO connections. Essentially, instead of using usbserial, simply type in the following:

Thanks for the input , I'll definitely try it and post back the result but can you shoot little more info on the subject especially that theinternal serial USB hubs using usbserial driver which are used as USB host controller interface to expose kernel to a serial device , at least those newer ones (2.0) are capable of bus speeds at 480 Mbps where EVDO connection averages at around 1 Mbps which is very small fraction of the overall throughput capabilities of this particular type of a bus .
Except for default 1500 MTU size not being natively managed by your device there is nothing i could find that would impede data transfers.
I'll really appreciate if you could provide more detail on the issue.

The Network Manager applet does not like to play with any configurations created by other apps or system config utilities.
the first thing i would try to edit out all instances from its interface configuration file.
The file is located at:

sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
First make a backup of that file and then comment it all out except for your wi-fi wep or other encription keys and paste the following:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
let me know if you need more help with that.:D

Make sure your dialer script is configured properly and make you have configured correct serial device ( /dev/ttyUSB??? ) to be used by wvdial.
You can check it by inserting and removing your card and running dmesg which will display your devices serial identifier and then you will need to correct it in the wvdial config script, you should see something similar :

m@m:~$ dmesg
... omitted output
[17186692.460000] usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
[17186692.460000] cdc_acm 3-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[17186708.176000] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 4
[17186714.588000] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address
To edit wvdial script type in terminal :

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
Dialer scripts in this how to will work on all standard carrier networks so i don't see why it wouldn't work with cingular / AT&T systems.

I think I have the correct serial device (dev/ttyACM0)
I messed with the config file and got this far:

TO STONECUTTER your card is probably working correctly all you need to do is to restart the system , connect with EVDO making sure no other internet connection is interfering and then open the browser and all should work.
TO WHO_CARES
I'v haven't encountered this problem yet but it definitely looks like pppd isn't going through or can not receive keepalives or replays from your carier but luckily you are getting exit code = 16 and man page ( open terminal and type man pppd and look for error codes ) can point you in the right direction .

June 17th, 2007, 11:05 PM

all the man page says about exit code 16 is that it means the modem hung up.
I'm not sure if my phone hung up or if cingular cut the connection from their end though.
Any ideas on how to get the modem to not hang up?

Can this be done with a CDMA2000 1900MHZ PDA phone like the Hitachi G1000? Thanks.
This can definitely be done with any CDMA phone supporting evdo or other modem connections as long as the kernel recognizes the device and of course if there is a way to connect it to the PC you should be ok .
The 1900MHZ is just the frequency on which your phone and carrier communicate and has no effect on its ability to connect
One of the simplest ways is to connect the phone to usb or for that matter any connection of your choice and run " dmesg " command which will tell you what is happening when you connect it as well which connection is being assign to your device .
Additionally you can run " lshw " which will display all your hardware and it's kernel corresponding information.
If you happen to get your device up and running post back your findings .

Your dmesg shows that your phone is not being recognized by kernel .
This is mine dmesg output when the phone is connected, i used same phone with only difference that this one is from verizon.

Make sure that your cable isn't damaged or has crossed pin out ideally try other cables to make sure it's not a phisical connection problem .
In the future try to provide as much details as you can as this may shed a clue on what is wrong,
You should pay attention to ttyACM0 portion , this will tell you which connectuion idientifier has been assign to your device.

It cannot be the cable as it works in windows just fine. I have tried it on another laptop and it gives the same output as posted above. I took my friends Razor verizon evdo phone and the OS gives out the correct output ( with the ttyAMO). Could it be that sprint has something disabled on the phone?

My phone is the sprint Razor V3m (Red Phone). I cant think of any other detail that you might need

Mach1US

August 1st, 2007, 05:21 PM

Sprints Razr uses original Motorola software where Verizon has loaded their own version which is actually more restrictive ,verizon phones can not use bluetoth as a PC connection where sprint phones can (for the most part like razr v3 and some other ).
Assuming you are using updated feisty my next guess would be there is problem between your phone type and a driver.
You can try to patch the driver with airprime one.
I'v seen some claims stating that airprime allows you for faster speeds but after many of my own tests it has no impact (good or bad) on the overall speed , it may have been true in the past but i couldn't prove it so its just another way to connect the device.

To start Install the minimum build environment, Linux sources, and Linux headers for your currently-running kernel:
apt-get install build-essential linux-headers linux-source

Go into /usr/src/ and uncompress the kernel source code:
cd /usr/src
tar xjvf linux-source-2.6.17.tar.bz2

Enter the directory containing the airprime driver:
cd linux-source-2.6.17/drivers/usb/serial

Now, either apply the patch, or replace airprime.c with the pre-patched version (see above for download links).

If patching:
patch -p0 < airprime-sjain-012807.patch

If replacing (not recommended, patching is safer):
mv airprime.c airprime.c.bak
mv airprime-sjain-012807.c airprime.c

Normally, to patch a driver, you have to recompile the entire kernel tree and replace all the kernel modules as well as the core kernel image itself. But since we are using Ubuntu’s sources, we can only compile the driver’s that we need and overwrite the old ones.

To compile only the airprime dirver (this actually compiles all drivers in the directory):
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`

Then, install it (you need root privileges to overwrite the existing driver) and update module dependencies:
sudo cp airprime.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/airprime.ko
sudo depmod -a

Reboot. Your device should now be recognized by the airprime driver, and a new device node /dev/ttyUSB0 created.
The only problem is that when you upgrade the kernel it may override this driver with the serial usb driver .

Hi-
My setup works (verizon pc5750 through Addonics CardBus/PCMCIA adapter into my desktop.

1- I have to plug my PCMCIA card in after I reach the log-in window or it will fail.

2- I can only log-in via root account but not as user. It goes through some changes when I'm user then exits w/ error code 2. I've tried every-which-o-way of card insertion , log-in, auto start and bupkus! However, if I log-in as root then log-out and in as user the connection hangs on but I have to wait about 10 minutes for the new log-in to come up.

I wanna connect as root AND as user. (waa-waa-baby is losing it)

TIA All,
DLinn

August 6th, 2007, 05:16 PM

I'm currently using exactly same card as yours (verizon pc5750) in dell inspiron 6000 with and i'v never experienced any of those symptoms which leds me to believe your adapter is causing the problem.
Have you tried to use wvdial after issuing sudo -i .
Sorry but i have no experience with this type of adapters . :confused:

DLinn

August 7th, 2007, 02:02 AM

Arr Matey-

Seems unlikely to be hardware 'cause it works as advertised when I log in as root.

If I am logged in as user and I use terminal to start wvdial I get a pppd error 2 which man pppd says is "An error was detected in processing the options given, such as two mutually exclusive options being used." Now for a relative noob such as I that's clear as mud.

So here is some stuff to consider.

OK progress

If I start wvdial as "sudo wvdial" I'm connected as user.

Now I want the Sessions gizmo to log me in. So far no luck.

:D

Mach1US

August 8th, 2007, 03:04 PM

I know those error messages are very generic and basically are designed to say " something bad has happened , dig dipper to find out more " so i can understand your frustration.
Secondarily what do you mean Session gizmo ?
Additionally it looks you are being registered to the providers network as their DHCP servers are assigning you a ip address ( 75.218.206.226 ) to your WAN interface ( ppp0 ) so this means you have wireless communication working .
Also it shows receiving and sending communications between their routers and your pc ( on the bottom RX bytes means received and TX bytes means transmitted ) .
Try to test communications to internet by issuing a command " ping 216.239.59.147 " which is yahoo.com ip address.
If you will get reply something like :
64 bytes from 216.239.59.147: icmp_seq=1 ttl=233 time=578 ms
It means you are connected to the internet and we have to look for other things.
And one more thing , you do not need a password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets as this is only needed for PAP or CHAP authentication of which neither is used by Verizon also my /etc/ppp/peers folder has no ppp0 script .

DLinn

August 9th, 2007, 03:05 AM

Helloooo Again-

1- The Sessions gizmo:
Ubuntu Feisty Fawn has a menu item System ==> Preferences ==> Sessions. This applet allows the user to insert commands that will run whenever your log-in, not when you boot-up, but log-in. Mine has Network Manger, Evolution Alarm Notifier, Power Manger, Restricted Drivers Manger, Touchpad, Update Notifier, and Volume control.
It's very useful to me so check it out.

Any way I've been studying up on "sudo" and "sudoer" so I have configured my /etc/sudoers file to allow me to use wvdial without a password. If this works then I will be logged onto the network as soon as my interface comes up!

All this just to save 4 keystrokes.

Thanks again, the pc5750 appears about solved.

Will write soon.

Mach1US

August 10th, 2007, 03:16 AM

That's what you meant by Session Gizmo :#-o
It's great way to automate the process , in my case i'm using EVDO in one one location Wi-Fi in other and modem in my cell phone in another so i waned to control when to use which.
For me the easiest way was to create custom button which i can move in any part of a task bar and which allows me to do it without any key strokes.
To create it :

right click on the any clear part of a task bar
clickAdd To Panel
then clickCustom Aplication Launcher
in the field followingCommand : insert your command ( for instance wvdial)
while you doing it you can also click on Icon co create unique look to this button and from now every time you click on that newly created task bar button the command will be executed without opening the shell and typing the command.
Hope you can use it.

Hopefully someone in this thread can give me a hand.
I'm trying to use a newer phone running Windows Mobile 6 to do this.
I have a thread on it over here: Tethering 6800/Mogul/Titan (Sprint) (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=522600)

I'll just summarize my issue in this thread... when I try to connect to the inet with my phone in any way (through ppp, wvdial, just doing wvdialconf) I get this window on my phone and a failed attempt on linux.

Mach1US

August 13th, 2007, 05:52 PM

Did you try this how-to step by step and able to completed it ?
Do you have EVDO service enabled on this phone or just a basic data plan ?
I have not tried to set up sprint modems myself but i know for a fact that this how to works well with them.
If i'm not mistaking some sprint setups need user name and password in the wvdial.conf so check that as the easiest starting point.

Come back if you still have a problem , we'll try to get you up and running.

Well I'm leaving for my trip in about an hour, so I don't have time to work on this right now. I installed Windows 2000 on VirtualBox and am using pdanet through that for internet... works fine. I'm thinking its most likely an issue with Windows Mobile 6 not working with the current Linux methods. I'll work on it more when I get home next week and post anything I find out.

Hi-

Your pppd error 19 means "We failed to authenticate ourselves to the peer."

As root go to /etc/ppp and 'gedit' the file 'options' and check that 'noauth' is not commented out w/ a '#'.

If it is remove the '#', save the file and try again.

What DLinn means is make sure file /etc/ppp/options lists " noauth " command , this is what you shoud see when you done :

#
#Require the peer to authenticate itself before allowing network
# packets to be sent or received.
# Please do not disable this setting. It is expected to be standard in

Your problem is definitely with the authentication , what is happening the other side does not recognizes you as a legitimate user so it does not assigns you IP addres .
Check if your user name and password are configured correctly as this would be a first thing that would cause it.
Was your EVDO card or modem connecting before with any other machine or os (windows or mac) ?
Which provider do you use ?
Also What do you have in the /etc/wvdial.conf ?

Wel, I'm actually using a cell-phone over bluetooth for this, as I was told it should respond exactly as an EVDO card (it's a Motorola E815, which is basically a RAZR in disguise). I've never tried using it on windows, as this is my first computer with bluetooth, and the only time it booted into windows was by accident when I first got it.

My chap-secrets has this in it, with a similar entry in my pap-secrets:

5555555555\@vzw3g\.com * vzw

My /etc/wvdial.conf:

[Dialer Defaults]

I am wondering if the BlueTooth connection isn't playing tricks with us?
Do you know for sure that it can support all features needed for PPP protocol ?
We should isolate the problem to find out which wireless connectiom might be at fault , PC to phone or phone to carrier network.
If you have or you can borrow a mini USB cable like that:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-USB-cable-F-Canon-Olympus-Digital-Camera-U25_W0QQitemZ280144526724QQihZ018QQcategoryZ88657Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Try to use this how-to from beginning using the USB cable instead of BlueTooth.
Also once you get the cable you can check if the phones EVDO modem is properly activated on Verizons network by going to http://vzw.smithmicro.com where you can download windows and other versions of vzmanager software which includes all necessary drivers and setting for configuration less setup.
First try to get it up and running in windows which should take you less then 3 minutes to set it up , if it won't work trouble shoot with Verizon , once successful in windows try connect via USB and this how-to and again once you get it up and running see if BlueTooth will allow you to do the same.
From my own experience when i switched from using Razr v3 as a modem to a PC Card i had to call them and they had to enable additional data options on their end before i was able to start using the PC Card .
Hope this will do it.:wink:

Hi, all.

