Sierra Wireless AirPrime MC8705 barrier break v1.8.1

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can guide me to some where. I have tried to ask on the Sierra forum but no one is responding to my question. I have MC8705 run on my v1.8.1 barrier break, which i checkout from the git and build the kernel. I have build the kernel and run on my router and i can confirm MC8705 is connected properly.
My problem is how do i start the 3g connection? which device i should go to? My predecessor did build a kernel and has made the connection via /dev/3gmodem. How can i make the /dev/3gmodem, so i can connection via the /etc/config/network?

It may not be a supported type of USB modem by Gargoyle.
If it is, it would show up in the GUI at Connection -> Basic.
If it is not supported, we can’t help you set it up, you might try the Openwrt forums for more assistance. However running an older kernel like that is going to make it difficult to get any assistance.

Hi Lantis,
Thanks. I have moved to CC and build the kernel (i think running OK.) but i still struggling to get 3g connection running.
On the webpage, under Connection->Basic->Internet/WAN. I have selected :Connection via:->USB Modem(ppp) and i have clicked "Scan" button next to the "Device" option. it does show "/dev/ttyUSB0". I have entered all the credentials for the SIM.
Here is the my /etc/config/network file
Code: Select all

I think i have include the driver for Sierra driver. Did i do it correctly? why i still couldn't see 3g modem under /dev/ (as i'm expecting it's shows as /dev/3gmodem?
many thanks.

This is out of my area of expertise to be honest with you.
Which drivers did you include?

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I have clean everything and build from scratch to eliminate my play around with the configuration (make menuconfig).
Should i use /dev/ttyUSB3 or /dev/ttyUSB0? I am actually expecting something like /dev/3g-wan (or /dev/3gmodem) appear on my kernel so i can choose on the webpage and make the connection (or configure it in the /etc/config/network.
I am bit stuck here. This is my first time build kernel from scratch and i have feeling i need to load the driver so the kernel will show the device in the /dev/ (correct me if i'm wrong). but i have no clue how to do it over here.

i see. This is not one of my thing either!
A big learning curve to me.
I am trying all my luck by include all of the drivers as much i can but these few drivers definitely included in the configuration:
- kmod-usb-serial-sierrawireless....... Support for Sierra Wireless devices
- kmod-usb-serial..................... Support for USB-to-Serial converters
