[Bug 868034] Re: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10
If I may refer to my comment #85 - I had a look at the working and nonworking log of modem-manager and pointed out the obvious differences. I strongly suspect that the newer version of MM is attempting to make use of the diagnostic port, which can give status information (like signal strength) even during a connection. In this case though, it affects the modem in some bad way; I doubt the log will help much to pinpoint the underlying problem ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/modemmanager/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sleepy John: syslog log is pretty useless if ModemManager wasn't run with --debug, :-/ And regarding the priority, I really don't give a s*** about it :-) I personally do this in my free time, so at least for me, it doesn't matter if it was low or super-critical, I'll try to help if I have time. Josua Dietze: The first test I suggest is to ensure that the newer kernel has no effect on this issue. If MM 0.4 works ok with the newer kernel, it's probably MM's fault. The second test I suggest is to completely avoid using the secondary port. If that test succeeds we can probably force MM to avoid using the secondary port for this specific Huawei device, at least until we can figure out why it failed that way. So logs (in debug mode) for these tests will really help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/modemmanager/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Aleksander: I have installed modem-manager 0.4 on my 11.10 system and it works ok - a debug log is attached (it contains the sequence connect/disconnect/connect) It was quite painless for me to install the older release, so this might be a suitable interim solution for some other people who are having this problem. To install the version from Natty you need to: Step 1: Fetch the old .deb file. You can get this from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/modemmanager In the section Download modemmanager click on either amd64 or i386 as appropriate for your machine and save the file somewhere. I'm using 64-bit so the file I retrieved is called: modemmanager_0.4+git.20110124t203624.00b6cce-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb Step 2: Remove the current (broken) version of modemmanager from your machine. sudo dpkg --purge modemmanager Step 3: Install the older version that you downloaded in Step 1. sudo dpkg -i modemmanager_0.4+git.20110124t203624.00b6cce-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb Step 4: (not 100% sure this is needed but won't hurt) Bounce the NetworkManager sudo stop network-manager sudo start network-manager The modem should now work as it did in 11.04. You might want to perform an additional step to prevent the update manager from reinstalling the broken version: Optional Step 5: Start the Synaptic Package Manager Find modemmanager in the packages list. It should look something like: S | | Package | Installed Version | Latest Version | Description ! modemmanager | 0.4+git.20110124t203624.00b6cce-2ubuntu1| 0.5-1ubuntu1 | D-Bus service for managing modems Click on the modemmanager package, then from the menu select Package - Lock Version Obviously at some future time when this bug is fixed you will want to unlock this version by again selecting Package - Lock Version ** Attachment added: Natty modem-manager on Oneiric https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/868034/+attachment/2662771/+files/modem-manager-04-on-1110.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/modemmanager/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Great, so anyone requiring to use MM with the Huawei modem can fallback to 0.4 until the proper fix arrives in a 0.5 update.

As one of the mere users who rely on a Huawei E220 for my internet access, and as one who doesn't fully undertand what's going on with getting this bug fixed, I'm finding it frustrating to see the status keeps changing and no apparent progress being made towards correcting it. Maybe I misunderstand, but how can the importance of this bug suddenly be changed to low without consulting all the Huawei users who have subscribed to this bug and have confirmed the difficulties they are having as a result of it.In simple terms our modems were working just fine in Natty and earlier versions, but as soon as we ugraded to Ocelot they have ceased to work unless we go through awkward lengthy and unreliable workarounds to log-in. I for one am becoming weary of this situation, especially when I see the priority for getting it fixed appears to have been downgraded apparently without regard for us the Huawei users. I would like to exhort any other Huawei users on here who are experiencing similar difficulities to voice their opinion about the priority recently being downgraded to low again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 868034] Re: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10
Mark: Thanks for the logs
I can find two main differences in the MM 0.4 (the one which worked) and
MM 0.5 (the one which failed) log.
1) In the MM 0.5 log, the secondary ttyUSB1 gets probed and grabbed as
secondary port; while in the MM 0.4 log capability probing in that port
is not even launched (just grep for USB1 in both logs, and compare the
results)
In the MM 0.4 log:
debug [mm-modem-base.c:155] mm_modem_base_add_port(): (ttyUSB1) type ignored
claimed by /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1a.1/usb4/4-2
In the MM 0.5 log:
debug [mm-modem-base.c:155] mm_modem_base_add_port(): (ttyUSB1) type
secondary claimed by /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1a.1/usb4/4-2
This is already pretty weird, as in MM 0.4 the ttyUSB1 port is grabbed
but wasn't probed at all. I wonder if there is some kind of issue with
the kernel driver which exposes two ports with usbif=0. Don't know if
that is even possible.
2) MM 0.5 has some changes in the Huawei plugin. We now use AT^CURC,
AT^GETPORTMODE commands when it gets initialized. AT^CURC=0 when the
first port is tried will disable unsolicited messages in the secondary
port, and AT^GETPORTMODE tries to query
In any case, the problem seems to be that the modem gets rebooted at some
point. This happens after we enable unsolicited messages in the secondary port
with AT^CURC=1, and after we send the first commands to that secondary port.
Last logs from the modem show this BOOT message.
debug [mm-at-serial-port.c:298] debug_log(): (ttyUSB1): --
'CRLF^BOOT:92988511,0,0,0,6CRLF'
If someone can do more tests, I would now try:
A) Try the MM 0.4 version from Ubuntu 11.04 directly in Ubuntu 11.10.
You should be able to dpkg --purge modem-manager (no package depends on
it in Ubuntu) ad then dpkg -i the specific deb retrieved from the Ubuntu
11.04 archive. This would help to see if we do get ttyUSB1 grabbed also
as secondary port in the newer kernel.
B) Hack the Huawei plugin in a custom MM 0.5 branch so that it ignores
all ports except for the primary one grabbed. This can be done by
changing the whole last else {} switch in grab_port() within plugins/mm-
plugin-huawei.c, to just mm_modem_grab_port() passing ptype =
MM_PORT_TYPE_IGNORED. This would help to see if we really are managing
wrong the secondary port, and is just better to skip it in this specific
modem, or try to refix it if we know how.

