Re: WAN Ericsson F3507g

Hello James,

Ok, I'll try describe a process here to get this modem running.

First, the thread you point to could make it work with a ppp connection.
That is not the way to do it though, since it has a much more efficient
way to do communication.
Here is a alternative howto:

1. Patch your kernel with this patch:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-net/2008/10/29/3846534

2. After reboot with this new kernel, you should see like:

dmesg:

[   20.122239] cdc_acm 5-8:1.1: usb_probe_interface
[   20.122243] cdc_acm 5-8:1.1: usb_probe_interface - got id

You should also see a interface mb0 when you do ifconfig for example.

3. You can now test this manually, I mean without NetworkManager. Just
to see that the driver part is ok.

 3.1 Open /dev/ttyACM[0,1 or 2] in your favorite terminal emulator, this
will give you an interface to do AT commands in.

 3.2 You need a AT sequence like this to bring up your modem:
 3.2.1 AT&F
 3.2.2 AT+CFUN=1
 3.2.3 AT*EIAC=1
 3.2.4 AT*EIAPSW=1,1,"<your APN here>"
 3.2.5 AT*ENAP=1,1

 3.3 Now the connection should be up and you use dhclient to get an IP
on mb0 like "dhclient mb0" or similar.

 3.4 Time to start surf and read mails! :-)

4. To get NM to use this module, you currently need to work with the
sources of NetworkManager and modemmanager.
    This is so far work in progress and I'm not sure when the
distributions will pick these things up.

Best regards,
Per
