Sorry, no modem was detected!  Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?

Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial

If you still have problems, send mail to <wvdial-list@lists.nit.ca>.

still no ttyUSB0 in /dev/

thanks in advance

download the fedora 12 LIVE cd and install that
Fedora 9 is WAY past it's END OF LIFE and is no longer supported.

see if the /etc/syslog[.log] or /etc/messages[.log] files have any clues as to which port it is at.

install usb_modeswitch from fedora repos.
since /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf is old in repos replace it with new updated config file or append lines below at the end of usb_modeswitch.conf

Code:

DefaultVendor= 0x19d2
DefaultProduct= 0xfff5
TargetVendor= 0x19d2
TargetProduct= 0xfff1
#DetachStorageOnly=1
MessageEndpoint=0x0a
MessageContent="5553424312345678c00000008000069f010000000000000000000000000000"
#ResponseEndpoint=0x84
#NeedResponse=1

now as root issue the following command.

Code:

usb_modeswitch

It would say something like

Code:

Looking for target devices
 No target device found
Looking for default devices
 Found default devices (1)
Prepare switching, accessing latest device
Looking for active default driver to detach it
 OK, driver found ("usb-storage")
 OK, Driver "usb-storage" successfully detached
Setting up communication with device
Trying to send the message
 OK, message successfully sent.
-> See /proc/bus/usb/devices (or call lsusb) for changes. Bye

then issue following command as root

Code:

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0xfff1

now see if the product has changed from 0xfff5 to fff1 using

Code:

lsusb

then issue as root

Code:

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

and once its done

Code:


	Code:
	wvdial

then output should be

Code:

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Sending: AT+CRM=1
AT+CRM=1
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT#777
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT#777
CONNECT
--> Carrier detected.  Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Sun Mar 21 22:07:17 2010
--> Pid of pppd: 2565

--> pppd: 3

--> pppd: 3
--> primary   DNS address xx.1xx.156.118
--> pppd: 3
--> secondary DNS address 202.xx5.153.xx
--> pppd: 3

now

Code:

echo "nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx" >> /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx" >> /etc/resolv.conf

where xx.xx.xx.xx is the primary and secondary DNS addresses produced by your wvdial.

baig is this still the unsupported and DEAD fedora 9 .
IF SO install fedora 12 or 13 ( 13 will be out very soon)

baig · 03-22-2010, 03:04 PM

I don't know what do you mean by DEAD?

I still get updates from fedora 9 servers across the globe. Yes indeed it the same fedora 9.

Cheers!!

John VV · 03-22-2010, 04:17 PM

YOU DO NOT i repeat YOU DO NOT get updates for fedora 9
fedora 9 has BEEN UNSUPPORTED for a year now
There have BEEN NO UPDATES it it
and there will NEVER be any updates to it EVER .

baig · 03-23-2010, 11:51 AM

Thanks for your "CLEAR" declaration

I will soon switch to fedora 12 or 13. But I would still ask "Why fedora 9 mirrors are up, to this date then?

Cheers!!
