(For- ETS 2288/2051/2077/2251/2551/2577/and other Qualcomm modems)
tested on ETS 2288
Hello to everybody who landed on this page desperately trying to get Huawei modem work on your Linux installation. I have detailed each step, so even if you have just switched to Linux you shouldn’t have trouble following them. All you have to do is simply copy/paste the lines and you should get the problem solved, hopefully.
The commands used in the terminal require root privileges, so type su and the password to login as root.
ti_usb_3410_5052 1-1:2.0: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter detected
usb 1-1: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter now attached to /dev/ttyUSB0
In this case your modem is installed and you can directly proceed with setting the dial-up connection. Here it is attached to ttyUSB0 port, if another port is displayed note it and replace the port name in the wvdial.conf file that you will make shortly.
But it’s most likely that you’ll end up with the following lines:
ti_usb_3410_5052 1-1:1.0: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter detected
ti_usb_3410_5052: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -5
This is due to the problem in the cable. There's nothing to panic though, just follow the next steps and you should be able to get it installed properly.
gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/026_ti_usb_3410.rules
Then paste the following lines into the text editor and save it.
#TI USB 3410
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" ACTION=="add" SYSFS{idVendor}=="0451",SYSFS{idProduct}=="3410" \
SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}=="2" \
SYSFS{bConfigurationValue}=="1" \
RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 2 > /sys%p/device/bConfigurationValue'"
Your rule file is created.
If gedit (default gnome text editor) is not installed then replace it with the available text editor. For example use kwrite command for KDE.
ti_usb_3410_5052 1-1:2.0: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter detected
usb 1-1: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter now attached to /dev/ttyUSB0
Note the port as mentioned in step 2.
And that ends the installation process.
Now that the modem is installed, let’s make a dial-up connection.
Note that the dialer “KPPP” is installed by default on KDE desktops. Unfortunately it does not support “stupid mode” and cannot be used.
Using WVDIAL
One way to do this is using the program “wvdial”. It is a terminal program, so continue with the terminal and make sure you're root.
For this you have to edit the /etc/ wvdial.conf
Enter the command
gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
Put the following lines to the file changing the Phone, “username” and “password” values as necessary (without quotes) and save it. Also make sure to replace the modem port if its different.
[Dialer huawei]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 230400
Phone = #777
Init1 = ATZ
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
Username = “username”
Password = “password”
PPPD Options = crtcts multilink usepeerdns lock defaultroute
Now the conf file is ready.
gedit /etc/resolv.conf
Copy the IPs displayed as primary and secondary DNS address displayed when the modem gets connected, paste it into this file and save it. It should be similar to this (the numbers would probably vary):
nameserver 203.81.104.25
nameserver 203.81.105.3
Press Ctrl+c to disconnect.
If you want to avoid the terminal next time you dial, download Gnome PPP and head over to the next section.
Using GNOME PPP
This is a GUI front-end for wvdial internet dialer.
Please note that you have to download this application. After installation, launch it from: Applications > Internet > GNOME PPP.
There’s nothing much to explain here. Just check out the screen shots below and enter the settings.
Gnome PPP in Ubuntu 7.04:
Be sure to make the following necessary changes in the Setup dialog:
Modem Tab- Device: /dev/ttyUSB0 (you’ll have to type it, doesn’t appear in the drop down list)
Type: USB Modem
Speed: 230400
Options Tab- Ignore terminal strings (stupid mode): Checked
Finally press Connect to dial.
That's all to connect to the internet using this neat GUI tool.
