Connect to Huawei E355 Router via USB interface
without any kernel hacking and without network-manager
The following workaround is tested with
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and Linux kernel 3.13.0-35-generic
simple workaround on command line (e.g. with gnome-terminal)
============================================================
1.) Get root access via command
sudo su -
2.) Append the following two lines to file /etc/network/interfaces
auto wwan0
iface wwan0 inet dhcp
3.) Disable all Internet connections via network-manager
(i.e. disable or remove WLAN connections to the Internet)
The network-manager should not start any Internet connections after reboot.
4.) Restart networking with the following commands or reboot
(for details see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1301015 )
ifdown --exclude=lo -a && ifup --exclude=lo -a
5.) Show status: IP address is shown in second line with the following command
ifconfig wwan0
6.) Check internet connection
ping www.ubuntu.com
Note:
After reboot, the router is automatically connected.
An additional local connection managed by network-manager did not interfere
with this wwan0 configuration.