I tried using the HOWTO, and after tweaking a few items, I got my connection working with a Kyocera KPC650 EVDO card using an Acer Aspire 3690 for Movistar in Venezuela. I just have one question, and I'm sorry if it's too silly.

How do I close my connection? :lolflag:

OK, but what about if I didn't start it from the terminal? In my case, I added a custom launcher to my panel, and click on it to connect.

BTW, has anyone got this working using a graphical interface like GNOME PPP or any other?

Well, I managed to get this working with GNOME PPP, so I now have a quick graphical way of logging on and off. This should help a few people at the University. Thanks for all the help

First thing make sure the output from " dmesg " displays " ttyUSB0 " as an identifier for your Evdo Phone / modem.
If it does your problem is not with wvdial configuration , your phone is not communicating properly with kernel or has been assigned different device identifier.
Try to restart your machine , and follow all steps of this how to Exactly.
hopefully this will help.

Here's my working Motorola RAZR V3t (T-Mobile) config. I don't know how much of it is necessary, and how much is superfluous, but it works.

Here are the bits from dmesg:
ttyACM0

Here's the wvdial config:

NICE! THANKS! I'm going to try this with my Verizon LG Chocolate/VX8500 as soon as I can (misplaced my USB cable... might have to order another one... oh well they're only like $2 anyways if you use eBay like I did). By the way, has anyone else tried this with an LG VX8500/Chocolate?

Just wanted to point out that this method worked successfully with the Motorola V9m over a micro-USB connection.

I should also mention that once you issue the modprobe command as on the first post, the phone charges directly from the USB cable. (Essentially the equivalent of installing the corresponding Motorola USB drivers on Windows... nice to know that Linux does it so easily w/o any addons!)

Additionally if you are outside of evdo coverage area you can use the same method to use the cell phone as a dial up modem .
The speed isn't impressive but at least you getting connected .

For anybody interested here is link for obtaining FREE dialup account .
Registration is free as well as unlimited use , there is no charge whatsoever .

Mach1,

I've been searching hi and lo for a solution to my GPRS connection; I have followed your nice tutorial and have my wvdial file configured as this:

[Dialer Defaults]
Stupid Mode = on
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 921600
Init = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Phone = *99***3#
Username = webmegatel
Password = webmegatel
Init1 = ATZ
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Auto Reconnect = on
Carrier Check = no
[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0
[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP

When I run wvdial command in the terminal I get the following:

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

--> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK

Same exit code 16. I have tried different set ups with no luck. My GPRS connection in windows with the Moto Phone tools ask for the "access point name" APN, and I have always wondered if I need that somewhere in the wvdial config. I have a Moto L6 cell and I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 and I live in Honduras.

Thanks for any help

Your setup looks good as well as it shows that your modem sees and more importantly communicates with the carrier.
Link establishment is another question , it looks that one of the phases of link establishment is failing and that is why you are not being issued a DHCP configs.
Your modem is configured properly , most likely you have to edit or add another int. line to vwdial.conf .
Check back few posts back , some of the guys have posted their modifications and feel free to post yours once you find it .
Let me know if you'll still need little help.

Do not give up that easily , when you do it usually means you did get through 95% of all obstacles and you just have to grind through last few unfortunately hardest steps.

What happens when you try the graphical way?

GUI might be easier huh? I don't plan to give up yet as I intend to replace windows in all my PCs for good here at the radio station where I work. I'd like to use Campcaster and sound editors like Audacity ad the like. Cheers.

Your wvdial.conf looks correct.
My own first setup was with this exact prone on Verizon network and since i must have set it up at least doznen times without single problem so it must be something really silly.

1)Do you see on phones display little symbol " EVDO " indicateing you are in EVDO coverage ?
2)Is signal on your phone strong enough (two bars recommended) , if not try another location.
3)Did you put in your phone number in wvdial.conf correctly , without one in front of it , without spaces, brackets or anything else ?
4)Did you check another cable in case it's defective or incorrect ?
5)Have you tried it in windows recently to make sure EVDO service is still enabled and properly configured on Verizons end ?

If you want to try GUI dialer like KPPP or you need Verizon software for windows sent me e-mail and i'll send you a link and PDF file with instructions.
I'll check with my old V3m phone again and post the findings here.

Hello, all.

Quite a few things have happened since my last post. First of all, due to a few incidents which were all my fault, I formatted my HD and reinstalled Ubuntu. Before doing so, I backed up my wvdial.conf file (along with my other personal files). After reinstalling, I copied the backed-up file into the appropriate folder, and found a problem similar to the one scorpio_digit describes: an error 19.

After this, Gutsy was released, so I downloaded and upgraded to Gutsy before getting back to my error 19.... the error still ocurred, so I decided to follow all the steps in this original HOWTO, and everything turned out fine (even using my original wvdial.conf). I can perfectly login from the terminal.

My new issue, however, is that I can't connect via GNOME PPP. I downloaded and installed it, and set my phone number, ID, password and other parameters, but it still doesn't connect. After clicking on "connect", the blue light on the card flashes, and I see the "dialing" message, but nothing else happens.

Here is the output on the log:

/home/jesus/.wvdial.conf<Warn>: Ignoring malformed input line: ";Do NOT edit this file by hand!"

Any ideas as to what might be happening and how to solve this?

October 20th, 2007, 03:32 PM

I have installed the GUI KPPP and the modem seems to work fine goes to the point where the connections starts logs in verifying username and password (according to the KPPP window) but then I get the same message of wvdial of exit code=16.
What I want to do now is find a way to check the log or the process of connection in windows thorugh the Moto Phone Tools software which is what I use to connect, if you have any other idea please let me know.

There are few problems that surfaced post Gutsy :

There is no more /proc/bus/usb/devices directory !!!
Gutsy has changed its internal USB handling (this includes EVDO PCMCI cards) .
Additionally now EVDO cards are recognized and assigned airprime driver by default also device to kernel assignment has changed thus rendering previous set-ups unusable .
Once all those issues are solved i'll be posting Gutsy update so for now this how-to is valid up to Feisty (7.04).

JesCed did you do a upgrade to gutsy or fresh install?

vmosorio

October 21st, 2007, 02:23 PM

Alright Mach1, up to Feisty is now...

I found that the APN (access point name) can be sent on KPPP with this line in the init string: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.megatel.hn" ...
I get the same error message exit code=16. I tried removing the APN in the windows machine; it doesn't connect and says that I'm not suscribed to the DATA feature, it connects right away with the APN.
I haven't been able to find out in windows how to see the log of normal connection, there are some logs when there is trouble... here is one if you can understand it:

Hello. Answering your question, I did an upgrade to Gutsy, not a fresh install.

I also find it curious that you mention that previous installs don't work. As I said, I followed the original HOWTO posted on this thread, and it actually does work. As I said, I can connect fine from the terminal. It's only when I connect via GNOME PPP that I haven't been able to.

Here is the process I used in Feisty for my Pantech. If you have the Vendor and Product ID, the same process works for Gutsy (you may need to reboot to get the kernel to assign the card to ttyACM0... but once it does that it works fine.

If you're in Gutsy, as noted before, you can't do the devices stuff.... so just skip to step 10. Might be worth doing this once on a Feisty install to get your productID/vendorID.... or just try the values I have. works great.

With no tweaking, I've seen torrent download speeds up to 2.5 megabits per second (average, not burst).

Configure the Sprint EVDO Broadband Card

1. Remove the broadband card if it is already inserted
2. Navigate Applications > Accessories > Terminal
3. Type sudo cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > devices and press Enter
4. Insert the broadband card and wait 15 seconds
5. Type dmesg and press Enter
6. Make a note of the last few lines similar to:

cdc_acm 6-1:1.0: ttyACM#: USB ACM device

7. Type diff /proc/bus/usb/devices devices | grep Vendor and press Enter
8. Make a note of the output similar to:

Vendor=106c ProdID=3702 Rev= 1.00

9. Type sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x**** product=0x#### and press Enter
1. Replace **** with the Vendor from the diff output in step C.9
2. Replace #### with the ProdID from the output in step C.9
10. Type sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and press Enter
11. Replace the entire file with the following text, replacing ttyACM# with the output from step C.7:

[Dialer Defaults]
Stupid Mode = on
Modem = /dev/ttyACM#
Baud = 921600
Init = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Phone = #777
Username = 5856156939
Password = 0000
Init1 = ATZ
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Auto Reconnect = on
Carrier Check = no
[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0
[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP

12. Save the file and exit
13. Type sudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial and press Enter
14. Append the following to the end of the file

lcp-echo-failure 0
lcp-echo-interval 0

15. Save the file and exit
16. Type sudo ifdown eth0 and press Enter
17. Type wvdial and press Enter
1. Verify that the modem connects and presents you with an IP address
2. If you are presented with an error that it cannot find the device, you may need to restart the computer
18. Press CTRL-SHIFT-T to open a new terminal tab
19. Type ping 129.21.3.17 and press Enter
1. Verify that you receive responses to the pings
20. Press CTRL-C to close the broadband connection
21. Type rm -rf /devices and press Enter to remove the temporary file
22. Type exit and press Enter
23. To start the dialer in the background:
1. Press ALT-F2
2. Type wvdial and click Run

Finally my Friend Mach!!!

I've got my GPRS connection running!
While searching for APN (as you wisely suggested) I found that the int line: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.megatel.hn" had to be added in the modem commands tab. I added that but still couldn't get online until I decided to try a different number ( I don't know why, maybe a flash!) so i tried *99***1# instead of *99***3# of the windows configuration... I did that and voila! Ubuntu is online!
I'm using GUI KPPP.

For mimsmall I found this page with info on Sierra cards...

http://mycusthelp.com/sierrawireless/supportkbitem.asp?sSessionID=&Inc=2870&sFilA=FAQ%20Category&sFilB=Products&sFilC=&KEY=775

Hope this helps and THANKS SO MUCH FOR THAT GREAT HELP!

Glad to hear it's finally working , thanks for the update and feel free to to submit your help .

could I expect this setup to work on T-Mobile using Sierra Aircard 750 or any other aircard for that matter. I just want to surf the net when I am out and about.

This setup has been successfully tested on T-mobile network but not this exact card but i do not see any reason why it would be a problem .

Hello. Answering your question, I did an upgrade to Gutsy, not a fresh install.

I also find it curious that you mention that previous installs don't work. As I said, I followed the original HOWTO posted on this thread, and it actually does work. As I said, I can connect fine from the terminal. It's only when I connect via GNOME PPP that I haven't been able to.

You are absolutely right , i should have been more clear , the setup does in fact work using wvdial when upgreded from Feisty to Gutsy.
All the machines that i have been able (sort of ;-)) successfully upgrade to Gutsy are using previous settings,scripts and drivers .
Unfortunately with fresh installs i had to pull down some system files from old backups and kind a rig it just to get it to connect at all which my get ruined again with nearest update or kernel upgrade .
I haven't stumbled upon any clean methods of setting it up so it would be greatly appreciated if anybody finding anything useful on Gutsy have it posted here.

:confused: the main problem to why the EVDO card does not work is because the file /proc/bus/usb/devices does not exist anymore (as Mach1 said), so the modem does not show up in any list. My Verizon PC5750 card was working great in 7.04 but it shows up as usb5 and usb6 in /dev . In KPPP, the selection of modem does not fill this selection so -dead in the water- and doing the list from point 10 on won't help. How can we point to a modem when it does not show up? It was ttyACM0 in 7.04.

