WWAN not getting enabled
Hello all
I am trying to configure my mobile broadband, airtel 3G dongle. I am using Network Manager 0.9.4 version which is default installation in slackware 14.0. I am following the steps provided in the website below: http://www.unixwerk.eu/linux/slack/vodafone.html Now the problem is, when I am doing Quote:
And another problem is that I have added the connection but when I do Quote:
Anyone having idea how to resolve this thing??? Should I upgrade my slackware 14.0 to slackware-current???? Thanks in advance. [EDIT] PS: WWAN hardware is enabled. I have restarted my system many times also. |
Does the dongle show up when you run lsusb?
Are the correct kernel modules loaded? Could you post the output of lsmod? |

I used wvdialconf and it did detected the datacard and showed in its wvdial.conf file at /dev/ttyUSB1. The only reason I am not able to run through wvdial because for PAP authentication it asks for username/password. And with this datacard, there is no username or password. So, everytime I try to connect it shows error for username/password. :( What next??? And one more thing I would like to know. Soon I will be getting airtel 4G datacard. So in that case network manager and modem manager needs to be updated as network manager version 0.9.4 does not support 4G. So should i update my slack to current or just update the related packages??? Thanks |

I think if my WWAN gets enabled then I will be able to connect with the help of Network Manager. Any idea how I can achieve that?? I have already mention that I tried by doing Quote:

I'm afraid I'm not at all familiar with NetworkManager, and I don't know what's supposed to happen when you "enable" an interface from nmcli.

As Pat stated, you need to have a configured connection in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections.
Example: Code:

I did setup the interface with Network Manager and can be seen with Quote:

Hello All
I have upgraded my slackware 14.0 to slackware-current but still I am unable to enable my WWAN. I did Quote:
I could have used KPPP but the problem is that there is no username password with my mobile broadband, airtel 3G dongle. Am I skipping something??? Any changes in config files in order to make it working??? Please help. Thanks |
Did you install network-manager-applet? Also, networkmanager and applet is at 0.9.8
Once nm-applet is installed, you can click on it on the panel and it will give you better control over things. I'm connected to an ATT aircard 770S, so I guess it's similar to what you have (remember, just guessing) and it's working within reason. The aircard is in the office (with an antenna to get a better signal way out here in the woods, which brought it up to three bars from two - it's a 4g device IIRR), and a TP-Link TL-WN821N Wireless N USB Adapter. Is your setup similar? |
Try to activate the connection (nmcli con up uuid ...) regardless the wwan state. Because mine, it still can be connected while nm-tool reports wwan is disabled.
Here is the interesting part: Code:

Hello All
Now the NetworkManager is able to detect my 3G mobile broadband. But still I am not able to connect. Every time I try to connect, it fails. This is the message log: Quote:
