Huawei E1750

Post by JasonH » 06 Jul 2015, 04:23

I am not sure if I should start a new thread here, or pick up this older thread. (http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... 750#p14301)

I am having problems connecting my Huawei E1750 reliably. I was previously using the standard usb_modeswitch included in raspbian (I think 1.2.3 or so) but it would sometimes switch correctly and other times not. I really couldn't discern a pattern to it. For that reason I upgraded to the latest source release of usb-modeswitch 2.2.3. (I did this upgrade from a clean install of everything via my ansible scripts without ever installing the raspbian dpkg versions.) I am using the latest raspbian on a raspberry pi 2 with a device that identifies as:

Code: Select all

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 12d1:1446 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E1552/E1800/E173 (HSPA modem)
This is through lsusb with usb-modeswitch not installed (and externally on the physical package it is identified as a huawei E1750)

With the latest usb-modeswitch installed the device is switched into:

Code: Select all

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem
However there is no modem listed in /dev/gsm*

I tried turning logging on and tried disabling mode switch through the /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf but for some reason these settings are not "sticking" and it is not logging anything to /var/log/... and mode switch has not disabled automatic switching. See (http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... 750#p15259)

In any case continuing on the thread from the previous topic on the E1750 here is the detailed output of lsusb (once switching has occurred):

Code: Select all

[pi@pi008:/usr/share/usb_modeswitch] $ lsusb -v -d 12d1:1001

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem

and hints as to what I should change in the configuration. I gather usb-modeswitch is picking up the file in /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1446 but this might not be doing the switching correctly? I am not sure...

Thanks for any help!!

Cheers,
Jason

I managed to get the log file to display it's information and it now states:

Any hints? I did have this intermittently working to some degree under the default usb_modeswitch installed with the raspberry pi. There are a few too many variables at play here. Eg the version I compiled up uses the following ansible rules:

Code: Select all

    # http://www.libusb.org/
  - name: unarchive libusb (a usb-modeswitch dependency)
    unarchive: src=libusb-1.0.9.tar.bz2 dest=/usr/local/src
  - name: configure libsub
    shell: ./configure chdir=/usr/local/src/libusb-1.0.9 creates=/usr/local/src/libusb-1.0.9/Makefile
  - name: make install libsub
    shell: make install chdir=/usr/local/src/libusb-1.0.9 creates=/usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0

    # I have tweaked the sources just a tiny bit as per: http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2337&p=15255#p15255
    # http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/usb-modeswitch-2.2.3.tar.bz2
  - name: unarchive the latest usb-modeswitch
    unarchive: src=usb-modeswitch-2.2.3a.tar.bz2 dest=/usr/local/src
  - name: make install usb-modeswitch
    shell: make install chdir=/usr/local/src/usb-modeswitch-2.2.3 creates=/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch

    # http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/usb-modeswitch-data-20150627.tar.bz2
  - name: unarchive the latest usb-modeswitch-data
    unarchive: src=usb-modeswitch-data-20150627.tar.bz2 dest=/usr/local/src
  - name: make install usb-modeswitch-data
    shell: make install chdir=/usr/local/src/usb-modeswitch-data-20150627 creates=/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
But within that there are a lot of things which could change. In terms of reproducibility I am really not sure that the libusb-1.0.9 library is what I want? Or the devel library? I feel like a more methodical approach here would be good, but I guess that is hard to do? BTW is there a github repo or bitbucket repo for modeswitch? (The only repos I saw were https://github.com/digidietze/usb-modeswitch-data and https://github.com/trevd/usb-modeswitch but these both look massively out of date...)

So I have never gotten the compiled from source versions to work at all with any of my E1750, E169, or E1800.

I guess I will continue to play around with the installed version in the latest raspberian...

Any hints or help?

Thanks, Jason

Hmm, I tested 2.2.2 on Pi 2 with current Raspbian and did not encounter problems. However, I did not try all of my 10+ modems. I will do so and see if the problem pops up.

Note: Just to note, the sources I am using are 2.2.3a whereas above you said you are on 2.2.2 (where a is the tweak to include the fix you pointed out in http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... f=2&t=2337)

BTW is there some kind of repo for this somewhere so we can try different versions throughout the history of the project?

(Just to confirm I reinstalled everything from scratch and now on

Code: Select all

[pi@pi008:~] $ dpkg -l
...
ii  usb-modeswitch 1.2.3+repack armhf        mode switching tool for controlli
ii  usb-modeswitch 20120815-2   all          mode switching data for usb-modes
...
So with the E1750 modem plugged directly into the pi, then modeswitch 1.2.3+repack works and wvdial seems to connect without problems. (I have not tested long term stability, getting stuck, retailing, etc but it seems to work on the short time scale of minutes)

When operating on a connected USB hub modeswitch 1.2.3+repack seems not to work...

Code: Select all

[pi@pi008:/var/log] $ more usb_
usb_modeswitch_ttyUSB0  usb_modeswitch_ttyUSB1  usb_modeswitch_ttyUSB2  
[pi@pi008:/var/log] $ more usb_modeswitch_ttyUSB0

So the summary of the configurations I have tried so far:

Code: Select all

WORKS       modeswitch=1.2.3+repack     modem=E1750     connection=directUSBOnPi    /dev/gsmmodem=present      /var/log/usb_modeswitch*=present
WORKS       modeswitch=1.2.3+repack     modem=E169      connection=directUSBOnPi    /dev/gsmmodem=present      /var/log/usb_modeswitch*=present
NOTWORKING  modeswitch=1.2.3+repack     modem=E1750     connection=ThroughUSBHub1   /dev/gsmmodem=missing      /var/log/usb_modeswitch*=present
NOTWORKING  modeswitch=1.2.3+repack     modem=E169      connection=ThroughUSBHub2   /dev/gsmmodem=missing      /var/log/usb_modeswitch*=present
NOTWORKING  modeswitch=2.2.3a           modem=E1750     connection=directUSBOnPi    /dev/gsmmodem=missing      /var/log/usb_modeswitch*=present
NOTWORKING  modeswitch=2.2.3a           modem=E169      connection=directUSBOnP2    /dev/gsmmodem=missing      /var/log/usb_modeswitch*=present
I am not entirely sure all of those are totally correct since during that time I have been trying this and that things to get the modems to go and be recognized but I can confirm I can get the E169 and the E1750 working somewhat repeatably using the old version and no hub...

Are there any steps I should be doing differently to ensure this works with the hub?

I am wondering if I am building 2.2.3a with the wrong / different libusb?

Ohhh and one final question -- with your 10+ modems -- are there any you recommend as being more stable than others? Using less power? Generally better / more reliable that the others? (I am trying to get a mini fleet of around 10 pi's being able to phone home and report stuff (IOT's sort of applications...)

Thanks again for all the help!
Jason

Further to this on modeswitch 1.2.3+repack the only difference in log file /var/log/usb_modeswitch_ttyUSB0 when connected to the hub vs connected directly to the pi appears to be:

(1) the time of the log (obviously)
(2) direct to pi the device is 1-1.4, and on the hub the device is 1-1.4.1

See the attached file for the visual diff...
