Huawei E160 Mobile Broadband Modem [Solved]

[mikefox7]

Hello, please help me someone!

After a fresh sabayon 5.3-amd64 gnome install, my huawei e160 perfectly connects to the internet.
Then, after upgrading all to the actual versions, it's impossible to connect via mobile broadband again.
Maybe the failure is because of the ppp-update, which has been played in then?!

I simply do not know what to change, that my huawei would connect again.

Do yuo get any error messages? Try the following command as root user in a Konsole/Terminal window without the modem plugged in:

Code: Select all

dmesg

and then plug in the modem and repeat the above command and post here the new stuff at the end.

Also have a look in the lof file /var/log/messages and see if there are any error messages in there from the date/time when you started seeing the problem. Post any error messages here too.

Also post the output from the following commands entered as the root user:

Code: Select all

lspci
lsusb -v
lsmod
uname -a

I hope this leads to a solution of the problem, thanks in advance again, regards mikefox7

[Fitzcarraldo]

Please use the Code button around console output, otherwise lengthy pasted output requires a lot of scrolling up and down a page. Also, please strip out blank lines between individual lines so that it looks like it did on the console (I used Word 2007 and replaced ^p^p with ^p in your post). Anyway, now it is readable.

I cannot see any errors in what you have posted. Please have a look in the file /var/log/messages for messages around the date and time that the problem started, and post the error messages here. Also, how is the modem configured in NetworkManager? Into which fields have you entered values, and which boxes are ticked? I set mine up as follows for another network: Qtel mobile broadband HUAWEI E220 USB modem [Solved] (the lsusb output you posted shows your modem as "idProduct 0x1003 E220 HSDPA Modem / E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem", so perhaps the setup is similar to the E220 that I use).

It's a very long shot, but perform the edit in the following post too: Re: Set up system time.

[mikefox7]

Here is the end of the file "messages" after plugging in the modem and a new try to connect:

When I try to connect with the huawei modem, I do not get any explicit error messages, it simply does not connect!

Regarding Networkmanager: the only thing I changed was to put in the right apn (in my case "webmobil1"), pin query is deactivated. All other entries were being unchanged and this works fine in other linux distros, e.g. ubuntu, fedora or opensuse.

Please use the Code button around console output

I've fixed your latest post to include the 'Code' BBCode (see the Code button at the top of the box where you type your post).

Looking through the output from your /var/log/messages file, you can clearly see that there is a problem. It looks like the problem starts at the following point:

Code: Select all

Sep 25 19:03:26 localhost pppd[9843]: Plugin  /usr/lib64/pppd/2.4.4/nm-pppd-plugin.so is for pppd version 2.4.4, this is 2.4.5

A little googling shows that this is a bug in net-misc/networkmanager-0.8-r1, the latest version of NetworkManager in the Entropy repository.

You need to do two things:

1. To get you going for now, install the latest version of the package (net-misc/networkmanager-0.8-r6) via the Portage package manager, as root user in a Konsole/Terminal window:

Code: Select all

emerge --sync
layman -S
emerge -1v networkmanager
equo rescue spmsync

The first command above synchronises your PC with the Portage 'main tree' repository of ebuilds (scripts for compiling and installing source packages).
The second command above synchronises your PC with the Sabayon overlay repository of ebuilds.
The third command above merges (installs) the package.
The fourth command above is to tell Entropy what you did via Portage.

2. File a bug report (see the link 'Bugs' at the top right of this screen) requesting that the current NetworkManager package in the Entropy repository be bumped to the latest version in Portage in order to fix a bug. Refer in your bug report to Gentoo Bugzilla Bug Report No. 330665. This should hopefully trigger joost to build networkmanager-0.8-r6 and put it in the Entropy repository.

may be

Code: Select all

equo install usb_modeswitch

Hello Fitzcarraldo, your effort solved the problem I had! You're great, thanks a lot!
I did as you wrote and filed a bug report - it was the first time for me - and I hope I did it right.

[Fitzcarraldo]

You're welcome. Glad it's working again.

When your problem is solved, please mark your threads as solved. To do this click on the EDIT button in the first post and append " [Solved]" to the Subject text. Thanks. Why, and how to add "[Solved]" to your post. Please read. I'll do it for you this time.

I'll move this thread to the Networking and Wireless shed (forum), as that is the more appropriate place for it.

Hey Fitzcarraldo,

You are one awesome dude!

I just had a similar problem, and after updating networkmanager as per your instructions and rebooting, everything worked fine. Just wanted to say thanks!

Mine is Reliance Netconnect, with HUAWEI EC168C modem.

Thanks,
Magesha

EDIT: In two minds if I should make a new thread saying what my problem was and how I solved it, and marking it [SOLVED] for reference. Someone pls let me know if that's appropriate.
