USB LTE Dongle - ID 05c6:902d Qualcomm, Inc.

Hi guys,
I purchased this Dongle from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4G-LTE- ... 4c4d9aUxyi

usb_modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data-20191128 installed

Code: Select all

~$ usb_modeswitch -e

 * usb_modeswitch: handle USB devices with multiple modes
 * Version 2.6.1 (C) Josua Dietze 2017
 * Based on libusb1/libusbx

 ! PLEASE REPORT NEW CONFIGURATIONS !

This is what happen when I plug it in my laptop (I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on x86_64 cpu)

Code: Select all

~$ sudo lsusb
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 05c6:9024 Qualcomm, Inc.

From dmesg output I can see that device switched from 05c6:902d to 05c6:9024 (correct?)

Code: Select all

~$ ip a
11: usb0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 92:5a:3d:66:56:0d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    inet6 fe80::cdce:6fbd:4ffa:6d2e/64 scope link noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

From usb0 I can connect to 192.168.100.1 and open the dashboard panel:

I can set up my broadband connection:

But, no connection to internet.

I want to know if I can run any program to check if this device can actually read the sim card i put it in,
if I can force the connection,
if I have to do some operation through usb_modeswitch, mmcli to make it works,
if I have to switch driver from rndis_host to qmi_wwan or others.

Thanks in advance.

Just adding that my dongle looks exactly the same as yours but I have idVendor=05c6, idProduct=f00e. Mine works FYI but it runs like shit. The dongle is rated at 150mbps, on wifi I get a shitty 20mbps and over usb an even shittier 10mbps. My phone for comparison can pull 120-180mbps...

Came here hoping to find some magical code to unlock full USB potential, but I guess a lot of people struggle with this chip...

When connected to USB, are you running it under qmi_wwan or cdc_ether?

[beetzcontag]

Mine's literally Plug'n'Play. Plug into phone charger for wifi or plug straight into Raspberry Pi for usb internet & wifi together. I didn't do any configuration..

What's the output of lsusb -t?
