3G Config for /dev/ttyACM devices solved

Post by broloks »

I could not get Gargoyle (1.5.4) to give me a 3G interface for my modem (T-Mobile Web Rocket 2.0), but I finally fixed it and I'm posting here for anyone else that might benefit from my troubles :)

My original post was here http://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/vi ... =11&t=2601

After a lot of flashing between Gargoyle and OpenWRT I realised that Gargoyle can use my 3G modem without any extra packages required. Changing /etc/config/network worked and I got connected but each time I logged into the web interface /etc/config/network got overwritten for my 3G wan connection. Editing /www/basic.sh on line 40 from:

Code: Select all

has_usb_tty=$( ls /dev/ttyUSB* 2>/dev/null )
to

Code: Select all

has_usb_tty=$( ls /dev/ttyACM* 2>/dev/null )
got the web interface to pick up my modem, and then I could change the settings there and it would be persistent.

Also had an issue with disconnects the whole time, so I added

Code: Select all

noipdefault
to /etc/ppp/options, now pppd will not send my router's address to my ISP, don't know exactly why but it works.

Hope this helps

I can't get working Pantech UM185US (CDMA) with Gargoyle 1.5.4 on linksys wrt160nl. I changed /www/basic.sh, got open settings for 3G but selected option UMTS/CDMA in the menu Service disappears after saving.
This modem works fine with Openwrt just after installation of required packages (those are included in Gargoyle 1.5.4).
