Re: [ubuntu-in] Continuing Problems with Huawei ETS2288
Hi Ram Thanks for putting in so much time. Welcome, I live in a remote area, and I know what it is to get stuck like this without any support. then did :~$ sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0x3410 :~$ sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 :~$ sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 Since you have no error messages here, things seem to be okay so far. ~$ sudo wvdial [sudo] password for ram: -- Ignoring malformed input line: ;Do NOT edit this file by hand! -- WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 -- Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such device I think for some reason even sudo has no write permission to /dev/ttyUSB0. Checked dmesg and got this error message [ 218.090612] type=1503 audit(1238346819.369:9): operation=inode_permission requested_mask=w:: denied_mask=w:: fsuid=0 name=/dev/ttyUSB0 pid=9672 profile=/usr/sbin/cupsd [ 218.090658] type=1503 audit(1238346819.369:10): operation=inode_permission requested_mask=w:: denied_mask=w:: fsuid=0 name=/dev/ttyUSB1 pid=9672 profile=/usr/sbin/cupsd Perhaps this gives the clue to why root has no permission to write to /dev/ttyUSB0. Who is the owner of /dev/ttyUSB0? Is it lp? Perhaps the first thing to try is to uninstall cupsd, do you want to do that? It may not be worth it. But since cupsd is taking over ttyUSB0, removing it to check might help. Or perhaps you kill -9 9672? Or whatever is the process during a particular boot that grabs /dev/ttyUSB0? Ideally chown /dev/ttyUSB0 and chown ... /dev/ttyUSB1 should also help. Along with that, you'd have to do chmod too. Here's the output for my config: m...@ubu:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyU* crw-r--r-- 1 root root 188, 0 2009-03-29 16:51 /dev/ttyUSB0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 188, 1 2009-03-29 16:51 /dev/ttyUSB1 I am still reading about this problem, will let you know if I find something.

Can you check the existence of these? Perhaps try to talk to these ports using minicom or something similar?

Re: [ubuntu-in] Continuing Problems with Huawei ETS2288
Hi Moz,
Thanks for the suggestions, but still no success. This is what i did.
first checked ls /dev/ttyU*
your right there were no ttyUSBO or USB1
so did
-$sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
-$sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
voila next time it did ls /dev/ttyU*
i got
/dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1
edited RC Local with the lines'
sudo -S modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0x3401 /home/ram/foo/foo.txt
sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
edited the line in wvdial crtcts to crtscts
tried wvdial 93
got error
--- cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0 . No such device
restarted and found that the ttyUSB0 had disappeared so did mknod
again and tried
tried wvdial 93
same error
edited the line containing crtscts and # it out completely
same error.
So back to square one
Very frustrating.
I tried the same thing on Opensuse 11.1 and get the same errors.

So far so good. But why did you not give the mknod command right after
this, before configuring wvdial
PPPD Options = crtcts multilink usepeerdns lock defaultroute
Wonder why you need PPPD options. I don't with my ETS1201. But there is
a spelling error above. Did you copy-paste? It should be crtscts.
Then tried the options given by Moz and Onkar
1 Made a file called
:~$ sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
Added the following lines (without the -S and the path to the password file)
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0x3410
sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
exit 0
I am currently using the above, but without any modifications to any
/etc/modprobe.d/ . I did that because it might conflict. But no idea. I
also tried everything else, but only the above (without any other
modifications) works.
Then checked to see if there was a file called /dev/ttyUSB0
this is the result
-$ls /dev/ttyu*
/dev/ttyu0 /dev/ttyu3 /dev/ttyu6 /dev/ttyu9 /dev/ttyuc /dev/ttyuf
/dev/ttyu1 /dev/ttyu4 /dev/ttyu7 /dev/ttyua /dev/ttyud
/dev/ttyu2 /dev/ttyu5 /dev/ttyu8 /dev/ttyub /dev/ttyue
So no ttyUSB0 or 1
You did not look for ttyUSB0, you looked for something with ttyu*, which
is different than ttyU*.
While setting up in 7.10 the following are the things done
dmesg
the lines below are dmesg output from 7.10 (note the difference)
#kr# error message that i get

after which a rules file is setup
Now we have to make one rule file in

and then the device works well.
***
So the question is what is this
[ 1642.274280] firmware: requesting ti_usb-3410.bin
and why am i getting the /dev/ttyUSB0 error
Since there are many devices being setup would like to know if anyone
has got this device ets2288 working on Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10
I have been using ETS1201 under Ubuntu 8.04 (64 bit) and earlier under
Ubuntu 8.10 (32 bit) for months now. And in between I also used it under
Kubuntu 8.10 for a short while. And I had no problems. I had problems
only when I tinkered with the config as per advice by Onkar, and my
internet connection stopped working. But I do think that that is a more
correct way of doing, only that someone more knowledgeable than me has
to figure out the exact method, I can not do that.

Re: [ubuntu-in] Continuing Problems with Huawei ETS2288
Hi Ram edited RC Local with the lines' sudo -S modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0451 product=0x3401 /home/ram/foo/foo.txt sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 When I was trying the configuration for the first time I did all this from the command line, not from rc.local or anywhere else. So, lets try this: 1. Change your rc.local to the original state. 2. Change your /etc/modprobe.d/ to the original state too. 3. run the above commands without the password file, just enter the password manually, all three in the above sequence. 4. backup your /etc/wvdial.conf and create a clean /etc/wvdial.conf, with the following lines: [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Init1 = ATZ Phone = #777 Username = cdma Password = cdma New PPPD = yes Stupid Mode = 1 This is the exact wvdial.conf I am using. As you can notice, there are no pppd options. And try connecting using sudo wvdial. Sometimes, it will take almost 90 seconds to connect, so go make tea or have a cup or coffee or something, in case it is taking unusually long to connect. It just might after a long time. 5. If this does not work, try installing minicom or something similar and try sending commands to the ETS2288 directly using mincom and see if it responds correctly. I got my ETS1201 working as above first, used that, and found no one could deal with running wvdial from the shellprompt, so I have installed GNOME-PPP and it works well with that for the past month or so. And GNOME-PPP is using the following file (this is the exact copy): [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 ISDN = off Modem Type = Analog Modem Baud = 115200 Init = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 C1 D2 +FCLASS=0 Init3 = Init4 = Init5 = Init6 = Init7 = Init8 = Init9 = Phone = #777 Phone1 = Phone2 = Phone3 = Phone4 = Dial Prefix = Dial Attempts = 3 Dial Command = ATM1L3DT Ask Password = off Password = cdma Username = cdma Auto Reconnect = off Abort on Busy = on Carrier Check = on Check Def Route = on Abort on No Dialtone = on Stupid Mode = on Idle Seconds = 0 Auto DNS = on ;Minimize = off ;Dock = on ;Do NOT edit this file by hand! Tell me if this works for you. If all this works, only then create the appropriate /etc/rc.local and /etc/wvdial.conf. I am beginning to read about the ETS2288 in case I can find something about it.

Re: [ubuntu-in] Continuing Problems with Huawei ETS2288
Hi, in the /etc/rc.local there are two lines on top #!/bin/sh -e # rc.local does the first line need to be un#ed , tried editing the hash out but nothing happedn /dev/ttyUSB did not get created on start up Please do not remove the '#' from the first line. The entire line is known as a 'shebang' among other names, and is used to tell the system what shell to run it in. The line has to be the first line in a shell script, for it to be correctly recognised and run as a shell script across all systems. Hope this helps in removing one of your doubts in solving your problem. Sadly, I don't have the answer to your complete problem. Ninad S.
