Anyone with Orange 3G+ Internet Everywhere EVDO on Linux?!
Hi guys, Just wanted to find out whether someone managed to get the Orange EVDO modem working under Linux. I tried under Ubuntu 9.10 and am nog getting any carrier response, though I am sure it must be possible (I was able to connect under 9.04 I believe). I am hoping to use the Ubuntu box as an internet gateway for my LAN. Orange's deal of 1 KES per 1Mb seems to be one of the better deals. cheers, -- Mark Upande P.O.

You will sometimes get that response if you havent bought the bundle, or paid cause it cant authenticate your username and password. Alternatively, post your wvdial.conf here; and append the output you get form the terminal when you run wvdial. -- Ndungi Kyalo biblia.kenya.or.ke On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 8:15 AM, Mark de Blois <mark@upande.com> wrote:

Thanks for responding Ndungi, it seems like several serial ports are attached in /var/log/messages, so not sure which to use (ttyUYSB0, 1 or 2). Do you know if I need to use 'Orangefixedplus' and 'Orange' as the username/password combo, or my personal one that came with the RUIM card? On my Mac I use the latter with success :) My latest wvdial.conf looked like this: [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 ISDN = off Modem Type = USB Modem Baud = 460800 Init = ATX0 Phone = #777 Dial Prefix = Dial Attempts = 1 Dial Command = ATM1L3DT Ask Password = off Password = 020xxxx Username = xxxx Auto Reconnect = on Abort on Busy = off Carrier Check = no Check Def Route = on Abort on No Dialtone = on Stupid Mode = on Idle Seconds = 0 Auto DNS = on [Dialer shh] Init3 = ATM0 The response: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATX0 ATX0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATM1L3DT#777 --> Waiting for carrier. ATM1L3DT#777 NO CARRIER --> No Carrier! Trying again. --> Maximum Attempts Exceeded..Aborting!! --> Disconnecting at Mon Jan 25 12:06:16 2010 Thanks for any pointers! cheers, Mark On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 11:43 AM, Ndungi Kyalo <ndungi@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Mark, Username and password are the ones that came with the RUIM card. Am not sure about the line `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` or `Init = ATX0` either. The best bet on these is to plug in your EVDO and then run `wvdialconf`. wvdialconf will generate the correct wvdial.conf; just without your username+password, and the Phone = xxxx parameter. However if `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` and `Init = ATX0` work on mac then noneed to change it. I cannot remember whether it was /dev/ttyUSB0 or 1, but luckily wvdialconf almost always writes a .conf with the correct serial device. You can try switching the `0` with a `1` for a quick test though.. Regards and good luck. -- Ndungi Kyalo biblia.kenya.or.ke On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 9:08 AM, Mark de Blois <mark@upande.com> wrote:

After correct configuration on your wvdial.conf, just run the small bash script above. Remember it does modprobe so pulling it out with pkilling wvdial may bring some issues with your lappy.

Hi Mark,
Username and password are the ones that came with the RUIM card.
Am not sure about the line `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` or `Init = ATX0` either. The best bet on these is to plug in your EVDO and then run `wvdialconf`. wvdialconf will generate the correct wvdial.conf; just without your username+password, and the Phone = xxxx parameter. However if `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` and `Init = ATX0` work on mac then noneed to change it.
I cannot remember whether it was /dev/ttyUSB0 or 1, but luckily wvdialconf almost always writes a .conf with the correct serial device. You can try switching the `0` with a `1` for a quick test though..
Regards and good luck.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to find out whether someone managed to get the Orange EVDO modem working under Linux. I tried under Ubuntu 9.10 and am nog getting any carrier response, though I am sure it must be possible (I was able to connect under 9.04 I believe). I am hoping to use the Ubuntu box as an internet gateway for my LAN. Orange's deal of 1 KES per 1Mb seems to be one of the better deals.

