One tip: try to be complete about product specifications. Please don't type aproximations but *exact* info. If you can't get them from the accompanying documentation in Linux using lspci, lsusb, catting /proc or whatever but can get them in POS (that's the Pitiful Operating System aka MICROS~1 Game Platform): please do so.

That said, check if yours is a "Huawei ETS2077 Fixed Wireless Terminal". If so you should count yourself lucky.
1. See if the hwinfo, udev and mkinitrd packages need updating (yum, apt-get, up2date, autoupdate),
2. Make sure you have a recent 2.6 kernel (uname -a),
3. Create an executable script file called /etc/hotplug/usb/ti_usb_3410_5420:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

BOOT_CONFIG=1
ACTIVE_CONFIG=2

if [ "$ACTION" != "add" ]
then
exit
fi

CONFIG_PATH=/sys${DEVPATH%/?*}/bConfigurationValue

if [ 0`cat $CONFIG_PATH` -ne $BOOT_CONFIG ]
then
exit
fi

PRODUCT=${PRODUCT%/?*}# delete version
VENDOR_ID=`printf "%d" 0x${PRODUCT%/?*}`
PRODUCT_ID=`printf "%d" 0x${PRODUCT#*?/}`

PARAM_PATH=/sys/module/ti_usb_3410_5052/parameters

function scan() {
s=$1
shift
for i
do
if [[ $s -eq $i ]]
then
return 0
fi
done
return 1
}

IFS=$IFS,

if (scan $VENDOR_ID 1105 `cat $PARAM_PATH/vendor_3410` &&
scan $PRODUCT_ID 13328 `cat $PARAM_PATH/product_3410`) ||
(scan $VENDOR_ID 1105 `cat $PARAM_PATH/vendor_5052` &&
scan $PRODUCT_ID 20562 20818 20570 20575 `cat $PARAM_PATH/product_5052`)
then
echo $ACTIVE_CONFIG > $CONFIG_PATH
fi

4. Create link: "ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem" after which you should be able to use your favourite configuration tool / text editor to configure your modem.

Maybe read the complete instructions off-site: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/per...-terminal.html before trying.

Hi,

I have recently succeeded to make a Huawei ETS2056 (which basically uses the same driver, and acts and is treated the same way under linux) act as a normal modem under Linux, through the use of a provided DB9/USB cable.

I will dictate here all the steps that I took for making it work; since you seem to be new with Linux, I will try to give as much details as possible.
All the operations where made with root priviledge: you need to open a console (the text prompt like MSDOS for Microsoft), and you type 'su<Enter>' and you enter password for root.

1. Downloaded the latest kernel (currently 2.6.18.1). Extracted it to '/usr/src/kernels'. I downloaded it from Cybercafe, since I had not connection yet. If you don't want to compile kernel, skip to step 4; you will then need to make sure that the Kernel should be at least version 2.6.15.
2. Configured it with 'make oldconfig' and then 'make menuconfig', and under Device Driver -> USB Support -> USB Converter -> I enabled the TI 3410/5052 (just look for it in the USB converter section). Don't forget to enable all of the things you need as a module, not built-in (you usually need to press M instead of Y).
3. Compiled it with the 'make', and then 'make modules_install' and then 'make install'. You can now reboot, and you will see your new kernel listed in the boot menu (LILO or GRUB).
4. Now, go to the Kernel source directory (for me, it was /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.18.1) using simple 'cd /usr/src/kernels/...' (like in MSDOS), and type 'cd drivers/usb/serial' to go to the USB serial drivers.
5. Type 'kwrite ti_usb_3410_5052.c' to see the content of the driver file. DO NOT EDIT IT. Just go to line 20, and see the instruction. The file that it mentions as a hotplug script is the line from 24 - 68.
6. Copy it, and create a new file with that content; just REMOVE THE STARS (*) in front of each line.
7. Save the file in the place mentionned in line 20. It is the file that unSpawn has posted above.
8. Now, open a new console, and then login as root. Type in 'dmesg -c' to clear the Kernel log (so as to make things clearer to see). Don't close the console, just press <Enter> for several times, because we will need to see what the kernel says
9. Plug the modem in the USB port. Type 'dmesg -c' again in the console, and you should see it saying about ttyUSB0 (means OK). If not, and then unplug the modem, and repeat step 7.
10. Use wvdial to connect to the Internet. Type 'man wvdial' for more informations of how to use wvdial, along with 'man wvdial.conf' for its configuration. You could begin with 'wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf'
11. When you finish configuring, add 'Stupid Mode = 1' in the configuration.

Hope that will help you.

Regards,
Elie Zedeck.

Hi, this is Johanesa. I've been trying to use huawei fixed wireless ets2051 with modem on linux 10.0 and I struggled. I do not have the modem driver for linux 10.0. Could anyone help me on this. Thanks a million.

tariqzia · 01-03-2007, 05:31 AM

Please visit http://www.openpages.info . I have put my whole configuration with HUAWEI on that site. Just click the link on the left side panel.

elie.zedeck · 01-03-2007, 11:02 PM

Hi Johanesa,

I think tariqzia's guide is a perfect guide for you. You just need to have the right kernel 2.6.xx, which you can get from www.kernel.org.

Regards,
Elie Zedeck.

johanesa · 01-10-2007, 10:14 AM

Thanks so much Elie and Tariq for your help. I'll try to work on it and see if I succeed.
Blessings
Johanesa

Hi all,

This is Johanesa again,

I decided to use Puppy linux 2.2 on my laptop and I'd like to connect it to my fixed wireless ets2051, procedure and driver download please.
Thanks for your eternal kindness.

Hello,

I try to install the TUSB3410 converter usb serial on Linux 2.6.11.7 and Linux recognize the device but don't attach it to ttyUSB0.

I put the firmware in the path : /etc/hotplug/usb/ti_usb_3410_5052 because we use hotplug.

When i connect it, i have this result:

hub 1-0:1.0: state 5 ports 2 chg 0000 evt 0002

I've tested an other device, the Prolific PL2103 and Linux recognize and attach it to ttyUSB0.

Linux doesn’t find the driver.

Can you help me.

Thanks.

Hi to all,

I try what Tariq Zia said at www.openpages.info for Huawei ETS 2051; I wrote in terminal "dmesg -c ",I see that error ,I follow this steps:
su

password *****

cd /etc/udev/rules.d/

vi 026_ti_usb_3410.rules (Now Paste the following lines in it)

#TI USB 3410
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" ACTION=="add" SYSFS{idVendor}=="0451",SYSFS{idProduct}=="3410" \
SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}=="2" \
SYSFS{bConfigurationValue}=="1" \
RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 2 > /sys%p/device/bConfigurationValue'"

but I Don't know how must "save and exit"; how I save this window with this lines?

P.S. After I copy/paste this lines I close that window (click at X in right corner),I
plug out USB/Serial cable and then plugin, I type "dmesg -c " and I see again that error.It was like this because I don't know save that lines?

ClrScr · 08-09-2007, 04:21 PM

Search for the commands of the vi editor, but to save and exit is SHIFT+Z SHIFT+Z
