Hello all.
I've been trying to get working the 3G dongle ZTE626 for internet access in FreeBSD 8, up to now, without success. I'm quite new to BSDs.
I did the following.
1.1) Tested in linux (Debian Squeezy) using usb_modeswitch to switch the device to modem function. Tested the result with lsusb Switched to Modem ... [OK]
1.2) Tested the device with minicom to send some AT command ... [OK]
1.3) Connected to Internt with wvdial ... Internet communications ... [OK]
In linux after switching to modem function the device is attached to a node /dev/ttyUSB2. Thats the comm. port I used in wvdial and minicom.
2) FreeBSD8
2.1) I compiled usb_modeswitch. And switched to modem function. Seemed to have switched to modem ... [OK]
Code:
# usbconfig dump_device_desc
ugen2.2: <ZTE Configuration ZTE,Incorporated> at usbus2, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON
bLength = 0x0012
bDescriptorType = 0x0001
bcdUSB = 0x0200
bDeviceClass = 0x0000
bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000
bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000
bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040
idVendor = 0x19d2
idProduct = 0x0031
bcdDevice = 0x0000
} iManufacturer = 0x0002 <ZTE,Incorporated>
iProduct = 0x0001 <ZTE Configuration>
iSerialNumber = 0x0003 <P671A2PERD010000>
bNumConfigurations = 0x0001
I mean seemed to work because idVendor and idProduct are the same as linux's lsusb in modem function.
2.2) What node the device is attached? ... [FAILED]
I think the problem is here... I don't know if the device is beeing recognized. I use u3g driver, I put it in loader.conf
I tried minicom in /dev/ttycuau0 without response from modem. I think that node is not linked to this dongle.
An interesting message I get in /var/log/message is the following:
Code:
root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x19d2 product 0x0031 bus uhub2
Those are really idVendor and idProduct of this device.
Am I missing some step?
Does anybody knows if is there any other approach I could try?
Is there anything else I could try before giving up?
Thanks in advance,
Matías