Hi John,
Are you on the EVDO network or perhaps CDMA?! I am getting an invalid dial command with *99#

After correct configuration on your wvdial.conf, just run the small bash script above. Remember it does modprobe so pulling it out with pkilling wvdial may bring some issues with your lappy.

Hi Mark,
Username and password are the ones that came with the RUIM card.
Am not sure about the line `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` or `Init = ATX0` either. The best bet on these is to plug in your EVDO and then run `wvdialconf`. wvdialconf will generate the correct wvdial.conf; just without your username+password, and the Phone = xxxx parameter. However if `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` and `Init = ATX0` work on mac then noneed to change it.
I cannot remember whether it was /dev/ttyUSB0 or 1, but luckily wvdialconf almost always writes a .conf with the correct serial device. You can try switching the `0` with a `1` for a quick test though..
Regards and good luck.

Thanks for responding Ndungi, it seems like several serial ports are attached in /var/log/messages, so not sure which to use (ttyUYSB0, 1 or 2). Do you know if I need to use 'Orangefixedplus' and 'Orange' as the username/password combo, or my personal one that came with the RUIM card? On my Mac I use the latter with success :)
My latest wvdial.conf looked like this:
[Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 ISDN = off Modem Type = USB Modem Baud = 460800 Init = ATX0 Phone = #777
Dial Prefix = Dial Attempts = 1 Dial Command = ATM1L3DT Ask Password = off Password = 020xxxx Username = xxxx Auto Reconnect = on Abort on Busy = off Carrier Check = no Check Def Route = on Abort on No Dialtone = on Stupid Mode = on Idle Seconds = 0 Auto DNS = on [Dialer shh] Init3 = ATM0
The response: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATX0 ATX0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATM1L3DT#777 --> Waiting for carrier. ATM1L3DT#777 NO CARRIER --> No Carrier! Trying again. --> Maximum Attempts Exceeded..Aborting!! --> Disconnecting at Mon Jan 25 12:06:16 2010
Thanks for any pointers!

After correct configuration on your wvdial.conf, just run the small bash script above. Remember it does modprobe so pulling it out with pkilling wvdial may bring some issues with your lappy.

Thanks again Ndungi, Your script was very similar to the one I have, still no luck. Your username seems quite different than mine which is more like a phonenumber (020200xxxx) and my password the pin which came with the RUIM. Am I missing the obvious?! BTW, the blue light seems to blink every 2 seconds, which according to the manual means it is not seeing the network. Every second means network is detected.... cheers, Mark On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 9:51 PM, Ndungi Kyalo <ndungi@gmail.com> wrote:

Are you on the EVDO network or perhaps CDMA?! I am getting an invalid dial command with *99#

After correct configuration on your wvdial.conf, just run the small bash script above. Remember it does modprobe so pulling it out with pkilling wvdial may bring some issues with your lappy.

Hi Mark,
Username and password are the ones that came with the RUIM card.
Am not sure about the line `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` or `Init = ATX0` either. The best bet on these is to plug in your EVDO and then run `wvdialconf`. wvdialconf will generate the correct wvdial.conf; just without your username+password, and the Phone = xxxx parameter. However if `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` and `Init = ATX0` work on mac then noneed to change it.
I cannot remember whether it was /dev/ttyUSB0 or 1, but luckily wvdialconf almost always writes a .conf with the correct serial device. You can try switching the `0` with a `1` for a quick test though..
Regards and good luck.

After correct configuration on your wvdial.conf, just run the small bash script above. Remember it does modprobe so pulling it out with pkilling wvdial may bring some issues with your lappy.

Hi Mark,
Username and password are the ones that came with the RUIM card.
Am not sure about the line `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` or `Init = ATX0` either. The best bet on these is to plug in your EVDO and then run `wvdialconf`. wvdialconf will generate the correct wvdial.conf; just without your username+password, and the Phone = xxxx parameter. However if `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` and `Init = ATX0` work on mac then noneed to change it.
I cannot remember whether it was /dev/ttyUSB0 or 1, but luckily wvdialconf almost always writes a .conf with the correct serial device. You can try switching the `0` with a `1` for a quick test though..
Regards and good luck.

