Help for Huawei E180V (EC122)

Post by cpd1986 » 03 Nov 2014, 17:47

Hi, I just request a new 3G wireless card with Huawei USB Port. I am trying to set it up in my Gentoo with kernel 3.16.0. But I failed. I don't what to do next to make it right. Here is some information, please someone help me.

the USB port is Huawei's product whose model is EC122 written in the user's guide. I installed the usb_serial as module and I followed the guide in Gentoo wiki where I made some small changes in Defaultproduct where I put 0x140c, you will see the information in the following part. The Gentoo wiki guide could be found here:
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/USB_ModeSwitch
and
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Huawei_E367
However neither works. I also found a discussion in this forum for Huawei E180v where it seems the same equipment as mine. But it doesn't work either. I still cound't find /dev/ttyUSB*. Here is link of the discussion: http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... php?p=3307

Here you could find the information of card and error feedback
After detecting by the system, I got:

Don't use /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf for device configuration !!
That Gentoo information is wrong.

Have a look at the main documentation page of usb_modeswitch, paragraph "How to use" - see link in the top navigation bar.

Also, your device is well known (at least in the original usb_modeswitch data package available here). If you install it (and the latest program package as well) you might get rid of your problems.

If not, post your usb_modeswitch log (again, refer to the doc page, paragraph "Troubleshooting" to learn about the logging feature).

That's what I have suspected; the log would have shown that very clearly.

Yes, I saw that too. So stupid. That's why I deleted the previous post. :)
