Setup a Mobile Broadband connection in BT4

This is how I got my mobile broadband working on BT4

Huawei model E160 USB stick modem on T Mobile network works on BT4

1 first plug in the usb modem
2 run from console

Code:

#wvdialconf

- this creates

Code:

/etc/vwdial.conf

3 Edit wvdial.conf
this is copy of my edited wvdial.conf:-

Code:

[Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = *99# ISDN = 0 Password = pass New PPPD = yes Dial Command = ATDT Username = user Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 9600 Stupid Mode = 1

Notes about wvdial.conf
edit phone number T-Mobile *99#
Password can be either pass or net (lower case)
username = user or net (lower case )
add lines

Code:

Dial Command = ATDT Stupid Mode = 1

4 now run #wvdial the following is the output displayed:-

Code:

Re: Mobile Broadband BT4

Try different rate values

Baud = 460800
Baud = 921600

HUAWEI USB MODEM INSTALL BT4
continuing from parrotfaces tutorial

Later modems [ those that can accept a memory card] these require “switching “ to detach the memory card .to do this we need usb_modeswitch .
A list of supported modems can be found here:-

Draisberghof - Software - USB_ModeSwitch

code: modeswitch
wget http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modes...-1.1.2.tar.bz2
sudo tar jxvf usb-modeswitch-1.1.2.tar.bz2
cd usb-modeswitch-1.1.2
sudo make install

code: modeswitch-data
wget http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modes...100418.tar.bz2
sudo tar jxvf usb-modeswitch-data-20100418.tar.bz2
cd usb-modeswitch-data-20100418
sudo make install

The next thing we need is sakis3g. This is a connection manager
which configures the modem , and makes the network connection .

code: sakis

wget "http://www.sakis3g.org/versions/latest/sakis3g.gz"
gunzip sakis3g.gz
chmod +x sakis3g
./sakis3g --interactive

to start the connection , open a terminal , type “ ./sakis3g --interactive “
follow the on-screen prompts .

Auto dial icon on the task-bar [works with older/newer modems]

right click task-bar select this from the fly out menu
/add application to panel /non-KDE application
button title = give it a name eg 3G
icon = pick an icon from the menu
executable = wvdial or ./sakis3g --interactive
command line = put " / " in the box
tick the box next to “ run in terminal window “

Thats it you now should have a working 3g connection in bt4 .

Re: Setup a Mobile Broadband connection in BT4

I edited wvdial.conf as you directed except my APN or others that is different for my network connection. But i got the following error "error in opening ttyusb0". I searched it in the given directory, but there is no file like "ttyusb0".
previously I install usb_modeswitch, also try sakis3g. bt not working.

Re: Setup a Mobile Broadband connection in BT4

I personally had success with sakis3g.. but my 5800 dint work..tried it out with various huawei modems though..(E1570 & E220). I recommend you try that out. Or if you want it using the cellphone have a look at joikuspot. Its a mobile app that turns your WLAN enabled phone into an AP.

When I try and it can be connected to the Internet. But after walking a few minutes, suddenly could not move the mouse and the computer hang. I can not do anything more than pressing the power button to turn off the system. So what's wrong? I expect the help to solve it?

thanks.

Re: Setup a Mobile Broadband connection in BT4

Another option if your using an android with wifi hotspot capability & unlimited data is simply root your phone, use SuperUser app to protect access to 'su', and activate a wifi tether.

But hey, not every one had a droid =p

Re: Setup a Mobile Broadband connection in BT4

How do I edit wvdial.conf
i tried gedit cat/etc/wvdial.conf
but i'm getting the message that gedit has not been installed and i have to install it.
But i don't have internet connection to do so.
So for 4 days i'm searching for this information to connect my nokia 5800 which has 3g.
Please help me solve it. I'm a beginner and i'm not so familiar with many codes.
thank you.

First of all gedit is not included in Backtrack and second that is a basic linux issue.
