Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

My HSDPA USB Modem is the MF628 from ZTE.
I installed the alpha 5 of ubuntu intrepid, which uses the kernel 2.6.27 where the modem driver is included. But with the Network-manager(version 0.7) I can't connect this modem.

Some more information:

=================================================================

The modem works if I connect manually
First I used this command: "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x0015"

With "sudo chat -s -f probe.txt >/dev/ttyUSB0 </dev/ttyUSB0" I receive:
chat: Sep 13 17:17:31 +GCAP: +CGSM,+DS,+ES
chat: Sep 13 17:17:31 +COPS: 0,0,"Connect Austria",2
chat: Sep 13 17:17:31 +CREG: 0,1

Then I want to connect with vwdialrc:
So I first had to create the file ".wvdialrc" in the home directory:

[Dialer cellular]

# This configuration should work for most cellular modems and
# USB or bluetooth connected mobile phones.

# Your modem device. Usually /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0
# Bluetooth devices use an rfcomm device (/dev/rfcomm0, etc) that must be set
# up first.
#
#Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
#Modem = /dev/rfcomm0
#Modem = /dev/ttyACM0

# Port speeds that're worth testing:
# 921600
# 460800
# 115200
# 57600
Baud = 115200

# If your SIM card has a PIN, comment this line, uncomment the next one, and
# change the PIN shown to your PIN.
Init = ATZ
# Init = ATZ+CPIN="0000"

# If you know your ISP's APN, specify it instead of YOUR_ISP_APN below.
# If you don't, you may be able to find out on the 'net, or from tech
# support.
#
# There's also an APN table at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G .
#
# If you can't find it, you might be able to dial out without setting an APN
# (especially from a mobile phone). Just comment this line and uncomment
# the next one.
Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.yesss.at"
#Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP"

# Most services/devices dial with *99# . A few seem to require *99***1#
Phone = *99#

# These often suffice, but your ISP might require different details. They're
# often dummy details used for all users on the ISP, frequently the ISP's
# name, but some ISP's do require you to use a real username and password.
Username = dummy
Password = dummy

=================================

Then I can connect to the internet with the command: "sudo wvdial cellular":

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
OK
--> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP"

I'm having the same issue with a similar model Onda device. I'm going to attempt the kernel rebuild to see if that does work. If yes, I will return and confirm this patch works for the MT503HS modem as well.

I could not get the patch to work, neither did the guides online that suggest a manual unload of module usb-storage and a maual reload of usb-serial. This is not resolved in Jaunty 9.04 alpha as of the nighly build of 5 Dec. Testing with the live version of that distro, I expereienced the same failure. I found some online references to module "ZeroCD" that might be at fault for not letting this work by default.

 I also see reports the Onda MT603HS working under 7.04/7.10 but not after 8.04. There is a driver provided by the vendor that fails to build due to changes in some usb driver header in the kernel.

Link to the download of the Onda Driver:
http://www.ondacommunication.com/site/index.php?page=shop.getfile&file_id=193&product_id=99&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=21

I will try to relate a bug report that was made for the Onda against network manager for reference. The behavior of the ZTE seems to be the same.

Now, the kernel ignores the modem as usb-storage.

$ uname -a

these are the steps I followed:
1- downloaded last version of usb_modeswitch and installed it (from source)
2- edited usb_modeswitch.conf and uncommented the part that starts at:
  ZTE MF628+ (tested version from Telia / Sweden)
and ends at:
  MessageContent="5553424312345678000000000000061b000000030000000000000000000000"
3- edit or create /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/20-zte-mf626.fdi (I attached the file)
4- plug the modem, wait a few seconds and run:
 sudo /usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -W -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
5- wait a few seconds more and run:
 sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x0031

After that network manager identifies it and offers the connection option to Claro. No matter what I try, I can't connect but if I leave the modem plugged and restart the computer, I can connect normally to my service provider (although I had to change some if the data network manager brings by default).
It's not really my primary connection (just use it whenever I'm on travel visiting family) so I really didn't try to debug the whole process or automate it but the mentioned steps worked for me.
This[1] the original thread I followed to make it work (in spanish).
Hope it helps.

Poor translation:

Last relase of ubuntu can not run any type of GSM modem I do not understand what the problem is because nelleprecedenti relase everything worked great ... The modem I use is a WAVE HS MT 503, I tried with that of OLIVETTI (it's mobile operator) and nothing ...
it is as if the driver does not load at startup, then you can know why I always put the modem before booting the PC would not recognize him? Ubuntu USB modem and GSM-sin do not go quite agree!

The upstream bug is fixed now. Can you check if this bug still appears in Ubuntu 10.04 beta (Lucid Lynx)?

I am using the onda MT503HS. I can tell you that the device is recognized as a modem device, module usbserial is initialized and 5 ttyusb ports 0-4 are enumerated. dmesh also shows "option: v0.7.2:USB Driver for GSM modems" just after the ttyusb port creation. The issue to be very clear is that after this has occured, gnome-network-manager does not see the device or offer a method to create a 3G network connection (via edit->connections).

I am running 10.04 Beta, I have just run the updates for all, rebooted, and tried again to insert the device and try to create a 3G network connection. Network-manager now sees the device. It isn't connecting, but I don't see logs or error codes so i don't know why, but it does seem to recognize and use the device.

Could you tell me where to find connection error logs to make sure it's not device related?

AFAIK this has been fixed for a long long while. The code paths to deal with modems isn't even the same at all anymore, so regardless any issues with the ZTE MF627/MF628 should be tackled in a new bug report.

I'll close this one as Fix Released since that's also how the upstream bug report was closed. Thanks!

Changed in network-manager (Ubuntu):
status: Confirmed → Fix Released
