Huawei E153U1 not seen on Gargoyle firmwares

Post by scud-xx »

Hello everybody!

I just flashed my TP-Link TL-MR3420 with Gargoyle 1.5.8 (updated from Gargoyle 1.5.4) and cannot seen 3G option in "Connect via" when I insert my Huawei E153u-1 3G modem.

Previous version of Gargoyle also didn't show this option.

Also i installed via SSH picocom package and it tells that nothing connected into USB but modem inserted, it's LED flashes and "3g" led on router also turned into green.

:?: So i'm little bit confused and start to think - is my modem model supported by Gargoyle firmwares? And if yes - how can I setup connection via 3G modem?

Thanks to all in advance

Gargoyle supports USB modems on routers with at least 8MB of Flash and 32MB of RAM.

Your router has insufficient Flash memory to support this function (only 4MB).

You must select another router if you wish to use your 3G modem with Gargoyle.
Linksys WRT1900ACv2
Netgear WNDR3700v2
TP Link 1043ND v3
TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1

I have a TP-Link WR842ND, this has a flash of 8MB and mem of 32 MB.
On this router my Huawei isn't recognized either.
However it is recognized by DD-WRT (build from months ago and the test builds).
So what's your insight on that Pbix? :?
Cheers!
