3G not working on TL-WR1043N

Hi,
I want to use my ZTE UMTS USB Stick with the TL-WR1043N. The 3G (GSM) option is not available in the connection menu.
Like said in this manual:
http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/doku.php?id=3g I did
in the console.
But when I try
I get
Code: Select all
FATAL: cannot open /dev/ttyUSB2: No such file or directory
says
Code: Select all
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 2
usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-platform
scsi1 : usb-storage 1-1:1.3
scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ZTE MMC Storage 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk
Why can't gargoyle find the device?

ZTE modems
ZTE USB modems by default support self-installation and auto-run functionality. This is a problem with linux devices and needs to be disabled.

If you
and you find that modeswitch has successfully switched to the target Vendor/Product ID eg,
because I already had
Code: Select all
cat /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1446
# Huawei, newer modems
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProductList="1001,1406,140b,140c,1412,141b,1432,1433,1436,14ac,1506,1511"
MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000"
then it COULD be because kmod-usb-serial-option and kmod-usb-serial-wwan are not installed.
Do
Code: Select all
opkg install kmod-usb-serial-option
If it refuses to install try
Code: Select all
opkg --force-depends install kmod-usb-serial-option
You should get:
Code: Select all
opkg list-installed | grep kmod-usb
kmod-usb-acm - 3.3.8-1
kmod-usb-core - 3.3.8-1
kmod-usb-ohci - 3.3.8-1
kmod-usb-printer - 3.3.8-1
kmod-usb-serial - 3.3.8-1
kmod-usb-serial-option - 3.3.8-1
kmod-usb-serial-wwan - 3.3.8-1
kmod-usb-storage - 3.3.8-1
kmod-usb-storage-extras - 3.3.8-1
kmod-usb2 - 3.3.8-1
.
After this, ttyUSB[0,1,2] came up for me in 1.5.9. I dont know why its been left out but Im happy it works for me. YMMV.

Hi!
My first try at running Gargoyle (and quite noob at all things Linux
) so please go easy on me...
Status quo:
- two routers TP-Link TL-WR1043ND (ver 1.7 and 1.8)
- OS Gargoyle 1.5.11
- USB modem HUAWEI E3131
Problem: modem not seen by the system; 3g option not shown in WAN list.
A few snippets that I thought could help you help me:

I edited "dmesg | grep -i usb" above to be case insensitive.

http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl- ... .3g.modems
USB 3G Modems
USB 3G modem issue (insufficient power). The device does NOT deliver enough power for most USB 3G modems, which can lead to erratic behavior such as droped/failed connections. If a 3G USB modem is to be used, consider other routers with a USB port that delivers enough Amperes. (e.g. Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H)
