IMHO new device information: MEDION S4222

Post by oliver » 16 Jan 2015, 19:46

Hi.

IMHO I've new information about a device:

The device is:
* It is a USB-Modem-Stick
* Company: MEDION
* Type: S4222
* Link of the product
* I use it for this telecommunication service provider: Hofer Telekom (HoT)

My system is the following:
System: Kernel: 3.13.0-37-generic x86_64 (64 bit, gcc: 4.8.2)
Desktop: Gnome Distro: Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca
Machine: System: Hewlett-Packard (portable) product: HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC
Mobo: Hewlett-Packard model: 226A version: 73.25
HP Pavilion 17-f151ng (K0W64EA)
Bios: American Megatrends version: F.29 date: 08/14/2014
CPU: Quad core AMD A8-6410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics

Version information of the SW packages:
* usb-modeswitch-data, Ver.: 20140327-1
* usb-modeswitch, Ver.: 2.1.1+repack0-1ubuntu1

What I did:
I used the config file 0e8d:0002:uPr=MT (from /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/configPack.tar.gz) and changed it in the following ways:
* 1.: I copied this file to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d
* 2.: I renamed it to 0e8d:0002
* 3.: I added the entries:

Code: Select all

        DefaultVendor= 0x0e8d
        DefaultProduct=0x0002
So the name of my config file is 0e8d:0002, and its content is:

Code: Select all

# MediaTek MT6276M
DefaultVendor= 0x0e8d
DefaultProduct=0x0002
TargetVendor=0x0e8d
TargetProductList="00a1,00a2"
MessageContent="555342431234567800000000000006f0010300000000000000000000000000"
With these changes it was possible that, in case the above described USB-Modem-Stick is attached to the system, the USB-Modem-Stick could be identified by my system as a modem. And with this it is possible for me to get an Internet connection.
An output of lsusb, after usb-modeswitch did its work, results in:

Code: Select all

Bus 003 Device 007: ID 0e8d:00a5 MediaTek Inc.
Attention: Since it seems that in my operating system are not the latest versions of the usb-modeswitch packages already integrated, 00a5 is not part of the TargetProductList in my config file. Although it is working as described above.

Attention: What I don't know:
In the file 0e8d:0002:uPr=MT is also stated "MediaTek MT6276M and others", but I don't know if the above described USB-Modem-Stick contains the MediaTek MT6276M chipset or an other one.

I hope this helps, and I have nothing forgotten.

Regards
Oliver.

It was added for the previous release of the data package (version 20140529).
The name part that you removed was added because of conflicts with MediaTek phones.
See this bug report.

So you can't just remove it without reviving the bug ...

If your modem did not trigger the mode switch with the existing config file, its USB product name may be different and not contain the string "MT".

To figure out what to do you can enable logging of usb_modeswitch (see file "/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf") and post the full log here - after re-plugging your modem, of course.

USB IDs are usually more reliable when identifying the original maker and type of a device than model names are. There is so much re-branding going on that a name does not tell you much.

Hi Josh.

IMHO I can remove the part of the file name on my PC, cause with this it works. The more important question is what the package owner will do inside the official package. This for sure I can not decide.

Thank you for the information of the logging (I used it during my task to get the whole system running). Here are the log-file contents of usb_modeswitch.log in two cases:

1. In case I've added my config-file 0e8d:0002 to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/ (in this case my system is working):

Re: IMHO new device information: MEDION S4222

Yes, this is to be expected.

Try appending your configuration name with "uPr=Product".
The full name should then be "0e8d:0002:uPr=Product".

This should work and still not affect those phones.

Now just add your target product ID to the list, and you will get a success message.

I have noted this addition for the next data package release. Thanks for reporting the device!

Dear Oliver and Josua,

thanks a lot for your fine work. It helped to get the webstick working, including the SMS section. Here in Germany, the item is commonly sold as 'ALDI TALK Webstick' and the provider 'ALDI TALK/MedionMobile' can be selected in the NetworkManager configuration.

* usb-modeswitch-data, Ver.: 20140327-1
* usb-modeswitch, Ver.: 2.1.1+repack0-1ubuntu1
On my notebook (Samsung R50 as of 2005) with Kubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, I use the system packages
* usb-modeswitch, 1.2.3+repack0-1ubuntu2
* usb-modeswitch-data, 20120120-0ubuntu1
augmented with the relevant lines/file from your description resp. from
* usb-modeswitch-data, 20150115
(The current usb-modeswitch 2.2.1 compiled fine, but I didn't replace the binaries/scripts yet.)

After plugging in the device it takes about 30 seconds for the PIN dialog to show up. Then I can actvate 'Mobile Breitbandverbindungen' and start 'ALDI TALK/MedionMobile' at APN 'internet.eplus.de' with the 30 days XL flatrate. The whole process works without problems repeatedly.

Cheers, Andreas
