Hi,

I'm trying to install a USB 3G modem, a HUAWEI E220, but when I run # comgt -d /dev/ttyUSB0

I get the error: "[root@deckard files]# comgt -d /dev/ttyUSB0 comgt 19:12:30 -> -- Error Report -- comgt 19:12:30 -> ----> ^ comgt 19:12:30 -> Error @74, line 4, Could not write to COM device. (1)"

I've google about it, but find anything useful.

Any ideas ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards, Mário Gamito _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I been thinking of getting one of these, so I will watch this thread. i haven't purchased one yet as I was not sure if they were Linux compatible. I did find this on Google when I was trying to find out if it was compatible.

Hope it helps John

Hi,

You may wish to try on Ubuntu 7.04. You should be able to get it to work by using most of the references found on the web. I've managed to get it working with the following steps;

1. Start Ubuntu 7.04 with the USB modem plug in (you should see /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, and /dev/ttyUSB2)

2. Edit wvdial.conf with the following settings (with reference to Singapore StarHub)

[Dialer hsdpa] Phone = *99# Username = star Password = hub Stupid Mode = 1 Dial Command = ATDT Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 460800 Init2 = ATZ Init3 = ATE0V1&D2&C1S0=0+IFC=2,2 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Init5 =AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","shwap";

3. route add default gw 10.64.64.64

I've tried to get it to work on FC8, FC7, FC6, Ubuntu 7.10, and RHEL5 but to no avail.

Cheers, Bernard Chew
