Public bug reported: Binary package hint: modemmanager
I have an unlocked/unbranded Vodafone K3520 (aka Huawei E169) Broadband modem. When booting off a v9.04 (i386) live CD it connects to the Telstra and Vodafone (I'm in Australia) networks work just fine. When running off v9.10 (AMD64) from my hard drive the Vodafone SIM connects fine, the Telstra one doesn't. Apart from the SIMs, it is all the same hardware at the same location. (I think the two networks use different technology, I'm not sure.) I did some investigation in to the AT commands when using the Telstra SIM. With v9.04 all is good: ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +FCLASS=0 ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +FCLASS=0 OK AT+CPIN? +CPIN: READY OK ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +FCLASS=0 OK AT+CFUN=1 OK AT+CGMM K3520 OK AT+CREG? +CREG: 0,5 OK AT+COPS? +COPS: 0,0,"3TELSTRA",2 OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","telstra.internet" OK ATD*99***1# CONNECT 7200000 With v9.10 it fails: ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +CMEE=1 ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +CMEE=1 OK AT+CREG=0 OK AT+CFUN=1 OK AT+CPIN? +CPIN: READY OK AT+COPS=0,, OK AT+CREG? +CREG: 0,5 OK AT+COPS=3,2;+COPS? +COPS: 0,2,"50506",2 OK AT+COPS=3,0;+COPS? +COPS: 0,0,"3TELSTRA",2 OK AT+CSQ +CSQ: 12,99 OK AT+CGDCONT? +CGDCONT: 1,"IP","telstra.internet","0.0.0.0",0,0 +CGDCONT: 2,"IP","Telstra.wap","0.0.0.0",0,0 +CGDCONT: 3,"IP","telstra.datapack","0.0.0.0",0,0 +CGDCONT: 4,"IP","telstra.pcpack","0.0.0.0",0,0 +CGDCONT: 5,"IP","telstra.internet","0.0.0.0",0,0 +CGDCONT: 6,"IP","telstra.wap","0.0.0.0",0,0 OK ATD*99***1# NO CARRIER AT+CEER +CEER: No cause information available Interestingly, entering the same (v9.10) commands manually using CuteCom connected to /dev/ttyUSB0 connects OK: ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +CMEE=1 ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +CMEE=1 OK AT+CREG=0 OK AT+CFUN=1 OK AT+CPIN? +CPIN: READY OK AT+COPS=0,, OK AT+CREG? +CREG: 0,5 OK AT+COPS=3,2;+COPS? +COPS: 0,2,"50506",2 OK AT+COPS=3,0;+COPS? +COPS: 0,0,"3TELSTRA",2 OK AT+CSQ +CSQ: 11,99 OK AT+CGDCONT? +CGDCONT: 1,"IP","telstra.internet","0.0.0.0",0,0 +CGDCONT: 2,"IP","Telstra.wap","0.0.0.0",0,0 +CGDCONT: 3,"IP","telstra.datapack","0.0.0.0",0,0 +CGDCONT: 4,"IP","telstra.pcpack","0.0.0.0",0,0 +CGDCONT: 5,"IP","telstra.internet","0.0.0.0",0,0 +CGDCONT: 6,"IP","telstra.wap","0.0.0.0",0,0 OK ATD*99***1# CONNECT 7200000 Maybe there's a timing issue with the ATD coming too soon after the ATZ? Or commands coming too soon after the OK for the modem/SIM to handle? Any help is appreciated.