The problem is that Gutsy automatically plugs it a Airprime driver which does not assigns any particular device identifier to which the dialer (wvdial,KPPP or Gnome PPP) can be pointed to .
I do figured out how to change USB handling and reenable /proc/bus/usb/devices again so now we just need to address a driver problem.
If you guys find any reliable way to pach the kernel back to use usbseria driver we can get the ball rolling on updating the setup for Gutsy .

Mach1US

October 26th, 2007, 02:56 PM

OK here is update on the issue
All upgrades directry from Feisty seem to work fine unless the Evdo card / modem is upgraded then it automatically plugs default Gutsy driver.
In case this happens or you just installed fresh 7.10 you can execute following fix.

Gutsy changed USB handling so to re enable /proc/bus/usb/devices directory type in terminal :

gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh

Now remove " # " symbols from the front of following lines of code :

#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
#ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
#mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

Now to so stop new Airprime driver from loading execute following in the terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Insert at the bottom :

#Block Airprime driver to force kernel to use usbserial
blacklist airprime

From here you should be able to continue with this how to as above fix will enable single device identifier which can be uset for setup with wvdial , KPPP dialer or Gnome PPP .

If you find relevant threads or site please let me know.:!:

Hey Mach,
I've been keeping an eye on this thread as I'm working on my phone. I run Xubuntu and I'm attempting to tether my htc-mogul (ppc-6800) with sprint as my provider. The best I've managed so far is to use wvdial to create a ppp0 device using /dev/ttyACM0 and it seems to be getting an IP and dns settings. I only seem to be able to do this when I run a program on the phone called "USB Modem" which seems to activate the phone as a serial device (guessing here). Does anyone on this thread have any experience with this phone or tethering with the mogul specifically? I can post my wvdial.conf file if you need. Btw thanks for taking as much time as you do on these forums to help! It IS appreciated, even if not vocalized so often

You are probably use to Windows which actually uses all of those entries with the difference that the software supplies of it automatically .
VZmanager last time i checked was windows and mac only and i too would like to see the linux version as well.
Do not worry about some of those ubiquitous messages .
Your EVDO card ( or phone ) has assigned Phone number so your USERNAME is that number followed by @vzw3g.com .
Your password is vzw .
For Verizon the number you have to dial is always 777

If you are using gutsy you need to follow the how to from very beginning where it gives you the fix for it.

when you issue dmesg you should see lines like :

[17186692.460000] usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
[17186692.460000] cdc_acm 3-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

[17186714.588000] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address
The ttyACM0 would be your identifier , device identifier always starts with" tty " and follows with ACM or USB with numeric value after that.
Try it from beginning and let me know what happened .

Since USBSERIAL is part of default driver package included in Ubuntu i never needed and i haven't worked with a Franklin's ( http://www.fklt.com/support.php ) driver so i'm not sure how it handles the device .

It appears when I run the Linux driver.
At the laptop the CDU always appears as scsi0 and sda.
sda is an identifier for your Hard Drive , it is not your Wireless Device .
.
.

[ 2161.009087] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 2
[ 2161.329429] scsi 2:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device
[ 2219.599287] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
[ 2219.765331] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Seeing this indicates USB device probem which can be either software or hardware.
To make sure it isn't conflicting with the evdo device disconnect all non essential peripherals ( ideally everything except KVM )
and then tested again to isolate the problem.
Additionally try it with LIVE CD as this will eliminate any misconfigurations of the installation itself .
If it is a installation problem and you are not comfortable with recompiling the kernel or at least patching it probably the easiest and quickest will be a fresh install .
Hope this helps.

I have a Dell Wireless 5700 built-in mini card for Verizon in my Dell Laptop. I can setup the connection just fine, but any time I restart my system, the usbserial module does not start again. I can run the "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x413c product=0x8114" command to get it to work again, but it is there any way to get the usbserial mod to start automaticly?

I ahve tried adding "usbserial vendor=0x413c product=0x8114" to the /etc/modules, which will succesfully start usbserial at startup, but it does not open the serial ports on the card, so ttyUSB0 is not available.

Any help would be great.

I had a similar experience to vmosorio. I connect to AT&T with a Razr V3 using wvdial. When I upgraded to Gutsy from Feisty it stopped working with error 16 (timeout).

As vmosorio found, it works after I changed the line of wvdial to be *99***1# instead of *99***3#. (With Feisty both worked.)

Also I discovered that with when I first used the new number (*99***1#) I was able to connect, but still nothing happened when I tried Firefox. I had to reboot, and then everything worked swimmingly. This is a new behaviour with Gutsy, with Feisty I never had to reboot.

Hope this helps!! (and thanks vmosorio!)

I have the same phone with Verizon service. I looked up the USB information like the product ID and port using the Hardware Information under System Preferences after plugging in my phone (It shows up as Motorola V3c, check the advanced tab). I followed the directions on www.hacktherazr.com to disable EVDO and setup dial up networking. I was getting the same error about authenticating. I fixed it by just removing the "@vzw3g.com". Just use your phone number for the Username. I do not have a broadband access plan, my connection just uses minutes (see the website above) so watch out if you are during peak time. I suppose this is slower than EVDO but 1x is still fast enough for web surfing.

You must blacklist the AIRPRIME driver.
The very bigining of this how-to will tell you exactly how to do it.

lazyart

December 10th, 2007, 02:54 PM

What kind of throughput are you getting with this? I was under the impression that the airprime driver is more efficient than usbserial-- it's what I use with my Sprint mobile broadband card...

Mach1US

December 10th, 2007, 05:38 PM

I'm glad somebody asked for that , in fact the Airprime is a more recent development then usbserial.
I have tried both drivers and basically they have performed same using Verizon Evdo Card .
Where i was testing i was getting between 1.2 and 1.4Mb/s using either driver.
Basically both of them offer more throughput than wireless broadband can dish out with some marginal advantage in favor of Airprime which is capable of handling bigger fames (higher MTU) , reducing the need to fragment certain data transmissions thus saving on the frame overhead.
Thats in theory but in reality it plays bigger role in LANs which tipically have port speeds of 100 and 1000 Mb so additional framing overhead amounts to some real bandwidth .
Actually inherently all wireless connections have the biggest bandwidth loses due retransmissions so in many cases it is more desirable to use smaller frames which requires to retransmit only small parts that have been lost as oppose to having to retransmit the entire segment.
Aside from theorizing i'm very interested on how did you set up your Evdo card.
In Feisty i use to get automatic usbserial association which presented me with device identifier and in turn allowed me to configure Wvdial to use the device.
To use Airprime in Feisty i had to actually patch the kernel.
With the arrival of Gutsy my card was automatically associated with Airprime but it didn't give me a device identifier, without which i couldn't set up wvdial so after few days of trying all sorts of reverse engineering i found the way to get good old usbserial with it's identifiers.
Anyway i would be very appreciative if you could point me to some material on seating up Gutsy directly with Airprime.
Do you know it it works with cards other then Sprint EVDO ?

lazyart

December 12th, 2007, 03:35 AM

I started using my aircard (Novatel U727) about week before Gutsy was released and it did involve patching the airprime.c file to include the device and vendor IDs.

Once done I used KPPP to create the connection. The method is outlined here (http://samat.org/weblog/20070128-sprints-evdo-mobile-broadband-on-ubuntu-linux.html) for patching, then use the KPPP setup outlined in Sprint's own documentation, found here (PDF) (http://www4.sprint.com/pcsbusiness/downloads/Sprint_Mobile_Broadband_Setup_Guide.pdf). If usbserial is giving the same performance as airprime, then Sprint's directions are all you need.

Mate your device with a snazzy udev rule and it will connect automagically when the device is plugged in.

Mach1US

December 13th, 2007, 03:27 AM

You make me want to hear about it more .:shock:,what do you mean undev rule ?
That is actually my problem too , Gutsy has changed the usb handling so now simply running dmesg to get a device designation doesn't work :(
Hopefully somebody will realize that Linux systems need network connection just like the rest of the bunch.
Sadly it probably won't come from manufactures or even service providers, the only hope we have is that guys from outfits like Automatix or Easy Ubuntu gonna write something to help us cope with industry negligence

I may have missed something in this thread, i will apologize now if I did. I did see how one person was able to share, he just didnt go into any details.

Thanks!

You don't have to disable Ethernet card.
In fact you can use either your Ethernet card or your wi-fi to share the access to the internet for other wireless laptops.
There are are numerous how-to's on the subject, i do it through VMappliance called "Internet Connection Sharing Appliance" :
http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/395

Instructions are for MS 2000 but you get the idea.
http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/win/connex_share_w2k.html

It takes little tweaking but once you get it done it is bulletproof and this way you can use your wi-fi and ethernet card normally and simply with a click of a mouse on the vmware icon they can become internet gateways for the other computers

Excellent walk through, thank you much to everyone. My only input is that if you are using Kubuntu (with the KNetworkManager program), completely exit KNetworkManager or the EVDO card will never get the correct DNS settings. Or atleast this was my experience. Thanks again.

Hi,

I am "Brand New" to Ubuntu and since I have installed it yesterday I absolutely love it!! What a great OS indeed.

I am not new to Unix and have quite a experience in Unix (except Linux) so I am trying out new things.

Here is my problem with using Motorola V770, LG Voyager and LG 8600 phone as modem with Ubuntu71.

I set it devices as in instruction on first chat and worked like a charm! I immediately connected via Motorola V770 by wvdial. Speed is not bad at all! And I tested out different web pages.

But LG phones are different story, both Voyager and 8600 did not work as phone modem.

Here errors I am getting:

WvDial<Notice>: I guess that's it for now, exiting

Interesting thing I noted that Motorola V700 seems to dial #777 as unknown number with data connection while LG phones shows its dials to 3g 1x Data. I assume since LG are newer models, they are trying to access High Speed National Access which requires username/passwords provided by Verizon when you sign up Broadband Access service $59/month in US.

Anyone has tried to use LG phones, specially new ones like Voyager (LG10000 or LG8600) and has experienced the same error? I will appreciate any help!

Thanks and great job on Ubuntu!!! :)

Update:

I did try to disable EVDO from following steps on LG phones but still are getting same (exit code = 19) error.

Here are steps to disable EVDO...

1) Press the Menu key (ok)
2) Push the zero key (0) seven times
3) Push the three key (3) for network select
4) Push the one key (1) for Mode Preference
5) Choose 1X Only or Digital Only Non Hybrid.

To re enable EV follow steps 1 - 4 and for step #5 choose Digital Only Hybrid

Btw my Motorola V710 (sorry for typo earlier) still works with my current wvdial.conf

Thanks

Sweet! How do I change my privilege level? I am sorry to ask such a basic question.

Seriously, I have been screwing around with this forever. I have looked all over the "mountdevsubfs.sh" document for a way to change my privileges to no avail.

either use

or

gksudo gedit wvdial.conf

The second one lets you use gedit.

Who_Cares,

Thanks, I was able to procede. I am no stuck on this part:

At the end of this output you will find your device witch will be represented like this: ttyACM0 or ttyUSB or similar , make note of it you will need it later.

I must have done something else wrong because nowhere in my output do I see anything that begins with tty.

Does this process fully work for a Blackberry 8703e? I just got it set up but when it gets to the 'Waiting for Carrier' i get a no dial tone then disconnects. Does that mean i set something up wrong or is there something i need to tweak? i have verizon by the way if that helps.

Let me know if i need to post anything to help with my problem

I have a question: I dont understand how to type this line of code, the part that throws me is the "grep Vendor and the symbol before it, I dont know how to type it or what the symbol is telling me to type this is the line "diff /proc/bus/usb/ devices devices "*" grep Vendor

Please assume I'm too stupid to even use a rotary telephone.
Thanks, Paul:)

This symbol is located above RETURN key the symbok on the keybord looks similar to : but it is actually displayed as | , is most comonnly shared with \ (forward slash) so you will need to hold shift while you press it.

I have successfully set up couple Blackberrys ,all from Verizon.
If you get no dial tone most likely your port settings (tty...) are mis configured .Check dmesg and correct wvdial.conf

rabbito

January 22nd, 2008, 05:57 AM

Problem is when i used dmesg i did not get any post for anything tty...
mine is currently set for ttysl0 (would be curious to know what your blackberries defaulted to) which i got from running wvdialconf in the terminal. Is there a setting on the blackberry that needs to be enabled for internet to post? Sort of difficult as i dont have the laptop in front of me since i have been setting it up for my mom who has a blackberry. If there is another tty that works i will give it a try.

