 Huawei E169 USB modem on Puppy 4.1.1
Subject description: How to connect to internet using Huawei E169 USB modem on Puppy 4.1.1 |
|
Using NetworkManager 0.7
(http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/),
my E169 modem connected flawlessly on Ubuntu8.10
But I have had no success with Puppy 4.1.1.
I have fetched NetworkManager from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/NetworkManager/0.7/
Trying to install it yielded:
checking for /etc/redhat-release... no
checking for /etc/SuSE-release... no
checking for /etc/fedora-release... no
checking for /etc/gentoo-release... no
checking for /etc/debian_version... no
checking for /etc/arch-release... no
checking for /etc/slackware-version... no
checking for /etc/frugalware-release... no
checking for /etc/mandriva-release... no
./configure: line 23018: lsb_release: command not found
Linux distribution autodetection failed, you must specify the distribution to target using --with-distro=DISTRO
1. Which choice of distro might work for puppy?
2. If installation isn't possible. How do I modify the recipe of

I have a Huawei E169 working with puppy-4.1.2. I just opened the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local in a text editor, added the following line:
| Code: | | modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1001 |
Then I used pupdial to probe for the modem. I think I then had problems with wvdial giving a very low connect speed, so I needed to open /etc/wvdial.conf in a text editor, and edit it to have:
| Code: |
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Carrier Check = no
Dial Command = ATDT
Phone = *99#
Username = ppp
Password = ppp
Auto Reconnect = yes
[Dialer isp2]
Phone = MY2ISPPHONENUM
Username = MY2USERNAME
Password = MY2PASSWORD
Auto Reconnect = yes
|
I then rebooted, and the device is detected OK. Then ran pupdial & connected fine. I used an optus prepaid service, just recently on a train from Sydney to Melbourne, and while there were plenty of places with no signal, it switched from HSPA to GSM seamlessly.
Edit: Instead of relying on memory, I've added my current wvdial.conf, which I'm using to post this using an E169.

Hi Muggins,
SUCCESS!
| Code: | --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATX1DT*99***1#
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATX1DT*99***1#

--> Don't know what to do! Starting pppd and hoping for the best.
--> Starting pppd at Mon Dec 22 22:31:32 2008
--> pid of pppd: 17876 |
The only adjustment I did was to disable: "Carrier check" in
PupDial modem internet dialer.
With "Carrier check" enabled the response was
| Code: | --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53

Hello,
sorry for digging up this older post, but I have followed the steps mentioned here and ran into trouble, so I thought I'dd apend to this thread.
I am still a linux newbie, and just finished installing 4.1.2 on a DecTop, and used these instructions even though there seem a few out there (like this one which seem to be too complicated without some more experience)
First of all the modem would not respond, so I followed instructions from
http://linuxsoftware.co.nz/wiki/E169G
and after installing and running
usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1001 -H 1
I can use pupDial... but with little luck.
It works fine untill
| Code: | --> Carrier detected. Waiting for prompt.
--> Don't know what to do! Starting pppd and hoping for the best.
--> Starting pppd at Thu Dec 28 22:11:34 2006
--> pid of pppd: 2442 |
then "Disconnecting" after a while
("The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16)").
/var/log/messages is mentioned after hungup, and shows this: | Quote: |

I don't know what to do, especially since UMTS connection here is a bit tricky at the moment (due to construction outside of the house this place is currently a faraday cage). I tried to connect using a usb extension though multiple times with the same result.
Is there a way to force gprs connection? (Or manually change network as sometimes I have to connect the e169g stick to a mac to choose o2 again?)
Or what could I possibly be doing wrong?
I am trying to connect to O2 Germany (Tchibo mobile), apn "webmobil1", user/pass blank (which will not work in pupDial, so I use ppp/ppp)
Thanks for any help 
-Marcus

Marcus,
Rerwin is actively working on a .pet to automatically detect these devices. See this thread here, download & install his latest .pet, reboot, then plug in your E169, and if it's still not successfully detected, pm the log files to Rerwin.

 Huawei E220 USB modem on Pupeee 4.2 |
|
Many thanks, Muggins! I have Asus Eee Pc 701 with default Xandros Linux distro and I wanted to try something new so I just installed Pupeee 4.2 to my 1 GB
USB drive. So far everything has worked just fine. At first I was really worried how I'm gonna set my network connections right, because I had used Huawei E220 modem with my Asus Eee without any problems and I had read lots of stories how difficult it could be with other linux distros. But it wasn't difficult at all! Your simple and straight forward instructions were just what I had been looking for. So thanks!