Thanks for responding Ndungi, it seems like several serial ports are attached in /var/log/messages, so not sure which to use (ttyUYSB0, 1 or 2). Do you know if I need to use 'Orangefixedplus' and 'Orange' as the username/password combo, or my personal one that came with the RUIM card? On my Mac I use the latter with success :)
My latest wvdial.conf looked like this:
[Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 ISDN = off Modem Type = USB Modem Baud = 460800 Init = ATX0 Phone = #777
Dial Prefix = Dial Attempts = 1 Dial Command = ATM1L3DT Ask Password = off Password = 020xxxx Username = xxxx Auto Reconnect = on Abort on Busy = off Carrier Check = no Check Def Route = on Abort on No Dialtone = on Stupid Mode = on Idle Seconds = 0 Auto DNS = on [Dialer shh] Init3 = ATM0
The response: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATX0 ATX0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATM1L3DT#777 --> Waiting for carrier. ATM1L3DT#777 NO CARRIER --> No Carrier! Trying again. --> Maximum Attempts Exceeded..Aborting!! --> Disconnecting at Mon Jan 25 12:06:16 2010
Thanks for any pointers!

kindly check your synaptic manager to ensure the drivers for usb port device detection are installed. An 'Auto CDMA modem' should appear on the wireless connections icon.

@ mark and ndungi, before you guys keep on about this, i will mention that i notice you both are talking about two different devices. mark all on about the IEW 3G+ that can switch between a RUIM card and the GSM card. ndungi, on the other hand, is talking about a differently implemented device that basically does the same thing, hence his login name, ( B********@orange.co.ke). mark, you dont login with any such details, do you?

kindly check your synaptic manager to ensure the drivers for usb port device detection are installed. An 'Auto CDMA modem' should appear on the wireless connections icon. Alternatively try :
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EvdoNetworking
Good luck.

Hi techie, Can you confirm you are using the EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A? I presume you are using 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (not 9.4). I had the modem working under 9.04 (at least once), but can't get it to work under Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which seems a bit strange. Dan, to confirm, I don't login (under Windows and Mac) with something@orange.co.ke but with 02020049xx number and 4 digit PIN. Not sure when you require the email combo to be honest. Thanks to everyone helping me get closer (hopefully). cheers, Mark On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 10:40 AM, techi <myskunkworks@gmail.com> wrote:
kindly check your synaptic manager to ensure the drivers for usb port device detection are installed. An 'Auto CDMA modem' should appear on the wireless connections icon. Alternatively try :

Good luck.

I also have a script in /bin, which looks like this,

After correct configuration on your wvdial.conf, just run the small bash script above. Remember it does modprobe so pulling it out with pkilling wvdial may bring some issues with your lappy.

Mark, your'e probably more techie than i am. what i felt i needed to point out, and already have, is that you and ndungi are not using an exact same device. one is older (ndungis) and hence the situations will not necessarily be the same [D.Buria] [254 722 630 560] [254 733 566 340] 2010/1/26 Mark de Blois <mark@upande.com>
Hi techie,
Can you confirm you are using the EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A? I presume you are using 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (not 9.4).
I had the modem working under 9.04 (at least once), but can't get it to work under Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which seems a bit strange.
Dan, to confirm, I don't login (under Windows and Mac) with something@orange.co.ke but with 02020049xx number and 4 digit PIN. Not sure when you require the email combo to be honest.
Thanks to everyone helping me get closer (hopefully).
cheers, Mark

After correct configuration on your wvdial.conf, just run the small bash script above. Remember it does modprobe so pulling it out with pkilling wvdial may bring some issues with your lappy.