Mach1US

January 22nd, 2008, 06:09 AM

I don't remember which tty blackberry hardware uses ,but if i remember correctly you need to evdo enabled on the device beside the normal data service that the smart phones are usin, there is additional charge like 15 or something close to that for subscription to it, you need to call verizon and have them enable it.
It was some time ago so check if they changed it since.

rabbito

January 22nd, 2008, 06:30 AM

yeah the EVDO is enabled and i called and here is the wvdial.conf file:

[Dialer Defaults]
Stupid Mode = on
Modem = /dev/ttySL0
Baud = 460800
Init = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Phone = #777
Username = <number>@vzw3g.com
Password = vzw
Init1 = ATZ
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Auto Reconnect = on
Carrier Check = no
[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0
[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP

anything look wrong?

Mach1US

January 22nd, 2008, 06:39 AM

It depends,check if your dmesg output definitely points to ttySL0 as your blackberry port.

rabbito

January 22nd, 2008, 06:44 AM

okay, i will report back tomorrow afternoon with what dmesg gives. how do you copy lines from the terminal to the text editor? not essential but would be the easiest.

i dont see anything that has tty attached to it so i am not sure what is going on. any tips would be helpfull. i followed the steps posted on how to set up EVDO as a modem in the tips section of the forums. Do i have to have xmblackberry installed for this to work? i have seen other tutorials and that install xmblackberry but i am not sure if this is required or not.

rabbito

January 23rd, 2008, 04:17 PM

tried using the phone number as the password instead of vzw but that did not work either. Guess i can try installing xmBlackberry if there is no other way. Suggestions anyone?

Thanks - worked great on a Dell Latitude 620 runing Gutsy using a Versions PC5750!
Now as I'm a Linux newbie how do I safely disconnect the Connecton and unmount or power down the PC5750 PCMCIA card?

Thanks again - now for my next trick - make my VPN connection to a SonicWall 2040 firewall that requires their Global VPN client to connect! only runs on Windows as far as I know.. Maybe WINE don't know... the tunnel adaper will probably need kernal mode access.

Once I do this I can be Windows Free on my Laptop at least - shh don't tell big M - I'm a professional Windows Systems Admin 12+ years but Vista was the last straw (Vista -YUCK! what complete trash!) Ubuntu ROCKS!

Dude, I am to the point now where I will pay anyone that can help me get my freaking EVDO card to work. I have tried to follow the steps here (I am very grateful for this thread, by the way) but I am too dense to make it work. If anyone thinks they can help me get my Kyocera KPC650 EVDO card working I will gladly pay for your time. That is pretty much my last obstacle to being 100% linux.

I am with you. Once i get my BB 8703e working there really is not anything holding me back from complete Linux. Have you tried the simpler 'wvdialconf' ---> wvdial ? it actually set up most of the proper settings for me but i still can not connect. Never know though it might for you and i think there is another post that explains a little more about it.

Guys,
Rabbito and boriquajake

I have changed the bigging of the how to just for you two, follow the steps 1 through 5 in the bigging of this how to .
boriquajake needs to enable /proc/bus/usb/devices devices , just follow steps 1-5 .
Rabbito yo need to block Airprime from messig with your identifiers, you can also fix it by correctly following steps 1-5.
Sorry for slow reply time but we are swamped at work , however you do not need to pay anybody to do it , by doing it yourself first of all you learn new linux stuff second you can scrap it and recreated from scratch without the fear that every time you crash it it will cost you to get it back .
You guys almost there.

And for others wit kyocera cards check the following post

I went back and checked steps 1-5 and made sure I had done them. All seems to go just fine until it is time for step where I am to
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > devices

When I do that the output is:

cat: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory

What do you suggest?

Mach1US

January 25th, 2008, 01:06 AM

it means you did not successfully enabled this directory .
It is important to do all 5 steps without getting any errors.
Now before you start type in the terminal :
sudo -i
and then put your password and do all 5 steps again, this will allow you to do all those steps as a root.

Hi all,

I have a T61 with a fresh install of Gutsy 64. I have a Novatel U727 from Sprint and I cannot get it to connect. This is what I tried so far?

Boot, plug it in, check dmesg |grep acm and I get nothing
dmesg |grep ttyUSB and I get nothing.

Boot + modprobe airprime, lsmod shows airprime on usbcore line, dmesg |grep acm =nothing dmesg |grep ttyUSB = nothing

Boot, Follow steps 1-5, dmesg |grep acm = nothing, dmesg |grep ttyUSB = nothing, dmesg |grep ACM = nothing.

No point in continuing since I don't have a device name to give the dialer.

Anyone know what's going on?

If I check /var/log/messages I do get a line
python[5877]: segfault at ...buncha 0's ... rip ... rsp ... error 4
every time I insert the device.

Thanks,
Eric

January 25th, 2008, 07:12 PM

You need to BLACKLIST Airprime to force kernel in to using usbserial.
Airprime in gutsy wont give you those identifiers.
I'll check outputs of my own lsmod but i think with Airprome properly blacklisted it should come back with usbserial .
Make sure you are not doing anything else that would enable it back again.

Additionally make sure that your hardware does not need additional drivers outside those included in latest kernel or require some other dependencies .

nowhere@cox.net

January 25th, 2008, 10:06 PM

Thanks for the quick reply. I did follow steps 1-5 so airprime should be blacklisted. lsmod|grep air returns nothing.

I have no idea how to determine if the U727 needs additional drivers. I should note that it has a small flash drive imbedded as well as a microSDslot (with no card installed). I do get the pop up automount readonly stuff for the mini drive with Sprint/Novatel stuff on it and I do see entrys in dmesg for the microSD reader.

At this point there are no ttyUSB entries in dmesg. HOWEVER, if I eject the mini readonly flash drive, then check dmesg, there are now 4 ttyUSB's listed (0-4). But still no ttyACM's and kppp cannot query the modem on any of the ttyUSB's.

This help diagnose any?

Thanks!
Eric

nowhere@cox.net

January 25th, 2008, 10:36 PM

Ok I got a connection! The U727 seems exceptionally sensitive to the order in which you do things. I have already followed this HOWTO's steps 1-5 to blacklist airprime. Next I need to connect the USB modem, then eject the CD (readonly flashdrive) that is automounted. Then:

sudo modprobe -r usbserial
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1410 product=0x4100

Then I am able to query the modem on /dev/ttyUSB0. I had to be careful since there were also /dev/tty/ttyUSB0 devices listed in kppp.

I am in the process of running dslreports speed test but I had to dl java plugins and such and the 22MB required is taking 10 minutes to dl so I suspect the speed is not too good :-D

Next stop will be a speed tweaking HOWTO.

I hope this helps anyone else with this particular device get connected!

Wow, I think I am finally making progress here. The only thing that sucks is that I have no idea what I am doing, I am just blindly following instructions. :-)

Anyway my output for this instruction:

dmesg

was this:

jake@jake-V2000:~$

The thing that confuses me is that nowhere is there anything looks like ttyAMCO or ttyUSB. Where did I mess up?

Anyway, I kept on going even though I did not see the output I was looking for.

I coded:
diff /proc/bus/usb/devices devices | grep Vendor

and this is what came up:

jake@jake-V2000:~$ diff /proc/bus/usb/devices devices | grep Vendor
< P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06
< P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06
< P: Vendor=0c88 ProdID=17da Rev= 0.00

Then as I attempted to follow this:

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1234 product=0x5678

I got this:

jake@jake-V2000:~$ modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0c88 product=0x17da
FATAL: Error inserting usbserial (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko): Operation not permitted

So there it is, I have laid out my ignorance in all of its glory.

I have done a clean install of 7.10 in case all of my various attempts and methods to get it working has caused problems. I will also follow the post that you referred to. thanks again

MACH1US, i'm trying to use my MotoQ as a modem. I followed your instructions except I get the following when performing a dmesg w/ the phone plugged in over usb.

bad CDC descriptors

It does not return any info about the modem assignment (e.g. ttyACM0 or ttyUSB)

Thoughts?

Mach1US,

I started over from the beginning, meaning I even reversed the edits to the text files so all was as before I began. ThenI went back and redid everything making sure that I did not plug in the EVDO card until just before dmseg, and the output for dmseg still did not show anything like ttyACM0 or ttyUSB. I even copied the entire output and pasted into a text file so I could search for anything resembling either option.

Even though I couldn't find what I thought should be there I continued on with the rest of the instructions. (This is a well done guide, I was able to understand each step, I think)

All seemed to be fine until I got to the last step:

wvdial

I get:

jake@jake-V2000:~$ wvdial
WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
WvDial<Err>: Cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: No such file or directory
WvDial<Err>: Cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: No such file or directory
WvDial<Err>: Cannot open /dev/ttyACM0: No such file or directory

I am absolutely sure that I rebooted when the instructions said to reboot and that I did not plug in the card until directed, but obviously I did something else equally wrong. Any ideas?

It actually performs as designed,unfortunately.
With your configuration you need to obtain accurate tty... identifier to properly set dialing rules.
By simply pointing to a ttyACM0 you instructing wvdial to use nonexistent device and that is why it is returning with that message.
You need to do some troubleshooting,make sure device and its connections are performing as designed by running the setup on different OS like Mac or Windows using cell-service providers software.
Once you have absolutely confirmed all the hardware is working properly check other posts , google and such to find an additional drivers or dependencies for your device that would enable or allow it to communicate and assign proper "ttyxxx" identifiers.
Alternatively you can find a local LUG (Linux User Group) and attend meting where you can get some opinions and advice from their own experts, this guys are always helpful and they really know their stuff .
And lastly, not all hardware is guaranteed to work with Linux, it largely depends on chipset used bythe device manufacturers, so if you really need it you may have settle to run Linux as a virtual machine shearing the connection with other host system that is compatible with your hardware or switch to one of the EVDO cards or phones known to be working with Linux.
This thread mentions lots of equipment from broad range service providers that have been tested and proven working, the one i'm currently using is Verizons PC5750 which takes about 10 min to set it up ,does not need anything else , it simply just works.
Hope this helps.

Just in case anyone is looking I have the Verizon Wireless UM150 USB EVDO card and I followed these instructions and got it working GREAT!! Thanks for the post as a newbie to Ubuntu/Linux command lines I never would have figured this out for myself!!

With your evdo card removed you can do it by typing following in the terminal :

Unfortunately, I have a Lenovo x61, and the Sierra 5725 card is embedded, so I can't remove it.

Any alternate suggestions? I've tried everything possible to get this card working in Gutsy, with no luck. In fact, I've probably tried so many things I've screwed something up. Unfortunately, I'm a novice, so I don't know what I might have broken, or how to find and fix it.

Any help would be much appreciated. I've solved every other wish list item I had in my transfer from Windows - got Quicken 2007, Worden Telechart, Pretty Good Solitaire, and even RoboForm running flawlessly, as well as sound and standard WiFi. But I really, really need EVDO.

Thanks for whatever you can offer.

I am trying my damnedest to post a reply to the original post, but this forum, like every other damned think linux, is neither simple, straightforward, obvious, or sensible. Everything I try shunts my post off to this weird little corner.

To hell with it.

I give up.

:-P:-P:-P Don't worry we all have been there , this is actually how this forum was suppose to work .
If you want to edit any of your posts simply log in ,click on EDIT, located on right bottom of each post (brown rectangle with white lettering ) and simply change any parts to your likings.
As far as your build in EVDO card take a Tylenol or two and try this tutorial:
http://www.savvyadmin.com/2007/06/03/ubuntu-dell-5700-evdo/
Or if you are using ATT this can be more accurate for you:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3236731&postcount=2
Let me know if you get stuck.

For the MOTO Q posts earlier this looks like solution to the driver problem you have had .

This same howto is what we have on sprint.com for our customers and it also works for most sprint phone as modem phones.

The one on sprint site has been mentioned few times in previous posts to this thread , unfortunately it has not been updated recently to work with Gutsy.
Nevertheless is well constructed paper especially for people that feel more comfortable with graphical way of doing things like KPPP.

