3g support

[Cezary]

Hi Eric,

I made initial support for 3G connection - modem usb as wan. Patch for current rev, reguired additional packages - chat, comgt, usb-modeswitch, libusb, usb-modeswitch-data, kmod-usb-serial and kmod-usb-serial-option. Works with popular Huawei modems, should also working with another one supported by openwrt.

Some modem need switch from usb_storage to modem; so sometimes needs hack to start 3g connection after restart:

Code: Select all

D=$(uci -q get network.wan.device)
A=$(uci -q get network.wan.proto)
[ -e $D -a "$A" == "3g" ] && ifup wan
exit 0

in /etc/rc.local.

Tested on Huawei E170. Screenshot attached.

That is clever. Nice solution to turn the Gargoyle router into a cellular data modem connected hotspot while making sure you don't exceed your monthly cap.

Any pointers in trying to make this work with other USB data modems? Thanks.

Any modem/phone supported by usb-serial-option or usb-serial-sierrawireless.

This is great. I'll try to test this and get it integrated into the experimental branch within the next week or two.

Some changes - predefined list of operators / apn / passwords from a file, with custom options.

Hi all

I'm trying to install a 3g modem (ZTE MF636) on a routerstation Pro.

I've installed 1.3.9 AR71xx but it appears that the patch is still not installed?

Are there any how-to's on installing the patch to 1.3.9?

Thanks guys

Like this maybe

Yes, build gargoyle and add these patch.

Yes, build gargoyle and add these patch.

I've made a gargoyle buildroot

Then added your 3g patch to the "patches-generic" folder

then run

"make"

But your patch was not added?

I think I need to do something else?

Thanks
