Multimedia support with Linux

[Open Your Hands]

Linux drivers for HUAWEI WIRELESS MODEM(153.6K).

If you have this type of modem then you can configure your modem in Linux using below steps.

System Requirements
* Linux with kernel above 2.6.** (Check it by command in console uname -a).
(Personally Tested on RHEL5)

1. It is well assumed that Linux is up on your system and your USB/Serial cable is plugged in.
Now in console type command

#tail -100 /var/log/dmessages or  dmesg -c

Search for the following lines


ti_usb_3410_5052 1-1:2.0: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter detected
usb 1-1: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter now attached to /dev/ttyUSB0


If u even see ttyUSB0 in the kernel message then also your modem is detected and you can configure your dial up. You can use GUI interface or CLI. Configure your wvdial.conf in /etc and start your dialup.

If not then possibly u will be seeing the following error messages in bundle but i will paste only two lines here.

ti_usb_3410_5052 1-1:1.0: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter detected

ti_usb_3410_5052: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -5


We need to configure one rule file in /etc/udev/rules.d/026_ti_usb_3410.rules .In console login as a root

#su root

password *****

#cd /etc/udev/rules.d/

#vi 026_ti_usb_3410.rules (Now Paste the following lines in it)

<sup>#TI USB 3410 - openguys.org

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" ACTION=="add" SYSFS{idVendor}=="0451",SYSFS{idProduct}=="3410" \

SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}=="2" \

SYSFS{bConfigurationValue}=="1" \

RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 2 > /sys%p/device/bConfigurationValue'"</sup>


SAVE AND EXIT

Now once again plug out ur USB/Serial cable and then plugin.

Again type dmesg -c in console

Check the kernel message and find the following line

ti_usb_3410_5052 1-1:2.0: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter detected
usb 1-1: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter now attached to /dev/ttyUSB0


If its ok. then configure your dial up.
