udev-devel in slackware? problem with huawei e1750 3g modem...
hello!
i purchased a huawei e1750 usb 3g modem. i used slackware 12.2 and 13.0 on a home computers. i try to get work e1750 on my computer, but isn't working. i seek over google, and found some instructions on get to work under debian. i see, i need "modem-modeswitch" binary from udev - develop package. i found over a net, and not found this binary for slackware :( maybe anyone can help? udev package on my computers is already installed, but not contain this binary. i search over a net for udev-develop or so for slackware - not found. i get to siurceforge for udev development version, and download latest via svn, and search over it for file modem* or any file who contains text modem-modeswitch , and no one was found :( PS this utility needs for switch e1750 to modem mode. at start its initializes as usb storage / cdrom. in theory, if you done "eject sr0", then device must be switching itself to modem mode, but in practice - not...;( |
This program is called usb_modeswitch, not modem-modeswitch. You need to compile it from source. There is no sbo or slacky package. More, if you successfully compiled it.
|
You can just go to the source for USB_modeswitch:

Yeah, the mode switch is handled in the kernel for supported devices, so either your kernel is too old or your device is too new (or perhaps a combination of both) :) usb_modeswitch would be a handy addition at SlackBuilds.org (hint hint) :-)
|
try.
usb_modeswitch not contain any binary - only a rules for / etc. as so - nothing new, problem stays. kernel is 2.6.28.8 try to download and compile latest kernel... |
What? Of course there is no binary data. Because that, i wrote you have to compile! Did you read the README file? Be more proactive please or explain the problem more detailed.
|
a very big thanks.
after download, unzip http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modes...-1.0.7.tar.bz2 and "make integrated_install" all is ok - shortly after plug-in e1750 lsusb says, it is switched to modem mode -id changes from 1446 to 1001 and string E620 USB modem appears. i try to ls /dev/tty* and ttU* and not find any USB0 or so devices. maybe previous time, when i compile kernel, i do not compile usbserial...? try to recompile latest kernel and looking forward, thanks again ;) |
hm, configure the kppp ( kppprc), starting - and kppp hangs at "starting pppd". :-O
comgt se the modem and all other is ok. found, from user cannot run pppd - change chmod for /usr/sbin/pppd to 4755, now /usr/sbin/pppd runs from user, but kppp still stuck on "starting pppd"...;\ |
Please try /dev/tty/HS*. You do not need to configure pppd. It looks like you have no real idea what you are doing, so please be careful :) It should be enough, if you add your user to dialup and uucp groups. I use wvdial instead of kppp so i can't help you with that, but that does not mean, kppp does not work. It was just easier to configure wvdial.

i looking throught /etc/groups, add my user to "uucp" and "dialout" groups. cannot find "dialup". look for wvdial, but in distro its not include, and i too lazy for find and install it ;) on other hand, previosulsy i set up huawei e630 pcmcia modem via kppp, and all works. thats be a some years ago, but... i try to combat "starting pppd" problem... |
