　I am sorry to say that i am a newbie to Linux.javascript:emoticon('').
My HUAWEI　EC169　works quite well on Linux with the help of Mobile Partner. Info says that most 3G cards can work well with the help of usb_modeswitch and wvdial. But when i try to use EC169 this way ,i got problems .I tried many solutions ,still can’t do. Anybody help? Many ,many thanks!

My environment is :
Kernel: 2.6.24-19-generic Ubuntu 8.04
Usb_modeswitch: usb-modeswitch-1.1.4 usb-modeswitch-data-20100826
When i first plug in ,it runs as a CD-ROM,and pop up a auto-run dialog,i shut it ,and run follows.



lee1@lee1-desktop:~$ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0002
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

It seems that EC169 has only one address, 12d1：1001.
then i check the info in the log messages:

It seems that sth like ttyUSB＊ has already come into being, Then i tried this:

Also ,It seems that there are already info of related ttyUSB*. but when i check in the /dev .

root@lee1-desktop:~# ls /dev/ttyU*
/dev/ttyUSB3 /dev/ttyUSB_utps_modem
/dev/ttyUSB_utps_diag /dev/ttyUSB_utps_pcui

This time there is a ttyUSB3. I remember last time it is a ttyUSB0 and sometime there is just none except the other three. That's so odd!
The other three are the automatically products of 　HUAWEI　 Mobile Partner，cause it runs automatically when it detects ec 169. Then I test whether ttyUSB3 is a modem like this:

root@lee1-desktop:~# wvdialconf /etc/wvdialconf

Obiviously it was not, Only the product of MP was seen as a modem.
Then I try usb_modeswitch.. I write the file usb_modeswitch.conf.
I tried HuaweiMode and later DetachStorageOnly,both has the same result.

I am confused , why it doesn't read the config file,cause i see others running the command and the first output is：Reading config file:＊＊＊＊＊（filename）.Then i tried this :

Still can't do ,though it got the configurations, my PC is UBUNTU 8.04 under a VMare.Caould anybody help?
Another strange thing is that I turn on logging in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf; plug again and after a while have a look in /var/log. There is no file named "usb_modeswitch_<something>.log".
Info from google says that it maybe due to the lack of tcl, so I test as follows:

root@lee1-desktop:~# tclsh
%
It seems I have already got tcl. And I found that there are two in /usr/bin: tcl and tcl8.4, I wonder if they would conflict which may causes they don’t work well.
Also info can be seen from the next code ? I just put them here.

This Huawei Linux package is quite new. It installs all kind of things and I guess they do switching too. So if you have it installed you might be able to uninstall usb_modeswitch completely.

I know there is a udev rule installed which will rename the serial ports upon creation. Even if you don't use the Huawei program for connection, you can use /dev/ttyUSB_utps_modem, which is really ttyUSB0 with a different name.

Don't trust "wvdialconf" too much, run it once and then edit /etc/wvdial.conf according to your access data. There are plenty of examples around how to set it up. You can start with this one:

Code: Select all

Phone = *99***1#
Username = <your_username>
Password = <your_password>
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB_utps_modem
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATE0V1&D2&C1S0=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","<your_access_point>"
ISDN = 0

Hi
Josh


Thanks for your reply. I did try wvdial with the /dev/ttyUSB_utps_modem, and it worked.
But the problem is ttyUSB_utps_modem is the production of Mobile Partner. Before the setup of MP, it didn't show up on Linux. I still can't use EC169 through usb_modeswitch.

And later ,i tried to use usb_modeswitch in another vmare without MP. I followd the steps doing switching again, butl no ttyUSB* showed up in /dev. ,which means the switching is still unsuccessful.

I wonder whether ec169 can be switched into a modem with the help of usb_modeswitch. Later i will post the running code of the other vmare without MP. Could you check it for me? Many ,many ,thanks.

Also, is it true for ec169 that a lower version of usb_modeswitch is better for the switching ? easier?

[Josh]

I followd the steps doing switching again, butl no ttyUSB* showed up in /dev. ,which means the switching is still unsuccessful.

Which steps do you mean? Usually, just install the usb-modeswitch package and the data package, and everything should work right away if you plug your modem in afterwards.

You have a rather old kernel version running, where the serial driver binding for new and unknown devices will not work as easily as with later kernels.
But for your device this is no problem because it is known to the driver and it will be bound right away.