And for Carton you are getting classic at that point

Cannot get information for serial port.
It basically means you have not gotten infamous tty identifier or one in your wvdial.conf is different than the one from dmesg .
Just in case take your card out , put it back in and post the dmesg output.

I saw that but couldn't figure out how to get the kpp program up

Mach1US

February 5th, 2008, 04:33 AM

see above post and like i'v posted before it has not been updated for Gutsy so you need to do your home work here, get proper identifier and than i can send to KPPP configuration posts.

I am having exactly the same problem with EV-DO and Gutsy. After modprobe, the USB modem is recognized and binds to /dev/ttyUSB2, but it doesn't respond at the ATZ command, either in the wvdial script or directly through minicom.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

sierra bravo

What do you exactly mean by " but it doesn't respond at the ATZ command " .
Also minicom is serial port text interpretation software , what exactly have you been trying to do with minicom and evdo modem (just asking) ?
You actully in luck if you have gotten as far as recognizing proper tty , all it is now to to just paste the wvdial.con file with modification of your own personal cell info.

TO : Carton
It seems like are in fact using USBSERIAL but you are given 3 different tty identifiers :

i dont know, it keeps attaching the generic driver all the time. when i insert the aircard no drivers are attached. so i have to enter
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1410 product=0x4100....
any suggestions?

I have read the past few posts and I cannot say where I work in advanced tech but I can tell you I use these cards daily and I know they work with gutsy now I dont suggest wvdial though we would use kppp or gnome ppp i do know that the previously mentioned document on the that certain company's website will be updated very soon. once you set up kppp use the modem query function on the different tty's it mentions until you find the one that repsonds. now as far as the u727 goes it is a real pita to make it work because of the having to unmount the cdrom drive it recognizes as but once that is doen it can be setup just the same as any of the other cards mentioned int his post.

Btw I apologize for the vagueness I have to be a little careful because I can get in alot of trouble at work and potentially lose my job if you guys need any specifics or help with anything please pm me so I can help a little more in depth. I deal with these cards and alot of cdma phones as modems daily with my gutsy laptop i have done the ins and outs of maing them work and im more than willing to do what I can to help.

My Verizon USB EVDO worked with the very first try. I used the same configu and chat script as with Fedora 7.

This is the first time I use Ubuntu; I install some version of Ubuntu 1 or 2 years ago, but I didn't use it, and I removed it in a day or two.

Now, my Ubuntu is Gutsy. My modem is USB720

I posted my chat script and config at
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Using_USB_EVDO_Internet_modem

I wonder if we can add this EVDO port to wvdial. If I contribute to it, this will be the first time I contribute to Linux. I first used Linux 7 years ago.

I actually went one step further with EVDO.

I make a script check the connection every 2 minutes, if the connection fails, it dials again. Also, every 2 minutes, it ftp my IP address to my geocities.com account.

My PC with the EVDO connection became a server. I can ssh home to do works.

I am set. This worked EXACTLY as stated. I am using a Sprint Motorola Q and it works perfectly. This was the last reason that I kept Windows around for.

By the way if anyone is looking for the password for Sprint it is anything. The card/phone does the authentication so no password is required. I put in "sprintpcs" and it worked the first time.

If thats the case it is something other then need for Airprime .
Actually if you want Airprime to load instead of USBSERIAL just skip the step that tells you to black list Airprime or if you have already done it just uncomment it and the kernel will automatically load airprime.
The post you have mention applies only to earlier versions , Gutsy loads airprime automatically .

Simply blacklisting the airprime driver is all my system needed. It then started using the usbserial driver for the card under ACM0 and I setup KPPP to dial #777 with user/user as the username/password. Up and running in seconds.

Thanks for reminding me about the blacklist fix. I had this working originally under 7.10 but then my drive crashed and I had to start from scratch.

For AT&T/Cingular folks using the USBConnect 881 or another TruInstall type of USB modem, this will not allow us to connect. The problem is that Ubuntu recognizes the TruInstall usb modems as cd roms because they contain the modem software for Windows.

The SierraWireless Website has a workaround that involves recompiling the kernel to something 2.6.23 or higher and then applying the TruInstall patch: http://www.sierrawireless.com/faq/ShowFAQ.aspx?ID=1077

I haven't done it yet - slated to do it this weekend. Hope this helps some folks.

I'm trying to do this on a Sprint Treo 755p connected via the USB cable.

when I do this part

dmesg

You will get output with some device info like this :
Code:

[17186714.588000] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address

I get 2 results ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1.

I tried both results, with sort of the same results

the only difference is with ttyUSB0 the phone starts to reboot but freezes. Anybody get one of the new treos to work? Or anyone have any insight on this problem? Thanks!

Here's what worked for me on my Sprint 755p.

I used this program (http://www.mobile-stream.com/usbmodem.html) on my Treo to set it into USB Modem mode which unfortunately costs $24.

Then I put the line

Modem = /dev/ttyACM

in the wvdial.conf file

I found the settings from this website. (http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/06/07/dialup-networking-via-treo-700p-and-ubuntu-usb-connection/)

Anyone know of a way of doing this without having to pay for the USB Modem program?

I've found that if airprime is not blacklisted, wvdial won't find the ttyUSB0. That's fine, it was mentioned.

My problem is that using my ZTE aircard on Ubuntu I'm getting 400 down and 120 up. In XP I get 1000down and 120 up.

Why am I getting such slow speeds? Anyone know?

Mach1US

March 20th, 2008, 04:33 AM

I'm assume you have been using browser based speed tests.
Did you try a swiftfox , i haven't had a chance to study which setting makes the difference but it has helped more than once.
Most generic versions of browsers are set up to work on all hardware that means it is slow enough to be still compatible with all sorts of ancient pc's , but some tweaked versions like swiftfox help to strip all those limitations .

MikeyXX

March 20th, 2008, 08:40 PM

Yes, it was browser based. However, I find it difficult to believe that it would strip half the speed off in firefox than IE in windows. But I will give it a go!

Is this something that is available via apt-get?

Hey, I have an alltel UM150 wireless modem that I am trying to get to work with my newly installed Ubuntu Studio 7.10 OS. I noticed that someone else on this forum got their alltel UM150 to work. I followed all the directions for Gutsy and am not able to get it working. I type wvaudio into the terminal, and this is all I get:

Notice I tried it with and without the root user. Both return back slightly different results, but no connection could be made. I am brand new to this, so is there something I could be missing? Is there a driver I need, or something. Thanks for any help you may have. Ubuntu Studio is not running right on my brand new hp hardware, so the internet is definitely needed to get the correct drivers. By the way, I know that the UM150 is functional, because I am using it right now in Windows Vista (i'm dual-booting).

If you need any additional information, please specify what it is and how to get it in laymans terms, I am new to Ubuntu.

Have you tried unplugging it waiting 10 seconds?

I notice you said you used wvaudio try wvdial

March 31st, 2008, 03:16 PM

Yeah, I used wvdial. That was just a typo. Got audio on the brain, I guess. I'll give it another try. Didn't try unplugging and trying again. I noticed the modem does have trouble connecting sometimes even in Vista.

condorface

March 31st, 2008, 03:48 PM

Tried it over and over again with the same results. I also tried it in xubuntu 7.10 with the same results. Is there something I'm missing? Do you get the same error messages that I posted earlier, DeVonne? How frequently does yours not connect? I called alltel and made sure I had the correct password and everything, and the alltel guy said that as long as I have the correct drivers, it should be fine. Do I need certain drivers that don't come with the Gutsy installation, or does the alltel guy not know what he is talking about? At a loss as to what to do next.

DeVonne

April 1st, 2008, 02:28 AM

Condorface, I don't think I have gotten error 2, not sure,
If anyone knows what error 2 is please tell us!

Mine will disconnect sometimes but I just wvdial it back
I do get the problem where it goes out and then wvdial says its busy unplugging then seems to fix that also

OK here is what I want you to do,

REINSTALL wvdial, sometimes when I reinstall things it fixes it,
In case it gets rid of your configs backup all the files the guide has you edit so you can restore them, also post it here so I can see if it matches mine

Also goto vista tell me if its on RTT or EVDO, and tell me your signal strength or DBM

And yes please try unplugging it and plugging it in when it don't work,

Make SURE everything on the guide was done, read it again to make sure you did not miss something

I am determined to help you to the best I can! :KS

April 1st, 2008, 03:40 AM

Thanks for replying, Devonne. I am very new to computers, so there is some terminology that hangs me up. I understood all the stuff about reinstalling wvdial and getting the configs on here, but I don't know how to check on Vista to see if the modem is an RTT or EVDO, and I am not too sure what you mean by signal strength or DBM. I know that in the "Capability" section of the "about" menu, it says that the UM150's capability is 1XEVDO, so I assume that it is EVDO and not RTT. I don't even know what RTT is.
I am the middle of a big download tonight, so I can't get back into Ubuntu until tomorrow. I will posts the results then.
Again, thanks for your help.

DeVonne

April 1st, 2008, 04:02 AM

You're welcome, I know how it can get when you don't get the help you need or someone refuses to,

And make note, before you post your config don't include your telephone number and pass for security reasons

RTT would be the slower cell phone tower, lets say you are out of the reach to the EVDO tower it will goto the RTT one,
I am between the 2 so it tends to go back and forth

If you really want more information on what EVDO and RTT is try google or asking an alltel techie

Ok I will wait until then for your configs :) good luck

EDIT:

Oh I forgot to mention, you can find the signal and that stuff in quicklink mobile on windows,

Hello,

I have been trying to get my Sierra 597E Sprint EVDO card working on my laptop. I have tried many different sets of instructions including those from this thread and have had no success. I am starting to think I may have an idea what is going on, I believe that the TRU-install feature of my card is the culprit. When I follow these instrutions I never seem to be able to find my card after inserting it and running the dmesg command. Also when I run the diff /proc/... command I get a vendor id that matches Sierra 0x1199 but the product id is not 0x0021 as it should be. I have included some of the terminal output. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated,

April 3rd, 2008, 04:40 PM

Ok, I was finally able to try it all again. I reinstalled wvdial from the alternate cd, and checked all og my config files to see that they were correct. As far as I can tell, they were. Here is my mountdevsubfs.sh file:

echo "Usage: mountdevsubfs [start|stop]" >&2
exit 3
;;
esac

I took all the pound signs off where it was called for in the tutorial. I put the whole file on here just in case there is something else wrong with it that a trained eye can see.

Here is my wvdial config file(with stars where my username should be):

[Dialer Defaults]
Stupid Mode = on
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 921600
Init = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

Username = **********@alltel.net

Initl = ATZ
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Auto Reconnect = on
Carrier Check =no
[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0
[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP

The only other thing that I can think of is that when I put in
"diff /proc/bus/usb/devices devices | grep Vendor," it returns this:

< P: Vendor=106c ProdID=3711 Rev= 1.00

Should the number for Vendor have a "c" at the end, and, if so, should I type it in or disregard it when I follow the next step?
As it is, I did use the "c". I typed:
root@ubustud:~# modprobe usbserial vendor=0X106c product=0X3711
Anyways, everything turned out the same. It didn't work, and I got the same error messages.

Mach1US

May 8th, 2008, 08:45 PM

For Alltell i have also seen this How to in the forums:

Step 1 - Get the phone recognized.
This is, by far, the hardest part, and what caused most of my problems. The V3a is unique enough that the kernel build in Kubuntu 7.04 didn't recognize it, and give it a port immediately. I felt my way along many a blind alley trying to get cdc-acm to work, and finally found a solution in usbserial (info for that gleaned from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343989).

When you plug the cellphone into the computer, cdc-acm is supposed to automatically assign it a /dev point to bind to. With the V3a being so new, the kernel can't figure it out, and you end up with the following in dmesg:

Code:

~$ dmesg | tail
[23574.428000] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
[23574.644000] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Notice, no info on a port assignment or the like, it notes that there's only one choice available to the kernel, and that's basically that it's there, and nothing more. A useless brick, if you will, connected via USB.

cdc-acm is supposed to kick in here and assign it a point. As I said, that doesn't happen with the V3a. So, we have to determine the info from the phone that we can, and use usbserial instead.

