Wvdial under Fedora10_beta_x64

[counterroot]

Hello all over there,

I have a Problem using pppd under Fedora_10_beta. System is up2date.
The simcard is from Vodafone.

My /etc/wvdial.conf, which has been working with Fedora 9:

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 460800
#Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init1 = ATZe1
Init2 = at+cgdcont=1,"IP","web.vodafone.de"
#Init3 = at+cgqreq=1,2,4,3,9,31
Area Code =
Phone = *99***1#
Username = VFD2
Password = WAP
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Force Address =
Idle Seconds = 3000
DialMessage1 =
DialMessage2 =
ISDN = 0
Auto DNS = 1

PIN is set trough an script. And has been working too..

But now when I try to call "wvdial":

# setpin
OK - PIN accepted

Hello,

I have the same Problem with an 32bit - x86 Version of Fedora 10

I called a Bug-Report @ Redhat:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470745

[cgrim]

For me it works fine ;-)

I'm using 64bit F10:

[root@notas ~]# uname -a

wvdial configuration is:

[Dialer Defaults]
Baud = 57600
Modem = /dev/ttyS0
Dial Command = ATD
Carrier Check = no

[Dialer Setup]
Init = AT+CFUN=1

[Dialer Status]
Init1 = AT+COPS?;+CSQ

[Dialer GPRS]
#Init1 = ATZ
#Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.t-mobile.cz"
#Modem Type = Analog Modem
#New PPPD = yes
Phone = *99***1#
Username = gprs
Password = gprs
#Stupid Mode = 1
#Idle Seconds = 1

And here are results:

Probably it depends on what device are you using. I have Option GT Combo Edge.

[counterroot]

well..

I tried it with my APN web.vodafone.de, but sadly not a quite good result. It wait's very long @ Carrier detected. Waiting for Prompt. But then there are again failures:

Now it writes to you:

Cannot get information for serial port.

So you have probably specified a bad modem device name in wvdial.conf.
Is it /dev/ttyUSB0?

[counterroot]

no it should be the right one.

$ dmesg | grep modem
usbserial: USB Serial support registered for GSM modem (1-port)
option 4-2:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
usb 4-2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0
option 4-2:1.1: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
usb 4-2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1
option: USB Driver for GSM modems: v0.7.2

when I set ttyUSB1 I can't either set pin weather connect with wvdial:

$ su

[root@freechip counterroot]# vi /bin/setpin
[root@freechip counterroot]# setpin
^C
[root@freechip counterroot]# vi /bin/setpin

--> Sending: ATQ0
--> Re-Sending: AT+CFUN=1
--> Modem not responding.

Hello all over there...
Simple Solution... The SIM-Card has been expired. -.-*
Another SIM-Card works right now.
goofy accident, that the card has expired when I changed to Fedora 10_64bit