Thanks for pointing that out Dan, I think you are right. Though I am not sure which one Ndungi is using. Mine was recently bought and is the one listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G I am not getting the auto CDMA in my NetworkManager if that is what you mean techie. I do have one there from my earlier Bambanet usage, so that one had more luck... I am not sure what to do with the EVDO networking link techie sent, the paths used don't seem to exist on my box, maybe other packages missing?! I have a feeling that this site comes closest, though it just doesn't do it for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090119. Though failing to get a carrier connection still, I guess I will stick with SFC on my Ubuntu box for now. Thanks again to everyone who have chipped in.. cheers, Mark On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 7:37 PM, [dan buria] <dimbega@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi techie,
Can you confirm you are using the EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A? I presume you are using 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (not 9.4).
I had the modem working under 9.04 (at least once), but can't get it to work under Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which seems a bit strange.
Dan, to confirm, I don't login (under Windows and Mac) with something@orange.co.ke but with 02020049xx number and 4 digit PIN. Not sure when you require the email combo to be honest.
Thanks to everyone helping me get closer (hopefully).

yeah, am using EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A. It should work on Ubuntu 9.10 by detecting the device automatically. Have u tried the modem on a different OS? Colud be the modem has an issue. On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 9:39 PM, Mark de Blois <mark@upande.com> wrote:
Thanks for pointing that out Dan, I think you are right. Though I am not sure which one Ndungi is using. Mine was recently bought and is the one listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G
I am not getting the auto CDMA in my NetworkManager if that is what you mean techie. I do have one there from my earlier Bambanet usage, so that one had more luck...
I am not sure what to do with the EVDO networking link techie sent, the paths used don't seem to exist on my box, maybe other packages missing?! I have a feeling that this site comes closest, though it just doesn't do it for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090119. Though failing to get a carrier connection still, I guess I will stick with SFC on my Ubuntu box for now. Thanks again to everyone who have chipped in..
cheers, Mark

Mark, your'e probably more techie than i am. what i felt i needed to point out, and already have, is that you and ndungi are not using an exact same device. one is older (ndungis) and hence the situations will not necessarily be the same

Hi techie,
Can you confirm you are using the EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A? I presume you are using 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (not 9.4).
I had the modem working under 9.04 (at least once), but can't get it to work under Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which seems a bit strange.
Dan, to confirm, I don't login (under Windows and Mac) with something@orange.co.ke but with 02020049xx number and 4 digit PIN. Not sure when you require the email combo to be honest.
Thanks to everyone helping me get closer (hopefully).
cheers, Mark

kindly check your synaptic manager to ensure the drivers for usb port device detection are installed. An 'Auto CDMA modem' should appear on the wireless connections icon. Alternatively try :

Good luck.

That is reassuring at least. Are you on 9.10? It is detected if i do a lsusb for example, and it is assigned to several serial ports in /var/log/messages. So it is a bit frustrating that it isn't connecting. It works a charm in OS X and XP, so the modem/line is fine! cheers, Mark On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 8:09 AM, techi <myskunkworks@gmail.com> wrote:
yeah, am using EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A. It should work on Ubuntu 9.10 by detecting the device automatically.
Have u tried the modem on a different OS? Colud be the modem has an issue.

Thanks for pointing that out Dan, I think you are right. Though I am not sure which one Ndungi is using. Mine was recently bought and is the one listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G
I am not getting the auto CDMA in my NetworkManager if that is what you mean techie. I do have one there from my earlier Bambanet usage, so that one had more luck...
I am not sure what to do with the EVDO networking link techie sent, the paths used don't seem to exist on my box, maybe other packages missing?! I have a feeling that this site comes closest, though it just doesn't do it for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090119. Though failing to get a carrier connection still, I guess I will stick with SFC on my Ubuntu box for now. Thanks again to everyone who have chipped in..
cheers, Mark

Hi techie,
Can you confirm you are using the EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A? I presume you are using 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (not 9.4).
I had the modem working under 9.04 (at least once), but can't get it to work under Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which seems a bit strange.
Dan, to confirm, I don't login (under Windows and Mac) with something@orange.co.ke but with 02020049xx number and 4 digit PIN. Not sure when you require the email combo to be honest.
Thanks to everyone helping me get closer (hopefully).
cheers, Mark

kindly check your synaptic manager to ensure the drivers for usb port device detection are installed. An 'Auto CDMA modem' should appear on the wireless connections icon. Alternatively try :

Good luck.