Please note that if you see the device as "12d1:1001" it is already switched. You don't have to use usb_modeswitch with it. If something is not working right, switch on logging in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf.

Otherwise, don't edit or use /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf !

Everybody who is telling you to do so is referring to long outdated versions of this program.

I wonder whether ec169 can be switched into a modem with the help of usb_modeswitch.

I'm sure it can be.
If you try to make it work without the Huawei software, check if there is a file named "/lib/udev/rules.d/61-modem-modeswitch.rules" or similar. This might interfere with usb_modeswitch and it is not needed, so move it away (e.g. into your home directory).

Also, is it true for ec169 that a lower version of usb_modeswitch is better for the switching ? easier?

No. Whoever told you that is wrong. I worked on making the switching fully automatic and it's now easier and mor reliable than ever before.

[lili87]

Thanks very much for your reply. My kernel version is old indeed. At first ,I did think ec169 was switched cause When i plugged in, it showed up as "12d1:1001" with the code "lsusb", and also the /var/log/messages says there are ttyUSB*. But they just didn't show up in the /dev,so i suspect that the switching of it was unsuccessful.

"The steps" means the install and use steps in "http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/"
I am not sure whether i followed the steps correctly. Tomorrow i'll try again as follows:

1. On the vmare without MP
Remove usb_modeswitch completely and install again following the correct steps. and try ec 169 ,see whether it can work.

2.On the vmare with MP
Move the /lib/udev/rules.d/61-modem-modeswitch.rule or similar anywhere else to see whether
ec 169 can work.

"Also, is it true for ec169 that a lower version of usb_modeswitch is better for the switching ? easier?"
I am sorry to say that i got this view just because i am told others use ec169 well via early version of usb_modeswitch. I can't wait to see the results tomorrow. Thanks again.

[Josh]

Actually, your step 2. is meant for the system without MP also.
This "61-modem-modeswitch.rule" may be part of the Ubuntu system. If you find it (on either system, MP or not MP) just move it away. It is just a nuisance.

[lili87]

This "61-modem-modeswitch.rule" may be part of the Ubuntu system. If you find it (on either system, MP or not MP) just move it away. It is just a nuisance.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I found there are no other rules except 40-usb-modeswitch.rule (it was gone when i uninstall the usb_modeswitch) under /lib/udev/rules.d/ .
And a "61-persistent-storage-edd.rules" was found in /etc/udev/rules.d,there are some other rules too.

Oh , another problem of my language understanding of the the texts in "http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/":
Since my system is Ubuntu 8.04, besides the three packages (usb-modeswitch-1.1.4.tar.bz2; usb-modeswitch-data; device_reference.txt ), should i download sth else from "http://packages.debian.org/search?keywo ... modeswitch" (Debian Repository.)

I saw that there are no makefiles in the software "usb-modeswitch_1.1.4-1_amd64" or" usb-modeswitch_1.1.4-1_ia64" downloaded from "Debian Repository" and i just thought that ithey has little to do with the installation. So i didn't use anything from "http://packages.debian.org/search?keywo ... modeswitch".(Debian Repository)

The steps taken before are on the base of just downloading all the other three packages(usb-modeswitch-1.1.4.tar.bz2; usb-modeswitch-data; device_reference.tx) from "http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... .4.tar.bz2" and "http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... 26.tar.bz2" and "http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... nce.txt.gz".
Nothing was downloaded from the "Debian Repository".

I am wondering whether i had downloaded the wrong version of usb_modewitch not fit for the Ubuntu system, which was indeed a original, fatal, and huge mistake .

Also ,i am confused when i uninstall the usb_modeswitch completely and plug in ec169 ,the info in the /var/log/messages
still says that there are ttyUSB*, code are post following:

Is it due to the reason that it has been switched before and the kernel just recognize it as a modem or that the HUAWEI MP did the work? Hope also the code bellow has sth to do with the ttyUSB* showed up without usb_modeswitch.

Stange enough ! I didn't uninstall and reinstall the usb_modeswitch in the ubuntu without huawei MP.but When i just plug in ec 169, then there the modem just appears! I didn't change anything! Does that means that the installation before was correct? But the same steps were taken in Ubuntu with huawei MP, and no positive results showed up.
The code are bellow:

Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

And the “lsmod” results are follows ,it seems that nothing differ from the code result in the ubuntu with huawei MP.

