[ubuntu-in] BSNL - Huawei ETS 2288 CDMA phone on Ubuntu 9.04 (not working)

[Ramnarayan.K]

Hi

recently posted a mail on the BSNl Huawei ETS 2288 not working on
Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10.

Since then managed to lay hands on Ubuntu 9.04 and wanted to see if it
fared any better.

It did in one sense which makes me hopeful that it will work but
somewhere down the line something is still amiss and i think some of
you folks mught to able to help crack this one.

Ok so the details are

Comments on Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty Jackalope)
1.WVDIAL and WVDIALCONF are not installed by default – other wise this
would have been quite easy to setup

2.Even Though the device is regonized there seems to be no method of
setting it up to use.

So needed to setup wvdial manually as there was no internet connection
possible on Ubuntu.

Searched in Google and found that am not the only one missing wvdial
and some people have already addressed the problem.

check out George Vita's helpful help note at

http://acomelectronics.com/GeorgeVita/restore_wvdial.html

before installing the files from this i reloaded the repositories to
access only the cd since there were some conflicts between the
downloaded files and what apt was seeing as later versions,

Installed the files in the following order. Gdebi picked up the files
and installed them without much hassle , rather no hassle.

1. libxplc0.3.13_0.3.13-1_i386.deb
2. libwvstreams4.4-base_4.4.1-1.1_i386.deb
3. libwvstreams4.4-extras_4.4.1-1.1_i386.deb
4. libuniconf4.4_4.4.1-1.1_i386.deb
5. wvdial_1.60.1+nmu2_i386.deb

Ran wvdialconf
:~$ sudo wvdialconf
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0   S1   S2   S3   USB0

Sorry, no modem was detected!  Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?

Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial

If you still have problems, send mail to <wvdial-list at lists.nit.ca>.

Till date had never needed to run wvdialconf to setup this device on
Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10 and pclinux0s version

so decided to short cut to wvdial itself

copied the following parameters into wvdial.conf
~$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
[sudo] password for ram:

[Modem0]

Then tried wvdial

$ sudo wvdial 93
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: Input/output error

So no idea why this error

**
Tried the following:

Did a
$ sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1

also unplugged and replugged the device
$ sudo wvdial 93
[sudo] password for ram:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: Input/output error

same error

so now going for reboot
 Post reboot
dmesg