Was there any success with this? I had done a trick with dual boot; getting the device 'started' on XP then reboot (I did that...), and the modem worked fine. Has anybody used Orange EVDO modem on Ubuntu 10.04? Tried all the wvdial configurations on this thread but getting NO CARRIER all the time :/ Found drivers for UI for this device but not for 64 bit.

That is reassuring at least. Are you on 9.10? It is detected if i do a lsusb for example, and it is assigned to several serial ports in /var/log/messages. So it is a bit frustrating that it isn't connecting. It works a charm in OS X and XP, so the modem/line is fine!
cheers, Mark

yeah, am using EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A. It should work on Ubuntu 9.10 by detecting the device automatically.
Have u tried the modem on a different OS? Colud be the modem has an issue.

Thanks for pointing that out Dan, I think you are right. Though I am not sure which one Ndungi is using. Mine was recently bought and is the one listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G
I am not getting the auto CDMA in my NetworkManager if that is what you mean techie. I do have one there from my earlier Bambanet usage, so that one had more luck...
I am not sure what to do with the EVDO networking link techie sent, the paths used don't seem to exist on my box, maybe other packages missing?! I have a feeling that this site comes closest, though it just doesn't do it for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090119. Though failing to get a carrier connection still, I guess I will stick with SFC on my Ubuntu box for now. Thanks again to everyone who have chipped in..
cheers, Mark

Hi techie,
Can you confirm you are using the EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A? I presume you are using 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (not 9.4).
I had the modem working under 9.04 (at least once), but can't get it to work under Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which seems a bit strange.
Dan, to confirm, I don't login (under Windows and Mac) with something@orange.co.ke but with 02020049xx number and 4 digit PIN. Not sure when you require the email combo to be honest.
Thanks to everyone helping me get closer (hopefully).
cheers, Mark

kindly check your synaptic manager to ensure the drivers for usb port device detection are installed. An 'Auto CDMA modem' should appear on the wireless connections icon. Alternatively try :

Good luck.

Am using my modem on Ubuntu 9.10 using the Gnome-ppp: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/gnome-ppp/download On 10.04, not yet but it should work the same. On Mon, Jul 19, 2010 at 2:25 PM, Samuel Waithaka <samwaithaka@gmail.com>wrote:
Was there any success with this? I had done a trick with dual boot; getting the device 'started' on XP then reboot (I did that...), and the modem worked fine. Has anybody used Orange EVDO modem on Ubuntu 10.04? Tried all the wvdial configurations on this thread but getting NO CARRIER all the time :/
Found drivers for UI for this device but not for 64 bit.

That is reassuring at least. Are you on 9.10? It is detected if i do a lsusb for example, and it is assigned to several serial ports in /var/log/messages. So it is a bit frustrating that it isn't connecting. It works a charm in OS X and XP, so the modem/line is fine!

yeah, am using EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A. It should work on Ubuntu 9.10 by detecting the device automatically.
Have u tried the modem on a different OS? Colud be the modem has an issue.

Thanks for pointing that out Dan, I think you are right. Though I am not sure which one Ndungi is using. Mine was recently bought and is the one listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G
I am not getting the auto CDMA in my NetworkManager if that is what you mean techie. I do have one there from my earlier Bambanet usage, so that one had more luck...
I am not sure what to do with the EVDO networking link techie sent, the paths used don't seem to exist on my box, maybe other packages missing?! I have a feeling that this site comes closest, though it just doesn't do it for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090119. Though failing to get a carrier connection still, I guess I will stick with SFC on my Ubuntu box for now. Thanks again to everyone who have chipped in..

