The ZTE MF197 modem is not getting connected in my linux based system.
By plugging into a PC the default product id was found to be 0x1225. However no usb switching file was found for a device with that product id.

from lsusb in the PC the target id was found as 0x1405.

however i donot know the message content to be given in the modeswitch file. What is the actual meaning of that message content. If i give the message contents given for other ZTE models, the switching happens but the modem is not getting connected. I get an error as

Script /bin/chat -v -t10 -f /etc/ppp/ppp.chat finished (pid 1553), status = 0x3
Connect script failed

Here is my PPP chat script for reference. pls help me solve the problem.

Code:
ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE'
ABORT 'NO ANSWER'
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
ABORT DELAYED
ABORT 'COMMAND NOT SUPPORT'

'' ''
'' 'ATZ'
'OK' "ATQ0 V1 E1  S0=0 &C0 &D2"

SAY 'show device infomation...\n'         
'OK' 'ATI'                               
                                           
SAY 'show SIM CIMI...\n'                 
#'OK' 'AT+CIMI'                           

SAY 'set APN...\n'
'OK' 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","tata.docomo.internet"'

SAY 'dial...\n\n'
'OK' 'ATD*99#'
'CONNECT' ''



N.B: The Huawei modems are connecting easily without any chat script errors. This error only crops for ZTE modems.

You are using an old usb_modeswitch version with an old data package, 19d2:1225 is in the data package since 6 month back.

19d2:1405 is not a ppp dialup modem, it is a direct ethernet adapter with interfaces which should be driven by cdc_ether. There is no serial interface for AT-cmds.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Ya i googled it though what am not sure is. Will it be enough to just insert the module cdc_ether.ko or is there any additional step? Everything in google seems to be aimed at PCs. Mine is an embedded system. I included the module in Kernel configuration. Is insmod alone enuf during plugin?? Thats my doubt. :| :?

After inserting the cdc_ether module in kernel config. When i plugin the modem the dmesg is

<4>[ 125.670000] usb 1-1: usbfs: process 880 (usb_modeswitch) did not claim interface 0 before use
<6>[ 131.010000] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2

<4>[ 174.790000] g_ether: Unknown symbol usb_gadget_unregister_driver


now this does not show in ifconfig as eth1.

from google i tried a solution of editing /etc/network/interface

Code:
auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0


But still no difference. Please help. :?

my ifconfig shows only

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:03:04:05

The usb0 device is created by usbnet which cdc_ether is dependent on, should be loaded before cdc_ether.

Ya the usbnet was already loaded b4 loading cdc_ether. Anyway the issue was i had to run a binary for allocating ip dynamically. When done. This worked. It is now recognized as eth1.
Code:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:01:02:03:04:05 
          inet addr:192.168.1.168  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1002 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:2176 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:71661 (69.9 KiB)  TX bytes:2951007 (2.8 MiB)
          Interrupt:52 Base address:0x7000
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 34:4B:50:B7:EF:1C 
          inet addr:192.168.0.100  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:1350 (1.3 KiB)  TX bytes:1240 (1.2 KiB)

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback 
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:2616 (2.5 KiB)  TX bytes:2616 (2.5 KiB)