We'll need to compare device listing outputs to do this, so for now, disconnect your phone.
Code:

~$ cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > devices

This will create a file ~/devices, basially a listing of all devices currently connected to your machine. A snapshot, if you will, of the current stuff attached to your computer.

Now, connect your phone. Give it a few moments, the phone should beep a few times. We can now compare what's currently connected to what was connected, and find the info from the phone itself.
Code:

~$ diff /proc/bus/usb/devices devices | grep Vendor

What that command does is looks at the current device list (/proc/bus/usb/devices) and compares it (using the diff command) to what you had when you didn't have the phone connected. Finally, we filter it through grep (a search engine of sorts) for just what we want, the vendor info. You should get a single line detailing the vendor and product ID.
Code:

~$ diff /proc/bus/usb/devices devices | grep Vendor
< P: Vendor=22b8 ProdID=2ac4 Rev= 0.01

Now, we have the vendor and product info for the phone.

Next, we need to load the usbserial module in, with that specific information associated with it.

Code:

~$ sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x22b8 product=0x2ac4

That loads usbserial in, and gives it a vendor and product to work with. If you do this while the phone is still connected, it should beep at you.

Finally, disconnect the phone, and reconnect it. After a few seconds (and a few beeps from the phone), check the message log again.

Code:

~$ dmesg | tail
[24439.348000] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
[24439.564000] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[24439.564000] usbserial_generic 2-1:1.0: generic converter detected
[24439.564000] usb 2-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[24439.568000] usbserial_generic 2-1:1.1: generic converter detected
[24439.568000] usb 2-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB1

As you can see, we've now got it assigned to a port we can work with, in this case, /dev/ttyUSB0.

Step 2 - setting up a ppp dialer
Everyone will have their favorite method of doing this, what with the multitude of ppp dialers out there. Everything from fancy GUIs to collections of shell scripts. Personally, I use KDE, and like the KPPP dialer. It manages everything rather well for me.

The basics:
Username - your 10-digit phone number@alltel.net
Password - alltel
Number - #777
Device - /dev/ttyUSB0

That should be what you'd need for most any dialer out there. The rest that follows is specific to KPPP.

Launch KPPP, click Configure.

On the Accounts tab, click New. In the warning, click Manual Configuration. For configuration name, put in anything you want (I put AllTel). Click Add, and enter #777 for the phone number. Click OK twice, and you'll be back on the KPPP Configurations dialog.

On the Modems tab, click New. For modem name, enter anything (I put V3a), for device, choose /dev/ttyUSB0. Click OK.

OK out of the KPPP Configuration dialog.

Enter your username (remember, your 10-digit phone number@alltel.net), and the password (alltel).

You should be all set now, you can choose to "show log window" if you want, to see the progress, but otherwise, click connect and go!

There's 2 problems with this setup, you'll need to modprobe that same device every time you want to use your EVDO 'net access, but the Prod/vendor info never change. Easily done in a shell script or during boottime, up to you. The other issue is if you disconnect, then want to reconnect right away, it appears the phone doesn't really 'let go' properly, and must be unplugged and reconnected to make that 2nd ppp connection. Again, you don't have to go through the finding/modprobe step again, just pull the cable and reconnect it.

Hi,

I was able to make my card work with 2GB of memory, but after upgrading to 4GB of memory it fails to detect the card.

The command "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" does not list the device.
With 2GB it shows up as

Vendor=106c ProdID=3702 Rev= 1.00

Also when the card is inserted with 4GB of memory /var/log/messages reports the following.

Unfortunately i haven't seen this before but from the log it looks that you are not getting proper IRQ addressing which has been changed since you installed new chips.
First try just reloading the driver for the evdo card and if this wont work you will have to reload drivers for the card connector (usb or PCMCI) and then reload driver for the card itself again .
With new drivers it will assign new IRQ interrupt addresses corresponding to new memory.

I was able to get my alltel um150 to work with this thread for the most part. I can get online to surf the web with firefox, but I have to uncheck the work offline button every time. I also can't seem to get anything else to recognize I'm online such as Synaptic, apt-get, etc. The network icon in the upper right of gnome says "no network connection". Any help would be appreciated. :)

I have not been able to replicate the problem but it definitely looks like its Network Manager problem not a Evdo card issue so i suggest to look in the threads regarding additional configurations in Network Manager itself.

June 18th, 2008, 04:15 PM

I'm not sure what the problem is. Somehow my computer was looking for a connection through my ethernet card instead of my um150. I've kept messing with it and everything seems to be working for now except my weather report applet. Going to System > Administration > Network and setting my wired connection config to "automatic config (dhcp)" seemed to fix my problem with Firefox making me uncheck "work offline" every time.

One more thing coming of the top of my head is to restore /etc/network/interfaces file to original cofigs as network manager does not know how to handle interfaces configured by other software.
To do so type :

sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
and make sure that all it is in that file is the following :

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

and uncomment everything else.

Hope this helps.
Well, I spoke too soon. The changes I made earlier didn't stay after a complete shutdown/restart (I had only rebooted before and they had stayed put then). I checked the network interfaces file and everything looked fine. Thanks for the suggestions!

..... What am I missing?
Wvdial was originally developed for dial-up connections such as ISDN and supports a feature called echo checking which most of the time isn't supported by cell providers ( Verizon doesn't support it for sure ) so it should be turn off to make a connection "always active" .

To do so Open terminal and type:
Code:

sudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial

And insert additionally those lines:
Code:

lcp-echo-failure 0
lcp-echo-interval 0

Restart the connection and you should be on unless you lose the signal or your provider kicks you out .

Just got this short and simple method on the evdo setup , haven't tested it yet on new install but if this is as simple as it appears it may be the easiest way to get EVDO cards working.

Citing directly from the post

1) open terminal and type sudo wvdialconf
2) in terminal type sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
3) after Init1 make it say ATX0.
username is INSERTPHONE#HERE@alltel.net
password is alltel

save and close
4) in terminal type wvdial

you should be on the internet now.
make sure to uncheck work offline under file in the browser.

Thank you this worked wonders. I have a slightly unique set up that this worked with using only minor tweeking so I figured I should post it.
I'm using a Huawei EC360 data card laptop modem in a desktop computer through a PCI to PCMCIA Controller Card (yes they exist).
In order to get it to work with your instructions I just had to leave out the part about blacklisting airprime and then it worked beautifully.
I would have never been able to get this working without you, thanks again, you easily saved me $80 with thes instructions.

P.s. my service provider is alltel.

I have recently upgraded to ubuntu hard from dapper. While in dapper my evdo modem was working just fine, but there was a problem with Hardy. So I followed the spteps outlined in this thread, but then they messed up with the graphics. Apparently by enabling /dev/bus/usb it disbales other drivers. (it could be my laptop that is causing this). What ever the problem was, after I commented out the lines in /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh, my graphics were back to normal. (Oh did I mention that the steps here did not solve my internet problem). So now I am back to square one.

Any ideas. By the way where does one report their modem if it works with Linux. I use a ZTE MY39 evdo modem. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, running Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.1 (newest ISO I could find). I tried using the airprime driver with my PC5750(verizon) and it would hard lock my laptop, Dell D531.

I was on Kubuntu 7.10 and used the USB way before. Had to use it again with 8.04 but worked great! The only problem I ran into, was trying to connect when my Wireless/Bluetooth was on. Had to turn it off before it wanted to connect.

Thanks for the how to guys! I LOVE the ubuntu community!

For anyone with a usb727, I followed the steps here and the modem would disconnect after about 3 seconds with authorization errors.

Finally, I logged into Windows, used VZAccess and connected the modem. I then disconnected in Windows and booted into Ubuntu. When I tried wvdial at that point, the modem connected and stayed connected. I could open Firefox and surf the web.

I was wrong. This process works perfectly. I went back to my drawing board to see what I had done wrong and found out. I had not included usb after /proc/bus/, and that over rided other drivers. But now I am ok, my modem is working perfectly. Thank you all. Thank you very much. I bet my ISP never thought their modem would work under LINUX.

The second method worked like a charm!

I have Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 (AMD64)
Kernel Linux 2.22.3

Wireless Card: QUALCOMM 3G CDMA
Interface: PCMCIA
PN: PC5750

Provider: Verizon Wireless

I even use the Gnome PPP dialer (instead of dialing wvdial every time I want to connect).

To use the Gnome PPP dialer just start it from Applications->Internet->GNOME PPP. The first time you use it you must enter:
1. Your user name (for vzw users it's your_phone_number@vzw3g.com).
2. Password (for vzw users the password is vzw)
3. The number to dial (for vzw users it's #777).
4. Click on Setup.
5. Under the modem tab select Type-> USB (the wireless card is considered a USB modem even though it's connected through PCMCIA).
6. Next to device click Detect and it should bring up the /dev/ttyACM0 or whatever device was detected when you plugged in the card.
7. Save the settings and then click Connect on the main GNOME PPP window.
8. The dialer will dial (it's a bit slow, it takes me about 1min+ to connect) and once you're connected you're GOOD TO GO! :)

A note for FireFox users: make sure that you have Work Offline UNchecked!!! Firefox does not detect that you're online, so you have to force it by going to File->Work Offline and un-check the box.

bleedingpowers

August 21st, 2008, 04:59 PM

Thanks,

The Offline Firefox trick made it worked. In Kubuntu, using KPPP (and nothing else), everything was just plug, configure a bit, and play. Just needed to enter the right information like in the second post from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=497445

By the way, I'm using a Verizon CDMA card (Novatel USB720).

Great Job.

just to let you know there is a way to avoid these disconnections that occur at 2:30 . sudo kwrite and edit the file /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options

add these lines:

lcp-echo-failure 0
lcp-echo-interval 0

save it and the next time you connect there will be no disconnection. My modem stays up for 24 hours no problem.

I hope that this helps..

Hi all,

I am using a Kyocera KPC650 PCMCIA card to connect to Cricket broadband. The card works fine in Windows and has been activated, so hardware problems can be eliminated right off the bat.

I am running OpenSuse 11, but the issues seem similar enough to post my question here since no one on the Suse boards seems to be able to answer it.

I was able to get the modem recognized and dialing out through Kinternet, Wvdial, and Gnome Network Manager. However I am not able to get through the authentication process using any of these methods. Here is my Kinternet log:

SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.59 on linux-uwcp.

I have done some reading about pap and chap secret files, and have tried altering the files in every way I can think of with no success.

Earlier in this thread there were some folks getting the same "exit code 19" errors, but I never saw what they did to fix the problem.

So my question is, what can I try next, and does anyone out there have experience connecting to Cricket Broadband in Linux?

I will study the link. When you say init strings, are you referring to the AT commands that the modem issues when initiating the connection? I had not messed with those, figuring they were irrelevant once a connection was established.

I was also wondering if there is some way I could monitor and save to log file exactly what is happening when the modem connects in Windows and simply recreate that in Linux. Are there network monitoring tools that would reveal the CHAP authentication process on my end?

From looking at the Network settings, I notice that EAP is not enabled, but the boxes for PAP, SPAP, CHAP, MSCHAP, and MSCHAP v2 are all checked, but who knows if they are actually used or not.

I doubt that Cricket uses anything too different than Verizon or any of the other providers though. The phone number used to dial in is #777 and the username is my phone number plus @mycricket.com and the password is blank.

But that's about all I know for sure so far. :(

OK, turns out I was using the wrong password. The one that worked was "cricket".

However, my connection speeds are quite bad. Feels like about 56k, or maybe even slower. Anyone have any tips for optimising connection speeds? Does raising the baud rate help at all? I will probably try that first.

Thanks for everyone who posted on this thread and got me this far. Feels great to be rid of Windows while surfing the internet! I hated going back to Windows for the past week. It felt like torture.

EDIT: I was able to connect with my previous set-up, but could not finish loading even the first web page. My data rate never got above 1.5 kb/s and would eventually just stall out.

What I did was re-read the first page of the guide in this thread and edited my wvdial.conf file to change the first init string from ATZ to ATX0. This seemed to make the difference for me, and I can now load web pages fine (knocks on wood).

After spending the last 4 days fighting this series of problems and set-backs, it's almost a let-down to finally have a good reliable internet connection. Oh well, I guess I will get over it.

