Hi
I've a Huawei E169G that I'd like to automate startup in IPCop but the bundled executable from here crashes with:

root@vanwall-1:~ # usb_modeswitch -v 0×12d1 -p 0×1001 -d 1
Floating point exception

If anybody's compiled for IPCop - I'd like to avoid setting up an IPCop dev system .....

living in hope......

Did you try all the binaries that are offered on the USB_ModeSwitch main page? Some compiler/system combinations give that error, so I compiled binaries for different systems. All x86 / 32bit.

Hi

it's sorted

I mailed Tom Eichstaedt at www.ipadd.de who maintains a very useful pool of IPCop binaries and he's a star-

http://www.ipadd.de/download/usb_modeswitch095.tar.gz

works for me with IPCop 1.4.21 (2.4.36 kernel) and the following appended into /etc/rc.d/rc.local to invoke it from boot:


# Added for Huawei USB Modem

rmmod sd_mod
rmmod usb-storage
wait 2
/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1001 -H 1
wait 2
insmod usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1001 maxSize=4096

Good to know your system is working now. Thanks for the information.

But again, just for my information, did you check out the alternative binaries here ?

If none of these worked, I have to add more variants, and maybe should set up a 2.4 system. If you would be so kind ...

Will check your binaries - but no action likely till Monday 5th
