Huawei E156G 3G USB Modem works in bt4 pre-final

[3z___]

Hello guys..
I got Huawei E156G 3G USB Modem and it works in bt3 final, bt4 beta and beta 4 pre-final.
I just want to share my situation..In bt4 pre-final, lsusb shows:

...
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem / E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem
...


1-To connect, what I did, I typed "wvdialconf" and the output:

root@home:~# wvdialconf
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Found a modem on /dev/ttyUSB0.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.
ttyUSB0<Info>: Speed 9600; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"
ttyUSB1<Info>: Speed 9600; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"
root@home:~#


2-Then I tried :

root@home:~# wvdialconf test

..


root@home:~# cat test

[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
; Phone = <Target Phone Number>
ISDN = 0
; Username = <Your Login Name>
Init1 = ATZ
; Password = <Your Password>
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 9600


3-Then I edited wvdial.conf in /etc:
change the following (in /etc/wvdial.conf):

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 9600
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = 0
; Phone = <Target Phone Number>
; Password = <Your Password>
; Username = <Your Login Name>

into

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

Where X in "Phone=X" is your ISP phone number specific.. In my case it`s *99#
..not sure why I have to put "Stupid Mode = 1" but it works. So I did this:

root@home:~# kate /etc/wvdial.conf

then copy and paste the code config above to wvdial.conf

4-Now to connect type "wvdial":

root@home:~# ldconfig
root@home:~# wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.

--> primary DNS address a.a.a.a
--> pppd: ���[08][10]��[08]
--> secondary DNS address b.b.b.b
--> pppd: ���[08][10]��[08]


Here the important data are:

local IP addrss is our IP
remote IP is the gateway <--gw
primary DNS addrss is the DNS server IP<--nameserver

but still not connected:

root@home:~# ping w w w google c o m
ping: unknown host w w w google c o m

So lets assigne our IP manually with the above info:

ifconfig ppp0 x.x.x.x
route add default gw y.y.y.y
echo nameserver a.a.a.a > /etc/resolv.conf

Now:

root@home:/home/refan# ping w w w google c o m

For backtrack 3 user,install wvdial and wvstreams, type:

installpkg wvstreams-3.75.0-i486-1nec.tgz
installpkg wvdial-1.54.0-i486-1nec.tgz

for backtrack 4 beta user, just type "apt-get install wvdial"
and it works for me, hopefully it can be useful.
I believe there is a better method and I am still searching...
Thanks for the devs for this release, I have learned many new things here and keep up the good works.

I am using gnome-ppp as my front end for wvdial. I am still struggling to actually connect to T-Mobile HSDPA connection but i am sure that google will eventually give me the answer.

$sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp

I followed the above instructions and got my Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem / E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem working in about 5 mins.

I did wvdialconf

and copied in the code into the /etc/wvdial.conf

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

Edited /etc/wvdial.conf with the appropriate username and password.

Ran wvdial and got connected and was surfing in seconds.

Great post.

I use a Novatel Ovation MC950D HSDPA modem. But I set my wvdial.conf to Baud = 460800.

Wvdial entry for my Nokia 5800, Baud = 921600

Both work just fine.