Hey , CONGRATULATIONS ! =D>
You have actually solved the problem YOURSELF and possibly helped some other poor soul having same problem just as you did , that is the spirit of the open source movement !
Just to make you feel better , two years ago when i got my first EVDO card there was no Ubuntu how-to's what so ever , it took me a MONTH ! to get it working, i'v spent hours many times til 2AM talking with Verizon tech specialist just to hit the web next morning in search of clues that ware inching me closer to the solution.
I have to say i was close to giving up on numerous failed tries, but today you have hordes of posts that spell you all the magic so few hours over few days doesn't seem so severe.
Most importantly i would like to thank you for shareing the solution , i'm sure it'll be a great help to someone.
Keep your spirit up ;)

Thanks for the encouragement! And also all the grunt work you have done not only in figuring this stuff out for yourself, but helping others above and beyond the C.O.D. It can be very complicated stuff.

My wvdial set up stopped working yesterday so I fought with it for about 12 hours. Every time I dial in, the process behaves slightly different. Sometimes there is CHAP authentication shown in the terminal, sometimes not. Pppd seems to be doing things to try to fix the problem, but it does not tell me exactly what it is up to.

And the various programs you can use to connect don't always share information (e.g. Network Manager, Kppp, Kinternet, Wvdial). If you try to connect in one program it fails for one reason, and so you try another program and it fails for some other reason. Then throw smpppd interaction into the mix, and it gets very confusing.

All I can say for sure now is, it's working, but I'm not entirely sure why, or whether it will still be working this afternoon.

*crosses fingers*

EDIT: Sure enough it quit working. I could connect OK, but the browser would hang on the first webpage I tried to load. I think it may have to do with compression since the times I was able to connect, I'd see a message in wvdial saying "compression disabled".

So I went into the pppd folder and added to the "Options" file a line saying "nodeflate" and this seems to have done the trick (for now).

EDIT: It's still working 24 hours later, so that was definitely my problem.

Good news is your modem is installed properly and is functioning as it should this means all Modem-to-Linux was configured correctly .
The only problem is that the cell provider info you provided for your modem to connect is not correct , the values you need to correct can be one of the following :

Incorrect phone number for dial-out (for US Verizon is #777 )
Incorrect Password
Incorrect provider domain or modem phone number
Modem not being activated , wrong ESN,SIM ...

Make sure to correct above user issues as your hardware works correctly and does not need adjusting.

September 22nd, 2008, 02:18 PM

Who is "the peer" anyway? Does that refer to the provider or the user or both? I found this confusing when setting up my CDMA card and trying to decipher error messages.

Also, has anyone worked with fine tuning compression? I have it completely disabled on my system. I need to or the authentication process fails. However, in reading the ppd man file, it sounds as if the amount of compression can be fine-tuned, as well as turned off completely, so I wonder if playing around with this setting might increase my connection speed.

My speeds are quite slow, seemingly slower than dial up at times, especially in the afternoons. And even during times when I can achieve 50-60 kbs per second, the speed drops off after a minute or so to around 8-10 kbs per second, such as when trying to watch a video on YouTube.

Is this typical, or do other people have more reliable connection speeds. I very feel cheated at times when I have to wait 2-3 minutes just for my Yahoo Mail page to load. I'm thinking it's probably due to my provider (Cricket) taking on too many subscribers on their network, but if there's anything I could do on my end to speed things up, I'd like to try it.

Great tutorial. I've successfully configured two Novatel U727s to connect to Sprint. The devices show up as ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB4. They are automatically detected on boot. I've manually created the ppp0 and ppp1 connections with wvdial.

What I cannot find in the tutorial is how to automatically start the connections on boot. Do I put wvdial commands in one of the startup scripts? What is the best way?

rg_stephens

October 7th, 2008, 01:37 PM

Thanks for the tutorial. I am having a problem on the desktop computer: I just installed Hardy Heron on this machine. I can connect using the tethered LG phone and the PPP0 connection shows up when I type ifconfig but the connection isn't recognized by Network Monitor, and I can't connect to the net.

Do I need to update my programs? If so I'll have to find a different way to connect. I've already rebooted the machine.

ba_rich, you can add wvdial to the sessions menu so that it automatically starts, but I haven't tried it yet. The modem will have to be plugged in when you start the machine. Others have done it, so try searching this thread.

EDIT: Yes, it works!
And I fixed the desktop computer by unplugging it's Ethernet adapter...

Unplug your device and run this command

sudo dmesg -c

This will clear the info. Wait 20 seconds and plug it back in and run this command:

sudo dmesg

You should get a listing of where your device is located (dev/ttyUSB0 or something similar).

Use this info to add to your wvdial script.

It looks like you just need to add the name of the correct device.

(NOTE: This works in OpenSuse, so no guarantee it will work in Ubuntu, but it's worth a try).

Alright, I've got my UM150 working under Ubuntu, but it won't connect to any websites unless my networking is disabled. Is there any way to get it working with the network going? I need to set it up so that the connection is shared out through my wireless router out to a couple of laptops in the house. Here's the setup:

/Laptop (Ubuntu 8.04)
UM150 EVDO -> Desktop PC (Ubuntu) -> Wireless router
\Laptop (Vista)

The desktop PC has two network interfaces - one runs to the internet port on the router to share the network connection, another to port 1 to share files. It works flawlessly for me under XP, but I'm having issues with it in Ubuntu. Any advice?

Mach1US

October 25th, 2008, 10:36 PM

I did it with dapper and what i needed was to remove Network-Manager and set up all interfaces from command line and it was working fine.
This days i always recommend hardware solution as Evdo routers became cheap , with multiple choices in brand and functionality. While some are the size of a deck of cards and battery powered the most beneficial feature is that they provide gateway services without the overhead of running another PC just for internet access , additionally routing traffic on a PC requires additional precessing which in turn degrades the performance.
Again if you running your Gateway PC as a home server it may make sense to let it handle routing and firewall solution, like i said you will need to set it up manually without Network-Manager,for some reason Network-Manger does not like external input controlling networking functions .
Hope this helps.

I have KR1 in my car because i use PC-card(PC5750) and i paid $78 for it on e-bay, it comes with wall as well as car(cigarette lighter) power adapter and has PC-card slot and USB port for EVDO card or phone.
The only complain i have that it takes about 45 to 50 sec to initialize but once connected works flawlessly.
I have also bought few Cradle point routers for USB modem folks, they and they rave about them so i would suggest looking into that one too.
Cradlepoint sales portable one with battery power option.

make sure that wvdial.conf contains correct phone number for your Cell-ISP provider.
The #777 is generic to most US based cell providers, additionally the domain name and format of password is proprietary to your cell provider and it's crucial for successful connection.
On the bright side from the output it looks that your modem communicates with your kernel properly so i would suggest contacting your cell provider and adjusting to their requests, that is the only thing that you are missing.
Just for verification post your wvdial.conf

I see the problem,

You NEED to correct following fields:

; Username = <Your Login Name>
first of all remove " ; " symbol from the beginning of the previous lines .

Secondly, INSERTcorrect
1- Target phone number !!!
2- ISP password for your EVDO connection
3- Login User Name ( US verizon uses @vzw3g.com after your assigned cell number {917-345-5678 )while entering number DO NOT use dashes (-) .

Make sure to use correct Domain (after @ sign )

You are really close, all you need to correct those 3 fields.

Insert this into wvdial.conf

New PPPD = yes
Run it from command line and if still having problem post both outputs again.

First we'll give it a long shot,in wvdial.conf change

Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
to:
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Try to connect then take out your evdo card, insert it back again then in terminal type: dmesg and post your output.

First, THANK YOU

Second:
Equipment
Laptop is an IBM T61 apears to be all intel except for nvidia video
USB Sprint Card -- Novatel Ovation u727

Third, that didn't fix it when I do a dmesg my output is so large that it deletes the first part but here is what I have, I have been fighting this for a week or so and even upgraded to IBEX hoping that the new network manager would fix it. No such luck. :)

I see what the problem is, your card is not being recognized by a Kernel,it means your kernel doesn't see your evdo card.
If quick removal and insertion of the card at end of dmesg does not produce something like this :

[ 171.945756] airprime 6-1:1.0: airprime converter detected
[ 171.945890] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB0

[ 171.946242] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB7
[ 171.946284] usb 6-1: airprime converter now attached to ttyUSB8
your card is not being seen by your linux machine.
This could be caused because by the fact that your card is really new and linux kernel does not have a drivers for it yet .
You may have to google and search forums for proper driver or get a separate cheap EVDO router or get a card that works with linux (99% of them work) .
One thing you may want to try if USBserial ( the second method from this tutorial) will recognize it.

When it connects (I use wvdial) I can see the assigned ip address and DNS server address in the console. I uncheck "work offline" in firefox but it still cant seem to find any sites.

Even trying a "Ping" command to google.com times out..

Shut down your other network interfaces (wireless,wired) , turn off firewall,reboot and try again.

I had this problem with one of my pc's,Network-Manager is a coulprit and i adjusted it in firefox itself, but at the time i was doing lots of browser tweaking and i can't quite remember how i did it but if you type in your browser
about:config you will get all the options where you need to change one the values (this is where i draw blank) to
disable at which point firefox will have the Work Offline option disabled entirely.

Another solution:
I had to edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and changed the line under [ifupdown] to managed=true

edit: possibly unrelated, but after doing that, I found that my boot was hanging up on "Configuring Network Devices". So I edit /etc/network/interfaces and commented out all the lines that deal with my ethernet. This fixed my slow boot and my wired connection still works. in fact it plays alot nicer with nm-applet now.
I got this from the from sroops

Also, for more info, and for my own knowledge, I'm not sure as to whether or not Airprime or the USBSerial drivers is running. It looks like Airprime is not running, even though I modprobe'd it.

I believe the below information is what is required from the dmesg command.

The error I receive upon wvdial terminating is below.

Now I consider myself very inexperienced to linux, but might this be caused by Airprime and USBSerial running side by side?

How do I know what driver is running?

Well I have the Novatel USB760 from verizon and it seems neither of the methods here will work. When I insert the device it is recognized as a USB storage device and mounted as a cdrom. This is because the device has internal storage (where the windows verizon programs are stored) and it also has a micro sd card slot.

When I look through dmesg output there is no mention of "airprime" or of a GSM Modem or serial.

Any thoughts?

I believe that you have to patch the kernel with the Airprime driver. The following link details how one would go about doing so.

I got internet working with an Alltel LG AX8600 and wvdial, but I would like to get it working with Network manager. (As I have to constantly tell Firefox that I am online to browse.) But for some reason it isn't working. I am using port /dev/ttyACM0 for my connection in wvdial, but the network manager doesn't give it as an option. (So I enter it manually.)
Other posts say that "It just works." with the dialer like that. I am blacklisting like first suggested. Any suggestions?

I'm also looking for help with the Alltel AX8600 and Network Manager on Intrepid. Ubuntu detects the USB connection to the phone and creates a /dev/ttyACM0 device, but Network Manager does nothing when I try to connect with the AX8600. No error message, no timeout, nothing. Is there a log for Network Manager or a way to run it from the terminal to get more information?

Edit: In a record time of 45 minutes I have solved this problem. First of all, Network Manager log data is stored in /var/log/syslog. I found some "pin code" errors in there. Turns out my AX8600's security lock had been enabled. I went into the security section of the settings menu on the phone and entered the default unlock code which was the last 4 digits of my phone number. I then plugged the now-unlocked phone back into the USB port and Network Manager automatically created a new profile which fired up in seconds. Sweet!

Hello all!
Please be patient. I am a complete nube (to Linux and ubuntu) and am trying to set up the EVDO modem in 8.10.
I have edited the wvdial.conf file as suggested, but keep getting this message in the gnome pppd log:
"unable to run /usr/sbin/pppd
check permissions , or specify a "PPPD path" option in wvdial.conf"
Then, after a while, I get:
"NO CARRIER
Max attempts Exceeded Aborting
Disconnect at (date and time)"

I think I am getting the hang of some things but others escape me.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I guess I'm having similar problems as others have. wvdial gives me the error:

December 3rd, 2008, 07:39 PM

I was having a similar problem. I could connect but no web pages would load, they would start to load then just die after a second or two.

