Hi,
I have a TP-Link router running 1.8.0 and I am able to successfully connect using either a Sierra Wireless or earlier model Huawei 3G stick.
I am currently trying to test a new Huawei E8372 LTE Wingle without much luck.
After doing some reading I configured rc.local to detect the device using the tips on this page http://www.byza.it/blog/144/%5BHW%5D+Co ... yle+Router
The vendor and product codes for this device are 12d1 14db
The router now gives me the 3G/4G options as expected, however it does not show signal strength on the status page and checking logread and dmesg shows it fails to dial.
Has anyone been able to get a similar device to work?
I am unsure as to what the next trouble shooting steps should be.
The URL I linked above talks about reimaging the USB Wingle but I am not sure if this is required as the router can actually see it.

Re: problem with Huawei 3G/4G LTE USB Wingle
Sorry for the delayed reply. From what I can gather, your modern may be a hilink modem. The version of gargoyleon this site does not play well with hilink modems due to absence of certain packages. Your choices to try are:
1. Rooter firmware
http://ofmodemsandmen.com/downloadsm.html
2. Gargoyle 1.6.2 with added extras
http://dl.eko.one.pl/gargoyle-pl/attitu ... ent/ar71xx
Website in Polish but firmware hasenglish language pack

Re: problem with Huawei 3G/4G LTE USB Wingle
Finally getting a chance to play with this again over the Xmas holidays.
Looking at the activity lights on the Hilink modem, it does dial up and connect to the 3G network. It appears to be in hostless mode already and by default it's IP address is 192.168.8.1
The question is, how do I determine if the gargoyle sees this as a connected Ethernet interface. If it does then it should just be a case of configuring the default route via 192.168.8.1

Re: problem with Huawei 3G/4G LTE USB Wingle
Meanwhile, I've seen The thread that mentions possible Hilink support in 1.9.0
I have reimaged the router and again added the device id echo command to rc.local
The 3G option shows but ifconfig doesnt show an IP address allocated to wlan0
