Huawei e169 USB UMTS GPRS Modem

I have the Huawei e169 USB UMTS Modem and want to make it work under Opensolaris. In the Opensolaris.org-Forums I found two Threads [1, 2] about this Topic (just with other Hardware).
Problem with this Device is: If you plug it in, it first shows up as a Storage Device (wich contains the Driver-Software for WinXP). But if you connect it before you start your Engine, there's no Problem.
Before you can use the Modem, you have to associate it with the driver "usbsacm":

host:# update_drv -a -i 'usb12d1,1001' usbsacm
//NOTE: This is for the e169 ONLY, you have to
// replace the bold Numbers with those appropiate
// for your device
host:# devfsadm

You can test it easily with:

host:$ tip /dev/term/1
OK // output from tip
ati // input from you
Vendor-and-Product-Stuff // output from tip

Before you can dial-in, you have to create (or copy) several files located under /etc/ppp and /etc/ppp/peers. You can copy the isp-chat and the isp-Script from [1] and change it to your needs (dial-in-number, username, password, accesspoint; replace isp with the name of your Internet Service Provider).
If you have a Multiprocessor-System, then you have to disable all Cores except one. Otherwise the Connection will drop, when you start browsing the Internet with Firefox (BUG: 6719062)!

host:# psrinfo
// returns the cpus
host:# psradm -f
// this disables the cpu with that number
// with psradm -n you can enable the cpu

Now you can dial in:

host:$ pfexec pppd debug call isp

Right now, I am writing this with Opensolaris running.

i try your guide on opensolaris 2008.11 with result NO CARRIER

Guido Luetke Woestmann hat gesagt…

Hmmm, have you tried to connect to the Modem with the "tip"-Command? e.g:

host:$ tip /dev/term/1 (or 0)
OK // output from tip
ati // type this to get some Information

If this works, I think there is a Problem with your Dial-Skript. Also note that you have to connect the Device BEFORE booting, otherwise it shows up as Storage-Device.

Hmmm, I think there could be three "Errors":

1. In your Chat-Skript (/etc/ppp/chat-tselnet) check this Line:

'OK' 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"'

for the right Settings for your Provider. I have to use "internet.providername.de"

2. Also in your Chat-Skript: Check the Dial-In-Number (*99#)

'OK' 'ATDT*99#'

Maybe you can check these Settings in the Software you have to use under Windows.

3. Create the following Files:

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets is apparently empty
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets is apparently empty

I had to set Name, Password and Providername in pap-secrets. There is a Template with some more Information under /etc/ppp/*

i don't have idea how to connect opensolaris 2008.11 with e169 usb stick

Guido Luetke Woestmann hat gesagt…

I also used the kanguru-Scripts as a Starting Point ;-) But if I compare my Chat-Script with yours, I see a Difference:

//yours:
OK "ATM1L3DT*99#"

//mine:
OK 'ATD*99#'

HTH

PS: LCP is the Link Control Protocol. It is used to set up a PPP-Connection. Good News is, that your Modem "generally" works. I think your Problem is related to your PPP-Scripts.