I added this line to my etc/pppd/options file:

nodeflate

This disables compression, and for some reason it worked on my system. You'll need super user privileges to do this.

Just stick it in there like this, without a # mark in front of it.

nodeflate

# If no local IP address is given, pppd will use the first IP address
# that belongs to the local hostname. If "noipdefault" is given, this
# is disabled and the peer will have to supply an IP address.
noipdefault

# With this option, pppd will accept the peer's idea of our local IP
# address, even if the local IP address was specified in an option.
#ipcp-accept-local

# With this option, pppd will accept the peer's idea of its (remote) IP
# address, even if the remote IP address was specified in an option.
#ipcp-accept-remote

# Run the executable or shell command specified after pppd has terminated
# the link. This script could, for example, issue commands to the modem
# to cause it to hang up if hardware modem control signals were not
# available.
# If mgetty is running, it will reset the modem anyway. So there is no need
# to do it here.
#disconnect "chat -- \d+++\d\c OK ath0 OK"

(NOTE: This is just the first part of my "options" file, not the whole thing)

I suppose I should mention I'm running OpenSuse 11. I thought the files would be in the same places but maybe not. There should be a pppd options file somewhere though.

Another thought is perhaps you could *try* putting this line in your wvdial.conf file if no "pppd options" file can be found.

Hmm...maybe I should just wait for another response on this. wvdial.conf doesn't look like the correct place for that command according to what it looks like already.

foresthill

December 3rd, 2008, 08:25 PM

Does Ubuntu have a file called "man pppd"?

In Suse, to bring it up you go the the terminal and type
man pppd

This brings up a help guide or "manual" which contains all the options you can add to your pppd files and what all the various error codes mean.

I want to make my Ubuntu box a proxy server running squid so that 3 machines at my office can connect to the internet using the proxy. The ubuntu box is the one that has a cdma modem connected to it.

Other posts in similar forums suggest that I can't use both ppp0 (cdma modem) and eth0 (LAN) at the same time. Has anyone ever done it

You need to have evdo card working propoerly first .
I have used different method for connection shearing but mu Linux box was strictly dedicated as a Linux router so answer is yes you can have two and more interfaces running at the same time.
But save yourself same headaches and processor cycles on your machine and just buy cheap EVDO router .
You can new router from my previous post recommending some
or can get used one on e-bay for $50 .

I would like to mention that I got a PCMCIA to PCI converter at NewEgg for around $15 that works great, allowing me to use my PCMCIA card in my various desktop systems.

No set-up was required and it was instantly configured at boot up time (the converter, not the EVDO Card).

I think I actually get better performance in the desktop systems that on my notebook.

Just thought I'd let people know about one more possible option for using a PCMCIA card.

There is many different configuration in which you can run Ubuntu as a router , i had one running with 4 interfaces and routing protocol but for home/small office use you would not need that, search threads expaining how to share internet connection.
This will be less taxing on your machine and a whole lot easier to set it up.

I configured my verizon usb720 air card by going to vpn connections;
then configure vpn;
clicked Mobil broadband;
then clicked + Add
picked T Mobil (Internet)
erased T Mobil in the name box.
Typed Verizon.
Then verizon came up to be able to edit.
clicked Edit.
checked connect automatic box
in the name box Typed; *777
in the username box typed my Air card Telephone number @vzw3g.com
SO here is a example; 7049291234@vzw3g.com
in the password box Typed lower case; vzw

in the apn box there was already internet2.voicestream.com I did not make a change in this box.
I left the network;pin and puk boxs empty.
Re booted with my air card in.
the broad band radio tower showed up.
clicked on the icon radio tower
clicked automobil broadband (CDMA) connection.
and it connected and works twice as fast as it was with no cutouts as it was before I changed to Ubuntu: YAAAA !
I know nothing about programming and read every Article and could not figure it out;for two days. So I decided to do what I do best.Use what I was given as a complete package believing there is a way.

I've followed the instructions in the first post and have managed to get connected with my Sprint EVDO card.

However, now, I cannot connect back to my wireless network for some reason.

I've downloaded the GNOME PPP interface, but haven't tried it yet, is it an alternative to the method mentioned in the original post? If so, how can I go about reverting all of the changes that I made per the first post?

EDIT: I've now tried Gnome PPP, but I cannot get it to connect. Looking at the log, I'm seeing this:

Configuration does not specify a valid phone number.What gives? Is there a walk through anywhere about what numbers should go where?

Most importantly at this moment though is how to get connected back to my wireless network?

Thanks for any and all help!

The Network Manager applet does not like to play with any configurations created by other apps or system config utilities.
the first thing i would try to edit out all instances from its interface configuration file.
The file is located at:

sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
First make a backup of that file and then comment it all out except for your wi-fi wep or other encription keys and paste the following:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Then reinstall network manager

sudo apt-get remove network-manager
sudo apt-get install network-manager
restart and you're done .

There seems to be a driver conflict in current version of the kernel.
Easiest way to get card working is to restart pc and at boot choose 2.6.27-7 kernel which still works.
2.6.27-13 should have a fix when it comes out.

I posted earlier in this thread about getting my Alltel AX8600 working with a USB cable and Intrepid's Network Manager. That broke shortly after I made that post and I wasn't able to connect until Jaunty was released. Now my AX8600 is automatically detected by Jaunty's Network Manager and I can connect again. Hopefully it stays working this time.

Great How To!

Thx guys...

Added:

Ok guys, maybe you can help me with a couple of tweaks. I changed authorizations to access the modem to 'anyone,' so now it no longer asks for a password in terminal. I created a shortcut in a panel. It works as an 'application' if the modem has already been accessed once in terminal that session - otherwise it only works as an 'application in terminal.' Is there anyway to make it work without opening a terminal window the first time [as an application?]

Also, Firefox always initially opens with the 'Work Offline' box checked - even if I am connected. How do I change that, so I don't have to go back, uncheck the box, and reload my homepage, each time I connect?

Thanks,

Luke

P.S. Did anyone determine whether in fact it runs faster, if you use the air-port driver, as opposed to USB0?

This worked beautifully on my new Compaq Mini 110c-1001, yes the verizon fios gimme. It was WinXP w/ 1GB RAM and 16GB SSD HDD, upgraded to 2GB RAM and 160GB SATA HDD. The modem is the compass 597u through Sprint. The OS is the :netbook remix.

Note: needed to install WVDIAL as it is not in the netbook remix and once installed all I have to do is select the auto mobile broadband nic in the network icon, no cli required. :)

First of all, thanks to everyone here for a great thread. I have things working nicely either with a borrowed USB760 or with my MiFi2200. (They both need the 'unmount the CD' fix, and actually use identical USB identifiers.) Running XUbuntu Hardy 8.04.

I've been looking all over for the answer to what I think is a simple question. I don't want to spend yet another $90 on an EVDO router like the CTR350 after all the fees I've paid to get the devices and the wireless contract and the... anyway. And the MiFi's wireless is unreliable and it doesn't have an Ethernet port. So here's the question:

What exactly is it that trips Verizon's "there's another device trying to use this connection" that makes them drop me with the classic "LCP terminated by peer" message? Clearly both the EVDO routers and ******* internet connection sharing get around this. I am guessing I need some kind of NATting, but I haven't found anything that actually describes the solution. (There is the suggestion to use some complex VMWare solution, but as far as I can tell that's layering a whole bunch of extra software to do something that is probably rather trivial.)

Mach1US, I know that you favor the EVDO router, but it sounded like you'd figured out what was needed and just decided not to do it for performance reasons. Could you elaborate? Or is there a HOWTO or post someplace else that covers this?

Thanks,

Yes, this will work for all providers but you will need to enter proper dial # and if needed password and phone extension which can be obtained from your provider

For example verizon
Phone = #777
Username = 2223334444@vzw3g.com (replace 2223334444 with your#)
Password = vzw

I sure hope someone in the know is still watching this thread to help us beginners!

I'm trying to follow the instructions on the first page but keep getting error messages to the effect of: gedit: command not found.

I'm using Maverick on an older IBM Thinkpad, trying to install a Verizon USB760 card. Naturally, Verizon tech support had never heard of Linux.

Thanks in advance!

That is a little strange. gedit is the graphical text editor installed by default in Ubuntu. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working.

Which specific line are you trying to enter?
Are you doing so from a terminal?(I assume so)
Have you ever used nano?(Nano is a terminal based text editor that's quite easy to use.)

Also, type

sudo uname -a

into a terminal and post back what it says. This will tell us the specific version of the linux kernel running to ensure you are indeed running Maverick.

By the way, Verizon does actually have Linux drivers for the 760 aircard. However, they're only available to Business "enterprise" customers. That modem works just fine without the drivers using built in commands.

On further thought, have you tried simply plugging the 760 aircard in and looking in network manager (the place where you can normally see wifi connections) for a new device. I have used quite a few different verizon aircards in ubuntu 10.10 and have always had success using network manager. It's quick and simple and doesn't involve any terminal work.

Let us know how you fare or if you don't get any where.

Thank you both for the speedy replies! It's finals week, my Mac just died, and I'm screwed enough without at least getting my Linux backup laptop here fully net-friendly. Here's what I'm getting:

~$ sudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
sudo: gedit: command not found
~$ sudo uname -a
Linux death 2.6.35-23-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 17 22:15:35 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

As to Network Manager, I'm seeing under System Settings -> Network Settings ... is that what you mean? I'm not seeing the Verizon card anywhere there.

The network manager will probably be a much easier and stable(imho) way of connecting this 760 aircard in maverick.

The network manager is probably a little icon near the upper right portion of the top toolbar. It will either have two arrows, one pointing up and one pointing down, or a little wireless symbol.
Here are some examples:

[/URL][url]http://primevpn.org/images/setup/linux-openvpn/24.jpeg (http://primevpn.org/images/setup/linux-openvpn/24.jpeg)

It changes based on what type of connection is currently the default, I believe.

Also, when you first plug the 760 into the USB port, does a new "hard disk" appear on your desktop? I have a spare 760 at my office, so I can try it out Monday if you still haven't gotten it connected.

Ok, I see the interface you're talking about. I also tried under network settings, setting up a new CDMA celluar connection. It asks for phone number, which I have, and user name and password. Verizon tells me there's no specific username and password affiliated with this account. Am I just making one up?

Secondly, I'm not seeing a way to disconnect from the wifi in order to try connecting with the broadband, other than maybe to delete the wifi from network settings.

I believe the settings should be as follows:

Username = 1234567890@vzw3g.com
Password = yourpassword
Phone = #777

replace the 1234567890 with the phone number of the aircard(sometimes you can just leave it as 1234567890 and it won't even matter)
yourpassword doesn't matter either. Just leave it.
The phone number HAS to be #777. That's the modem number for verizon aircards to dial up.

As far as the wifi thing; if you are actually connected to a wifi network, underneath the connection there would be a Disconnect link. You can always right click on the network manager and uncheck "Enable Wireless". Your wired connections and aircard connections will still be enabled.

As with so many things Kubuntu, I knew it had to be something simple, it's just getting there. And I can't believe Verizon tech support has nothing to help with Linux users.

So now while I panic over my non-booting mac with all my school notes on it, I at least have my wonderfully working backup Linux machine upon which to finish writing term papers. Thanks again and again and again...

I used to have USB760 and problem with it was that it have built in CD-Rom emulator which has to be disabled in order to prjojperly assign dev identifier.

Can you post output from following command:

also can you tell me what happens when you just type gedit by itself.
Additionally if left click on your wireless connection icon you will see option to disconnect from a particular wireless network

Looks like you have ip from your cell connection, unfortunately most likely you will need to restart your laptop to connect again if you pull the 760 out or suspend the laptop, instructions at the beginning of this thread fixes this issue.

Just FYI you can also turn in on or off via command line:

ifconfig -displays all interfaces on your machine
iwconfig -displays wireless interfaces
sudo ifdown eth1 -takes wireless(usually eth1)interface down
sudo ifup eth1 -brings wireless interface up (eth1 in this case)
sudo dhclient eth1 -refreshes DHCP
sudo lshw -C network -shows all NIC interface info
sudo /etc/init.d/network restart -to restart networking services