Actually, your step 2. is meant for the system without MP also.
This "61-modem-modeswitch.rule" may be part of the Ubuntu system. If you find it (on either system, MP or not MP) just move it away. It is just a nuisance.

But in the ubuntu with MP, i uninstall and reinstall the usb_modeswitch, reboot and plug in ec169. still no ttyUSB* appears in /dev besides the production of huawei MP. The code can be seen below.

root@lee1-desktop:~# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0e0f:0002
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
root@lee1-desktop:~# ls /dev/ttyU*
/dev/ttyUSB_utps_diag /dev/ttyUSB_utps_modem /dev/ttyUSB_utps_pcui

Does it means that ec 169 has been switched by usb_modeswitch, but with MP the ttyUSB* has been renamed or just cleaned (since there are no ttyUSB1/2/3 too)?

[Josh]

Since I don't know what exactly the MP package is changing on the system, I can't say for sure what makes the device switch. I suppose there is a different switching program installed.

What I know is that the mode they (Huawei) would be switching to is slightly different from what usb_modeswitch does at the moment. But this does not change the fact that the first port can be used as a normal modem port.

And I know for sure that they are just renaming the serial ports. As I said, ttyUSB_utps_modem is identical to ttyUSB0, and I'm sure the other "utps" names are ttyUSB1 and 2.

You should be able to follow what they are doing if you look into the folders /etc/udev/rules.d and /libudev/rules.d. You will find a find a file "10-datacard.rules" or similar. This is what MP is installing and there the renaming will happen.

If you want to get rid of the MP components, look for something like an "uninstall" function for the package.

BTW, if you have the opportunity to send me a copy of the software coming with the modem I'd appreciate that - I would really like to analyze that package.

I am not sure whether there is a different switching program installed before, but i did intall only usb_modeswitch and MP. And the ttyUSB* just can be seen from /var/log/messages when i unintalll usb_modeswitch. I suppose it was due the work of MP.

Yes, I found a "10-huawei-datacard.rules" there and i check the install package of MP, there is one too. And then i unintall the MP completely,(usb_modeswitch is still there ) ,plug in ec 169 and see that there are ttyUSB0/1/2 in /dev!!!! And ec169 works. Obviously that MP interfere with the work of usb_modeswitch.

BTW, if you have the opportunity to send me a copy of the software coming with the modem I'd appreciate that - I would really like to analyze that package.

OK, i will send it to you later ,should the mailbox "usb_admin at draisberghof de" be good for receiving? The huawei software MP fits a serial huawei cards for different systems. I got the install package but no code source files.

The install package is fine, and the address is good.

Thanks in advance!

[lili87]

Strange things happened! the next day i opened my PC, plug in EC169 ,the PC doesn't recognize it !!!!

But yesterday i did nothing except for the uninstallation of huawei MP and eEC169 just work when plugged in. Is it because the switching is unstable? when i use "lsusb", the address of EC169 turns to 12d1:1446!!! So weird!!
It went back!!!! AND i really don,t know why, So i try switching again following the steps. (The usb_modeswitch and data package were already there) .But there is no success. Could you check the code bellow for me ? I can't thank you too much!!

There should be ttyUSB* in the /dev when i just plug in ec169 cause yesterday it was so ,but situation seems different today!! So i switch it mannually, but still no ttyUSB* showed up in /dev.

I suspect that sth has blocked the switching of ec 169 and there are no ttyUSB* generates since that after reboot the system just can't recognize ec169.

I try another ec 169 since i got two cards of the same type.Still no success but the address this time is "12d1:1001" .A bit different also can be seen in the /var/log/messages.

Then i check in the /dev,there is no ttyUSB* . (Another time i try those same steps again and ttyUSB0/1/2 showed up but no ttyUSB3. So odd.!! It seems the switching depends on luck!!!) But unfortunately no chance of dialing success through wvdial with ttyUSB0 !!! Has it got sth to do with the weird switching of ec169?
Since ec 169 nwork well in Windows.:

So odd! The two cards both fail to generate modem. but the first one is "12d1:1446" and the second is "12d1:1001" . I suppose that the first one has been blocked when switching and second has been switched but the ttyUSB* just don't show up .
May it be due to the device differences between the two same ec 169 cards or the switching work of usb_modeswitch?
After all ,both of them didn't work in ubuntu 8.04

Hello, Josh, the install package have already been mailed to you. Please check for receiving.

I put it into two mails in case that the enclosure is to big for uploading.