Hi techie,
Can you confirm you are using the EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A? I presume you are using 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (not 9.4).
I had the modem working under 9.04 (at least once), but can't get it to work under Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which seems a bit strange.
Dan, to confirm, I don't login (under Windows and Mac) with something@orange.co.ke but with 02020049xx number and 4 digit PIN. Not sure when you require the email combo to be honest.
Thanks to everyone helping me get closer (hopefully).
cheers, Mark

It is detected if i do a lsusb for example, and it is assigned to several serial ports in / var/log/messages. So it is a bit frustrating that it isn't connecting.

I am not getting the auto CDMA in my NetworkManager if that is what you mean techie. I do have one there from my earlier Bambanet usage, so that one had more luck...
I am not sure what to do with the EVDO networking link techie sent, the paths used don't seem to exist on my box, maybe other packages missing?! I have a feeling that this site comes closest, though it just doesn't do it for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090119 . Though failing to get a carrier connection still, I guess I will stick with SFC on my Ubuntu box for now. Thanks again to everyone who have chipped in..

Hi techie,
Can you confirm you are using the EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A? I presume you are using 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (not 9.4).
I had the modem working under 9.04 (at least once), but can't get it to work under Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which seems a bit strange.
Dan, to confirm, I don't login (under Windows and Mac) with something@orange.co.ke but with 02020049xx number and 4 digit PIN. Not sure when you require the email combo to be honest.
Thanks to everyone helping me get closer (hopefully).
cheers, Mark

After correct configuration on your wvdial.conf, just run the small bash script above. Remember it does modprobe so pulling it out with pkilling wvdial may bring some issues with your lappy.

Am not sure about the line `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` or `Init = ATX0` either. The best bet on these is to plug in your EVDO and then run `wvdialconf`. wvdialconf will generate the correct wvdial.conf; just without your username+password, and the Phone = xxxx parameter. However if `Dial Command = ATM1L3DT` and `Init = ATX0` work on mac then noneed to change it.
I cannot remember whether it was /dev/ttyUSB0 or 1, but luckily wvdialconf almost always writes a .conf with the correct serial device. You can try switching the `0` with a `1` for a quick test though..
Regards and good luck.

Thanks for responding Ndungi, it seems like several serial ports are attached in /var/log/messages, so not sure which to use (ttyUYSB0, 1 or 2). Do you know if I need to use 'Orangefixedplus' and 'Orange' as the username/password combo, or my personal one that came with the RUIM card? On my Mac I use the latter with success :)
My latest wvdial.conf looked like this:
[Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 ISDN = off Modem Type = USB Modem Baud = 460800 Init = ATX0 Phone = #777
Dial Prefix = Dial Attempts = 1 Dial Command = ATM1L3DT Ask Password = off Password = 020xxxx Username = xxxx Auto Reconnect = on Abort on Busy = off Carrier Check = no Check Def Route = on Abort on No Dialtone = on Stupid Mode = on Idle Seconds = 0 Auto DNS = on [Dialer shh] Init3 = ATM0
The response: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATX0 ATX0 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATM1L3DT#777 --> Waiting for carrier. ATM1L3DT#777 NO CARRIER --> No Carrier! Trying again. --> Maximum Attempts Exceeded..Aborting!! --> Disconnecting at Mon Jan 25 12:06:16 2010
Thanks for any pointers!
cheers, Mark

You will sometimes get that response if you havent bought the bundle, or paid cause it cant authenticate your username and password. Alternatively, post your wvdial.conf here; and append the output you get form the terminal when you run wvdial. -- Ndungi Kyalo biblia.kenya.or.ke

