Kernel is 2.6.31

Can somebody help me?

Thanks
Tobi

Finswimmer,

I've not tried mine in 2.6.31 yet but its fine on 2.6.30 and 2.6.29.
Its actually a USB 2 device and you have yours connected to a USB1 root hub.

That might be an issue as USB 2 devices are supposed to fall back to USB 1 speeds on USB 1 root hubs but many don't work properly. It may aso be a USB root hub power issue. Each root hub can provide 500 mA for att connected devices and the Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem needs all of that.

Please post your /proc/bus/usb/devices so I can see your usb device tree. You can look at it in usbview too. Emerge it if you need it.

Hmm.
Trying a different USB Port seems to work.
I get a ppp0 interface, but no IP adress. And it get killed with "modem hung up".

Please, can you provide me your wvdial.conf or the way you are connecting?

Thank you

Tobi

Finswimmer,

My dongle is a vodafone pay as you go thing at £15 per 1 Gb, with no time limit.
It beats £10/night for hotel wifi.

I use wvdial with the following /etc/wvdial.conf
Code:
[Dialer defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Init1 = ATZ
Phone = *99#
Username = *
Password = *
Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP"

[Dialer vodaphone]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.tele2.se"
Phone = *99#
Username = *
Password = *
New PPPD = yes
Auto DNS = 1

[Dialer pin]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = AT+CPIN=1234

I do not have a pin set so the wvdial command gets me connected.
Vodafone do no use the username and password to validate, so an non blank response works

I have given up.
Even in Windows the stick is not recognized correctly. I think it is a hardware issue.

Thanks for your help!

I opened a new topic about (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6203124.html) since Finswimmer think that his problem was an hardware problem.
Anyway, maybe you can consider it.
