Hi,

I want to connect my EEE PC to german provider eplus via the 3G/UMTS-USB-Stick Huawei E169.

I have managed to get the pre-installed Xandros detecting the stick duely. However, as soon as I want to connect using the tool wvdial, wvdial gives back the following:

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56
--> 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
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: *99***1#
--> Waiting for carrier.
--> Timed out while dialing. Trying again.
--> Sending: *99***1#
--> Waiting for carrier.
--> Timed out while dialing. Trying again.
--> Sending: *99***1#
--> Waiting for carrier.
--> Timed out while dialing. Trying again.

It seems the stick is initialized correctly but for some reason the carrier doesn't respond.

This is my wvdial.conf:

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
#Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.eplus.de"
#Carrier Check = no
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99***1#
Password = gprs
Username = eplus
Dial Command =
#Auto DNS = 1

Can somebody please help?

Regards,

Allister

I have a similar problem with Vodaphone 3G fusion card.

The wvdial.conf is:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 =
Init3 =
Area Code =
Phone = *99#
Username = eplus
Password = gprs
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Force Address =
Idle Seconds = 300
DialMessage1 =
DialMessage2 =
ISDN = 0
Auto DNS = 1

If anybody has some hints - I'd appreciate

Hello Folks,

don't know if you still have your problem but in case it helps anybody, I just had the same thing myself. In my case the "Invalid dial code" was because the modem actually was waiting for the PIN code of the phone card. I solved it by firing up the manager program on Windows and deactivating the PIN.

Perhaps it's also possible to pass the PIN as an init string.

Hope that helps
Mike

And you need the "Dial Command = ATDT" as in the second posting!

You can find a working configuration here:

[- Stupid rule about posing URL -]

Short Englisch version:

/etc/wvdial.conf

4 Modem Type = USB Modem
5 Baud = 460800
6 New PPPD = yes
7 Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
8 ISDN = 0
9
10 [Dialer umts-pin]
11 Init3 = AT+CPIN=xxxx <= replace with your PIN here!!!
12
13 [Dialer umts]
14 Dial Command = ATD
15 Carrier Check = no
16 Phone = *99***1#
17 Password = egal <== provider dependend

19 Stupid Mode = 1
20 Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.vodafone.de" <== replace with your provider APN
