Question #35013 on wvdial in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wvdial/+question/35013
Description changed to: I'd like to connect to the Internet with a Huawei E220 HDSPA USB stick using the German carrier eplus. There are a number of people who apparently get this stick to work, for the life of me, I can't. I have read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Huawei/E220 but I still have problems. I think the modem is detected fine in my hardy installation $ lsusb Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 019: ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 The "default" and "stick" entry in /etc/wvdial.conf look like this [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 460800 New PPPD = yes Stupid Mode = 1 Dial Command = ATDT [Dialer stick] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.eplus.de" ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem New PPPD = yes Password = gprs Phone = *99# Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Username = eplus Dial Attempts = 1 Baud = 460800 But "sudo wvdial stick" fails with "Bad init string" which is strange because the AT+CGDCONT line on which wvdial.conf fails seems exactly like those found all over the internet. --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.eplus.de" AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.eplus.de" ERROR --> Bad init string. --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.eplus.de" AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.eplus.de" ERROR --> Bad init string. --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.eplus.de" AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.eplus.de" ERROR --> Bad init string. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