Hi guys,
Just wanted to find out whether someone managed to get the Orange EVDO modem working under Linux. I tried under Ubuntu 9.10 and am nog getting any carrier response, though I am sure it must be possible (I was able to connect under 9.04 I believe). I am hoping to use the Ubuntu box as an internet gateway for my LAN. Orange's deal of 1 KES per 1Mb seems to be one of the better deals.
cheers,

hi guys...very important topic here, i was also trying to install the orange modem on fedora 13 but i think 13 is still abit unstable so i want to downgrade to 11 but the question is...why was it asking me to install wvdial? im new to linux, and it is really good, from the tuorials and articles i get on the net, im really enjoying it but i need the network connection at home but it doesnt go through. Il check through this discussion again and see what i can do but id appreciate any assistance thanks peter ________________________________ From: James Gutu <jmgutu@gmail.com> To: Skunkworks Mailing List <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Sent: Thu, 2 September, 2010 11:16:52 Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Anyone with Orange 3G+ Internet Everywhere EVDO on Linux?!

Has anybody used Orange EVDO modem on Ubuntu 10.04? Tried all the wvdial configurations on this thread but getting NO CARRIER all the time :/
Found drivers for UI for this device but not for 64 bit.

That is reassuring at least. Are you on 9.10? It is detected if i do a lsusb for example, and it is assigned to several serial ports in /var/log/messages. So it is a bit frustrating that it isn't connecting. It works a charm in OS X and XP, so the modem/line is fine!

Thanks for pointing that out Dan, I think you are right. Though I am not sure which one Ndungi is using. Mine was recently bought and is the one listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G
I am not getting the auto CDMA in my NetworkManager if that is what you mean techie. I do have one there from my earlier Bambanet usage, so that one had more luck...
I am not sure what to do with the EVDO networking link techie sent, the paths used don't seem to exist on my box, maybe other packages missing?! I have a feeling that this site comes closest, though it just doesn't do it for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090119. Though failing to get a carrier connection still, I guess I will stick with SFC on my Ubuntu box for now. Thanks again to everyone who have chipped in..

Anyone tried using the Huawei Modem near where the fan is on a laptop (just next to it or on top of it). Does the OS hang or freeze?

I was excited a while back to see the BSNL UI installer only to be disappointed since there's not one for the 64 bit :-( Solomon Kariri talked about UMTSMON, sounded great but installing it had unending issues; So my solution had been to unblock the PIN and just use Network Manager (it works perfect for Ubuntu 10.04), very straight forward, only that you can't see the signal strength.

Has anybody used Orange EVDO modem on Ubuntu 10.04? Tried all the wvdial configurations on this thread but getting NO CARRIER all the time :/
Found drivers for UI for this device but not for 64 bit.

That is reassuring at least. Are you on 9.10? It is detected if i do a lsusb for example, and it is assigned to several serial ports in /var/log/messages. So it is a bit frustrating that it isn't connecting. It works a charm in OS X and XP, so the modem/line is fine!

yeah, am using EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A. It should work on Ubuntu 9.10 by detecting the device automatically.
Have u tried the modem on a different OS? Colud be the modem has an issue.

Thanks for pointing that out Dan, I think you are right. Though I am not sure which one Ndungi is using. Mine was recently bought and is the one listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G
I am not getting the auto CDMA in my NetworkManager if that is what you mean techie. I do have one there from my earlier Bambanet usage, so that one had more luck...
I am not sure what to do with the EVDO networking link techie sent, the paths used don't seem to exist on my box, maybe other packages missing?! I have a feeling that this site comes closest, though it just doesn't do it for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090119. Though failing to get a carrier connection still, I guess I will stick with SFC on my Ubuntu box for now. Thanks again to everyone who have chipped in..

Mark, your'e probably more techie than i am. what i felt i needed to point out, and already have, is that you and ndungi are not using an exact same device. one is older (ndungis) and hence the situations will not necessarily be the same

Hi techie,
Can you confirm you are using the EC226 USB Modem CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.A? I presume you are using 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (not 9.4).
I had the modem working under 9.04 (at least once), but can't get it to work under Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which seems a bit strange.
Dan, to confirm, I don't login (under Windows and Mac) with something@orange.co.ke but with 02020049xx number and 4 digit PIN. Not sure when you require the email combo to be honest.
Thanks to everyone helping me get closer (hopefully).
cheers, Mark
