Jan 06 11:55:50 <enresinado> Hi all
Jan 06 11:56:29 <enresinado> could anyone give a help setting up a Huawei E173u-1 with Fonera 2.0n with 2.3.7.0 firmware?
Jan 06 12:02:55 <blathijs> enresinado: Did it work in previous firmware versions?
Jan 06 12:03:43 <blathijs> Hmm, seems not, there is already an old ticket open (#1023)
Jan 06 12:04:05 <enresinado> nope
Jan 06 12:04:15 <enresinado> I bought the router last week
Jan 06 12:04:37 <enresinado> it came with firmware 2.3.0.0 but it dind't work
Jan 06 12:05:52 <enresinado> with 2.3.7.0 the X over 3G icon on the dashboard desappeared, but the message "UMTS is dialing in" stays like forever
Jan 06 12:06:48 <blathijs> enresinado: It seems there is a workaround reported by another user, for exactly your modem, at http://trac.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/ticket/1023
Jan 06 12:07:58 <enresinado> I already saw that, but that was for 2.3.7.0 beta 3 and I'm a noob on this so I don't really know how to give that command in the prompt
Jan 06 12:08:46 <enresinado> I have the dev formware version and I can access the router thru ssh
Jan 06 12:09:03 <blathijs> It shouldn't be different from the 2.3.7.0 final release
Jan 06 12:09:14 <enresinado> ok, will give a try then
Jan 06 12:09:29 <blathijs> You can just paste that command in the SSH command prompt
Jan 06 12:09:29 <enresinado> thx
Jan 06 12:09:38 <enresinado> ok
Jan 06 12:09:45 <blathijs> This page might contain some useful info as well: http://trac.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/wiki/reportbugs
Jan 06 12:33:11 <enresinado> root@Fonera:~# uci set umtsd.option12D1140C.cmd=/dev/ttyUSB0
Jan 06 12:33:11 <enresinado> uci: Invalid argument
Jan 06 12:33:22 <enresinado> what am I doing wrong?
Jan 06 12:37:35 <blathijs> Hmm, looks good
Jan 06 12:37:37 <blathijs> let me try that
Jan 06 12:37:46 <enresinado> ok thanks
Jan 06 12:41:07 <blathijs> enresinado: I added updated instructions to #1023
Jan 06 12:42:46 <enresinado> ok blathijs, just let check it
Jan 06 12:52:33 <enresinado> well those command entered, but unfortunately I see no changes
Jan 06 13:05:17 <enresinado> still doesn't work, unfortunately
Jan 06 13:17:08 <enresinado> another thing that I don't understand, is that my dongle is a Optimus Kanguru, mas in the pre defined profiles of the firmware 2.3.7.0 there are Optimus, Kanguru and Kanguru (fixo) and I don't know what are the diferences between them
Jan 06 13:49:12 <blathijs> enresinado: I think the profiles are only providers, not dongles? Perhaps Optimus and Kanguru were two different providers that merged at some point?
Jan 06 13:55:33 <enresinado> blathijs, kanguru is a Optimus products/service
Jan 06 13:55:47 <enresinado> since ever
Jan 06 13:59:15 <enresinado> this is really frustating, because the 3G dongle is the only way that I have to access to internet, and I bought the fonera router for that purpose... :\
Jan 06 14:06:16 <blathijs> enresinado: With the current code, it's a bit hard to further debug this. However, I'm planning to integrate a newer umts daemon into the firmware in the coming weeks, which should allow more debug feedback and tweaking with settings. If you stick around here, I'll be happy to give you sneak preview versions when I have them :-)
Jan 06 14:11:31 <enresinado> blathijs, good news then
Jan 06 14:11:59 <enresinado> yes, from now on, i'll be around here frequently :)
Jan 06 14:15:31 <blathijs> Cool :-)
Jan 06 15:59:35 <enresinado> blathijs: on http://http://oldwiki.fon.com/wiki/3G_compatibility there's an entry from natario saying that e173 worked with 2.3.7.0 beta 3 after some mods
Jan 06 15:59:50 <enresinado> the mods are:
Jan 06 16:00:07 <enresinado> "changed to modem mode using the command "usb_modeswitch -W -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1446" and changed the file "/Apps/umtsd.lua" line 39 from local cmd "/dev/ttyUSB1" to local cmd "/dev/ttyUSB0" "
Jan 06 16:00:24 <enresinado> do you think it worths a try?
Jan 06 16:16:59 <blathijs> enresinado: I suspect that usb modeswitch might already be doing the right thing for your modem (you can check, if /dev/ttyUSB0 exists, it worked)
Jan 06 16:17:43 <blathijs> enresinado: Changing the umtsd.lua file is basically the same as what you did with the uci commands
Jan 06 16:39:35 <enresinado> ah ok
Jan 06 16:44:15 <enresinado> can this problem be bue to this dongle be simultaniously an HSDPA USB Modem and a storage microSD drive?
Jan 06 16:56:31 <blathijs> enresinado: That's what usbmodeswitch should be fixing, to switch it from drive to modem mode
Jan 06 16:56:41 <blathijs> at least that's what happens with most dongles
Jan 06 16:58:41 <enresinado> hmmm I see
