Huawei EC226 USB Modem [RESOLVED]

I just purchased the Aspire One with Linpus. After downloading all updates the Huawei Mobile Partner was installed. However, when connecting the Huawei USB modem EC226 and entering the details in Mobile Partner the connection fails with the following error: "The SIM card cannot be detected or is invalid"
In Namibia only the Huawei EC226 is distributed by Telecom. I suspect that there are no Linux drivers for the modem installed. How can I make this modem work? You suggestions are much appreciated. It works perfectly well under Windows.

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

What is the output of the command

lsusb

?

[ To give command: open a terminal with the keys alt+F2 ]

 

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

Tried to enter the command to run in terminal - but no response only that the window closes

 

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

I think the trick is to open the terminal first, you get this little menu with alt-f2, tick the 'run in terminal' checkbox and then click the 'run' button. Terminal opens and will stay open until you close the window ( or give the command 'exit' ).

Once you are able to give commands you can also look at the last lines of the output of the command

dmesg

after plugging in your modem. This might give some clues.

Hi Japer and thanks for your reply. Following are the results which certainly are Greek to me. Would much appreciate if you could help:

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

Most of it is greek to me too. But near the end you see:

So that looks very healthy! It means that the modem is recognised by the system and that the proper module ('driver') is loaded.
The module creates the 'device nodes' /dev/ttyUSB0 .. 2 so that higher level software can communicate with the modem.

Unfortunately my knowledge is limited to the lower level. Also I don't own an Aspire One, ( I just had to make one working for a neighbour in the past ) so I cannot test anything.

Apart from trying again with Mobile Partner I suggest you try to use 'wvdial' ( it is installed ).

--Japser.

 

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

Hi Jasper,
Thanks for your speedy reply. I did try wvdial and received the followig response:
[user@localhost home]$ wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: Device or resource busy
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: Device or resource busy
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: Device or resource busy
[user@localhost home]$

Any other suggestions?

Cheers for now
Klaus

 

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

That is not greek!

I think it means Mobile Partner is still trying to use it.
Can you stop that program ?

 

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

Rebooted and had modem connected and still get the same response on wvdial.
Tried with modem attached same story.

 

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

meant to say "disconnected"

I was on the Huawei web site and there it says the EC226 only supports WinXP, Vista and Win2000. Could that be the problem or should the Mobile Partner version for Linpus sort out that problem?

 

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

Please try

sudo wvdial

( explanation: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=198724 )

If that is better,

sudo wvdialconf

could be the next step

Is that not true for all those modems ?

 

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

Also it may be necessary to create the directory /var/lock

sudo mkdir /var/lock

( IIRC In Linpus /var is a filesystem in memory, so it is empty on boot )

 

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

I really appreciate all your assistance. I followed your suggestions and the following was the response and still the modem returns the SIM Card error:

[user@localhost home]$ sudo wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

I am surprised about the change in the name: "ttyUSB_utps_modem".
But I don't think it matters what it is called.
Is it consistent with the last lines of 'dmesg' ?
( please don't post all of it again )

I think you should try to edit /etc/wvdial.conf

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

I would try wvdialconf once more.

My basic understanding is:

---- low level: modem is inserted, recognised, module is loaded, nodes in /dev are created.

---- high level: software like wvdial or mobile partner can now 'talk to the modem', like telling it to dial etc.

In your case the low level seems to be fine, exept that I find this change in name confusing.
To see what you have in /dev :

ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*

Note that /dev is 'dynamic': it can change.

 

Re: Huawei EC226 USB Modem

As you suggested, I ran the 2 commands. I also noticed that the modem is a locked modem meaning it has no SIM card. Could it be that the Mobile Partner program has a problem with that?
