Gargoyle Forum

Hi all,

I currently have a AP121U (also known as a Hornet-UB) router and I wish to turn it into 3G router for WAN. I currently have a AWS ISP provider which provided me a Alcatel X500U USB stick. I checked out the stick on my laptop and works perfectly.

However, I connected to my router and I see it blinking (roughly every second) a green led light. When I checked out the dmesg (near the end), I get was this:
[ 50.530000] device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
[ 51.170000] eth0: link up (1000Mbps/Full duplex)

I do not see the ttyUSB# at all in the /dev folder. Could someone help me out? I am also using gargoyle 1.6.2 but if it requires me to upgrade to 1.7.1 please let me know.

Looks like that U500X stick is too new.

I don't find any mention of it searching OpenWRT.

Has to have OpenWRT support before Gargoyle will support it.

May have to wait a while before it gets supported or if you are skilled
enough, you might be able to hack your own driver into OpenWRT.
