Hi there forum,

I really hope someone might be able to help here with setting up a Huawei E352s-2 - I think I'm over complicating this as to me it should almost work "out the box" - But I'm clearly wrong or missing something - The challenge is my OS is Tiny Core (The Raspberry Pi flavour piCore)

Code: Select all

snb@snb:~$ version
13.0.3

Code: Select all

snb@snb:~$ uname -a
Linux snb 5.10.16-piCore-v7 #1 SMP Tue Feb 16 19:08:42 UTC 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux

The specific modem on plugin shows as :

Code: Select all

Bus 001 Device 010: ID 12d1:14fe Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Modem (Mass Storage Mode)

With the dmesg showing :

Code: Select all

[ 8353.044710] usb 1-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 10 using dwc_otg

I have tried just about every switch mode I can find related to this modem and using :

Code: Select all

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 14fe -c /home/snb/update_skynetwork/log/modswitch_gsm

Where config is :

Code: Select all

TargetVendor=  0x12d1
TargetProductList="14db,14dc"
HuaweiNewMode=1
MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000a11062000000000000100000000000000"
NoDriverLoading=1

I can get :

Code: Select all

Bus 001 Device 011: ID 12d1:1506 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Modem/Networkcard

And dmesg shows :

But I have no idea if this is right or where to next? Previously and ideally now I would like to reach the "hi link" mode where the system creates a eth1 and the modem does the dialup as such.

It seems with a certain config at some point :

Code: Select all

MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011063000000100010000000000000000"

I seemed to get a wwan0 interface but no connection on it.

I'm not familiar with how to set this up at all as been in circles now for a few days - ANY help is greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
Dean

What is your linux kernel version number?
Show me the output of lsusb -vd 12d1:1506

Hi Lom,

Sure, that command shows :

Still no connection - But it seems this is now similar to the Message Content I used before along the way and got a wwan0 interface.

So where to next to make this actually go live. hummmm

I don't know how stripped your TinyCore linux is but normally you would not need to do anything manually, udev would find your dongle and invoke usb_modeswitch which would use a switch msg based on the usb id of the dongle, a switch msg it finds in the usb_modeswitch data package.
linux NetworkManager would manage the wwan0 net device you got created, bringing the connection up or down.

Yip, it seems there is an issue in the modem manager package on Tiny Core - The guys on that forum have just confirmed

So rather than using udev and mmcli etc, would you know what specific switch mode I must specify to go to "hi link" mode.

I actually managed to get this mode once while trying endless configs - But now for the life of me I can't get it again

Do you know where I can reference the possible modes and their switches for this modem? I see on some forums they talk about a Vendor lookup site - But this only seems to show me the brand and not the possible modes. Anyway I can find that as possible I skip the udev route and go direct cdc_ether and hilink mode on eth1.

Maaaaybe? Hope so and chat soon - Thank you!

no guarantee that they give you your desired result, I guess MAC and Android messages are more likely to produce a pure eth net device.

One of the most important things is to make sure you are using the latest version slope of Tiny Core. Older versions may not support Huawei E352s-2.
