DIR-825 B1 3g USB modem support

Post by redsox »

Hi,

I have successfully flashed "gargoyle_1.5.10-ar71xx-generic-dir-825-b1-squashfs-factory.bin" but there is no 3g (GSM) option at the pull-down box under Internet/Wan.

Tried on another DIR-825 B1 with same result. May I know if I need to install any additional package? My Huawei E367 usb dongle is not detected with "picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0" command.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Did some testing and found that 3g USB modem packages are not included in 1.5.10 for DIR-825 B1 (check with "opkg list-installed" command)

Further firmware testing found 3g USB modem packages included in 1.5.4 and 1.5.6 but they could not detect the Huawei E367 as USB modem. It is reported as usb1 and usb2 (Mass Storage/ TF Card Storage) instead of ttyUSB0.

Appreciate if 3g USB modem support can be added to the next firmware update for DIR-825 B1, thank you.