I'm pleased to see the recent progress being made by Mark and Aleksander (comments #102 - #104), though not happy that the priority still remains listed as low. Meanwhile last night I managed to locate syslog file entries from both Maverick (ver 0.4) and from Ocelot (ver 0.5) for plugging in and trying to log-in on my Huawei E220, and I'm attaching the Maverick one here. I'll attach the Ocelot one for comparison in the next post.

Doesn't seem to be a kernel issue, but more of some kind of interaction between network-manager and modemmanager. No need to keep the bug task open for linux. Bartosz; that's not very helpful. Debian packages are very different that those we use for Ubuntu, at least for NetworkManager. The package available in 11.10 is one that was thoroughly tested with various different scenarios. While it may happen that things slip and fail to work; in this particular case it appears to be very specific to that device. If not specific to all Huawei E220s, then specific to that particular dongle/firmware. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've been using my E220 with wvdial since the upgrade to Oneiric, attached is the configuration I use (except the PIN). I tried to reproduce the try to connect - reset - replug - works with network- manager workaround with limited success (worked sometimes, but not reliably). I have some additional observations: 1. After plugging in the modem, I need to wait until usb_modeswitch is done before starting wvdial or it won't work. Network-manager recognizes the modem before the switch is complete and asks for the PIN, if I provide it the device won't work. 2. wvdial does not work after a failed network-manager connection attempt, no matter if with or without reset. I have to replug the device. 3. Network-manager does not recognize the modem after reset without replugging, even though the kernel log shows the disconnect/connect events. ** Attachment added: working wvdial config file https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/868034/+attachment/2625169/+files/wvdial.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 868034] Re: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10
One striking difference between the two modem-manager.logs is that in 11.10 there is communication with ttyUSB1 in parallel, whereas in 11.04 it is type ignored after the probing. The commands that are going to ttyUSB0 seem not to be different in both logs, but the response from there stops at the moment the command AT+CGREG=2 is sent to ttyUSB1 (log from 11.10). This is supposed to switch on unsolicited status output on that port, to monitor the signal and other parameters during a connection. This seems to be a fundamental difference in the modem handling between 11.04 and 11.10.

Is it possible for an E220 to be left in the wrong state when it's switched off? Not that I know of. Power gone = back to install mode. Always. No known exceptions. This would not make sense anyway: the point of the whole process is to have the (Windows) drivers available at *every* plugin. The device does not know if the machine it is plugged into has the drivers installed already. The problem of this bug lies somewhere in the interaction between software (Network Manager) and modem device. The mode switch will happen all the time, but maybe the modem registration of Network/Modem Manager will persist during the re-plug and the probing of the port will be skipped the second time. You can try to find out if there are differences between your first plug and the second (plus the reset) by looking at dmesg/modem- manager/networkmanager logs. The way I see it, the bug appears first in the networkmanager.log from comment #2: NetworkManager[5781]: info Activation (ttyUSB0) starting connection 'Dialog GSM Postpaid' NetworkManager[5781]: info (ttyUSB0): device state change: disconnected - prepare (reason 'none') [30 40 0] NetworkManager[5781]: info Activation (ttyUSB0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) scheduled...

There is no indication of the problem in modem-manager.log (comment #1), but it shows the communication between the system and the modem. Now, if we had a respective log from Natty, we could see any differences in this communication. Annother thing to try is if access to storage interfaces is still possible after the modem problem becomes apparent (MicroSD card slot).

