Hi all, I'm trying to find out some information regarding the Sprint U301 3G modem. Our use case for it is that it will be attached to an embedded machine running ubuntu with networkmanager, in addition to our software. I've been trying to get this modem to connect reliably and am having some issues with it. I've added a udev rule so that the usbserial driver is given the correct vendor/product information, and it connects automatically on boot, but not reliably. Some boots it does not connect at all and won't until I reboot. Sometimes it disconnects while the machine is running. If it disconnects either by itself or from deactivating the connection, it will not connect again and needs a reboot. The nm/mm logs say that serial requests are timing out when it's in the non-connected state. I haven't been able to recover from the disconnected state with anything about a reboot.
Is there anything we can do with this device to increase reliability? Failing that, can you recommend a usb Sprint 3G modem that will be more reliable? If there are none, do you have any recommendations for any brand of 3G modem that will work well in this situation? The boxes will be deployed where manual access is not easy, so it needs to be able to connect and recover from disconnections automatically, or at least in a way that can be scripted easily.
