It only works with the cdc_acm driver.

No but I got a serial to usb converter that hooks the modem up on /dev/ttyUSB0

LOM, you are right - this may be the cause of the problem!

How could I miss that ??



well no, that is not the problem. I got a bunch of links after running usb_modeswitch and /dev/ttyUSB2 seems to be the only one working (and it must be talking, otherwise the chat script would terminate much ...

O.K., now we need to catch the communication between the modem and the software. I had hoped that the init process of the software would show up in the modem log (without you dialling 'manually').

If that does not work, you might have to sniff out the USB traffic, at least up to the point when the ...

It is still not clear if you really have network on your Windows computer. The dialling is not your problem.

Again: how did you achieve the successful connection on the Windows laptop that you mentioned in one of your previous posts? Did you use special software? Did you check if you could access ...

redid my chat script to this:


'ABORT' 'BUSY'
'ABORT' 'ERROR'
'ABORT' 'NO ANSWER'
'ABORT' 'NO CARRIER'
'ABORT' 'NO DIALTONE'

I don't quite understand.

You say the connection worked on a Windows laptop.

But the log from Windows that you posted shows that the connection failed :

07-09-2012 14:39:01.422 - Interpreted response: No Carrier
07-09-2012 14:39:01.422 - Hanging up the modem.

I suppose you tried to connect by ...

using usb_modeswitch with following config file:

Ah, okay, I now came up with this chat script:

I can not really extract how I have to redo my chat script...
e.g. where do they set the APN?


Thanks for your help Josh!

Just checked on Windows 7 - logging still works.

System Control -> Phone and Modems -> Modems. Here your modem should be listed; if it is connected, "Properties" will be available.

In the "Properties" dialog, there should be an admin button "Change settings". Afterwards, the "Logging" checkbox on ...

Where would I get the log from or also, is there a preferred USB sniffer I should use?

Thanks,
Ron

How do I know which data package I have installed?

Josh wrote:This device is already included in the latest data package release.

If you have at least usb-modeswitch version 1.2.1 on your system, you can just install from source. It will not break anything.

What does already included mean? I got usb_modeswitch 1.2.3 on my system.