[Bug 868034] Re: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10
Just thinking aloud to try and understand this problem better, we know that the E220 can appear as two different USB devices, depending on which way it's switched. In one mode it looks like a storage device, and in the other it looks like a modem. Do we know whether these two modes are bistable, in other words can it equally remain in either of its two states, or is there a default state that it always reverts to when it's depowered? I ask this because please notice in my post #13 fix I find I have to unplug and replug my USB connection to get it to work. Is it possible for an E220 to be left in the wrong state when it's switched off? I'm noticing that after being on-line with my E220 on Ocelot, if I then restart and go over to Windows and try to go on-line with it again using Huawei's Mobile Connect application, quite often it won't connect at the first attempt, and I have to unplug and replug its USB connection before it will connect properl.y. This leads me to suspect that when I close an on-line session on Ocelot, my E220 is being left in a different (wrong) state to what happens when I close an on-line session on Huawei's Mobile Connect. Before I came up with post #13 fix, I was having to first prime my E220 by going on-line with it using either Huawei's Mobile Connect or with Natty, and from there doing a powered-on restart to Ocelot where it would then connect correctly. I guess this priming was effectively doing the same thing as usb_modeswitch does.There must be a clue in the fact that I need to do a USB unplug-replug after running sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 1003 -R. One other observation I'd like to mention is that when I first switch on Ocelot from cold and plug my E220 in, I can see my 3G mobile connection being displayed as available, so that leads me to believe my E220 has been switched into modem mode at that stage. However, if I try clicking on that connection, it fails to connect. I then run sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 1003 -R. and that causes my 3G mobile connection available display to disappear for several seconds. When it becomes available again (i.e.switched back to modem mode) it still won't connect until I do a usb unplug replug. Only then, after another few seconds of it's availability disappearing, will it successfully connect. There must be clues to what's happening hidden in these observations, but all I can offer at this stage are these observations as a brainstorm excercise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think I have not been clear enough; the built-in switching function in the kernel is not related to the bug reported here. It has not changed since the 2.6.2x versions, AFAIK. It just confirmed the fact that usb_modeswitch could not be involved with this bug in any way.

[Bug 868034] Re: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10
The command from comment #13 will do nothing but send a standard device reset control message to the modem. Any tool using libusb could do that, so it's not a genuine property of usb_modeswitch. It was added just for convenience. And the workaround is quite logical: if something is screwing up the device, a clean reset will make it work again. This is *not* a mode switch, the device stays in modem mode obviously. BTW, there is no need to provide a target ID in the command since this is no mode switch with success check. Just run sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 1003 -R. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 868034] Re: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10
I too have this problem with a Huawei E220 USB modem. I had no problems with Ubuntu versions 9.10 thru 11.04 but am seeing it now that I have installed 11.10. The problem also occurs if booting from the 11.10 ISO disk, so it is not due to a corrupt installation. I can use the sakis3g script to make a connection so there is no problem with the modem or ISP. I have enabled logging in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf which produces a single log file (/var/log/usb_modeswitch.log - attached) that is written at the time that I plug in the USB modem. What looks interesting to me is that there is a list of USB devices in this log, but the modem is not listed (there is only one connected device which lsusb reveals to be the built-in webcam) and therefore usb_modeswitch concludes that there is nothing to do. So despite the fact that the running of usb_modeswitch appears to get triggered by my plugging in the modem, the modem does not appear in the list of USB devices. Could it be that it takes some small time for the device to initialise and that usb_modeswitch is running before this has happened? There are two other bugs/poor behaviour related to this issue but they don't bother me sufficiently to raise separate bug reports: 1. usb_modeswitch does not appear to run (there is no log file) if the modem is plugged-in before booting 2. If I bring up the link using some other method (e.g. using the sakis3g script) network-manager does not realise that a connection has been made so it grays-out the menu options to make my VPN connections unavailable.

If udev starts usb_modeswitch, but usb_modeswitch can't find the device when searching the busses, it means that something else is affecting the device in the meantime. This should be visible when calling dmesg after plugging in.

It's the kernel. I have forgotten about it - there is a switching function in usb-storage from the time when usb_modeswitch wasn't wide-spread. The affected devices are listed in unusual_devs.h. The bottom line is that usb_modeswitch can't be responsible for the reported bug. It is not needed for this device, but does not interfere if present.

[Bug 868034] Re: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10
Thanks for two votes of confidence above, but seriously I don't see this code as anything more than a temporary workaround until a properly designed fix is found. In my setup, it only worked after a manual USB unplug/replug, and I'm sure there must be a better way of simulating this automatcally. Basically I would have thought looking into the differences in the way Ocelot handles an E220 compared to how Natty does it would be the best way forward, since it all works fine in Natty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 868034] Re: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10
I am experiencing similar problems after upgrading my Acer Aspire One to 11.10 from 11.04. Once connected, my E220 will disconnect and reconnect quite reliably provided it continues to be powered on via its USB connection. Howver if I unplug it or depower it by swirching off, I cannot get it to reconnect on 11.10, and I have to go either to Natty or to Windows to get it to work again. From there, a direct restart to 11.10 will deliver it it back in a condition from which it will connect again.
