How to get Bell Canada 3G USB network up?
in [Debian]
|
From: Christian Jaeger on 9 Jul 2010 10:20 Hello I'm trying to get a UMTS/HSPA/HSAP+ usb stick from Bell Canada working with their network. I'm on Lenny, with a 2.6.33.6 kernel compiled from kernel.org. At first I'm "activating" the stick through that usual "mount then eject the flash volume" handling, and reloading the usbserial kernel module manually since it doesn't seem to pick up the change of the product id by itself (wondering why not): #!/bin/bash mount /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Novatel_Mass_Storage_012067000784101-0:0 /mnt/usb-Novatel_Mass_Storage_012067000784101-0:0 || exit 1 umount /mnt/usb-Novatel_Mass_Storage_012067000784101-0:0 eject /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Novatel_Mass_Storage_012067000784101-0:0 ( while true; do sleep 0.5 if lsusb |grep -q 1410:7030; then exit fi done ) rmmod option rmmod usbserial sleep 0.1 modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1410 product=0x7030 modprobe option BTW loading the "option" module leads to a message 'option: v0.7.2:USB Driver for GSM modems', but interestingly /dev/ttyUSB0 already exists with only usbserial loaded and I wonder what the kernel should be doing apart from handling that tty? The "real" stuff is being done by pppd in userspace, right? So what does "option" do? /etc/ppp/peers/bell3g: # This optionfile was generated by pppconfig 2.3.18. # # hide-password noauth noccp connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/bell3g" debug /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 defaultroute noipdefault user replace_with_your_login_name remotename bell3g ipparam bell3g usepeerdns I've added the line with noccp in the above file, following a suggestion from https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-January/133699.html, which seems to have eliminated a "pppd[18364]: Protocol-Reject for 'Compression Control Protocol' (0x80fd) received" error. /etc/chatscripts/bell3g: # This chatfile was generated by pppconfig 2.3.18. # Please do not delete any of the comments.

Also wondering about this user stuff, I didn't get any information from Bell about user/password, maybe there is none (SIM card being enough authentification)? Would I have to eliminate that somehow?
