PPP config for USB-based 3G / NextG HSDPA SIERRA 21 modems (FreeBSD 8.0)
This thread is strictly for setting up PPP configs for USB-based SIERRA Wireless HSPA 3G Modem (FreeBSD 8.0) and onward...
I have tried to work this out via searching here, there and everywhere. All I can achieve is a ppp script that says: Code:
# ppp Loading /lib/libalias_cuseeme.so Loading /lib/libalias_ftp.so Loading /lib/libalias_irc.so Loading /lib/libalias_nbt.so Loading /lib/libalias_pptp.so Loading /lib/libalias_skinny.so Loading /lib/libalias_smedia.so Working in interactive mode Using interface: tun0 ppp ON localhost> dial kpn ppp ON localhost> Warning: Chat script failed ppp ON localhost> Code:
# PPP config for 3G modems # This is an example ppp configuration that allows connection to KPN # networks. # Good coverage but crap configuration. If you need help with other # providers # contact # for details. # Issues: # The destination IP address negotiated by PPP when using KPN as your # provider # is invalid. You need to set up the default route to the interface, not # the IP # address, hence the ppp.link* scripts. # KPN does not hand out DNS servers, or at least, not that I can see. # Add # entries from OpenDNS. ppp.conf: kpn: set device /dev/cuau0 set speed 115200 set timeout 0 set authname MYAUTHNAME@MYISP.COM set authkey MYPASSWORD set dial "ABORT BUSY TIMEOUT 2 \ \"\" \ AT OK-AT-OK \ AT+CFUN=1 OK-AT-OK \ AT+CMEE=2 OK-AT-OK \ AT+CSQ OK \ AT+CGDCONT=1,\\\"IP\\\",\\\"internet\\\" OK \ AT+CGACT? OK-AT-OK \ AT+CGATT? OK \ AT+CGCLASS? OK \ AT+COPS? OK \ ATD*99***1# CONNECT" ## Lower the MTU as this seems to make the link more stable for GPRS connections. #set mtu maximum 296 #set mru maximum 296 # set crtscts on # disable vjcomp # disable acfcomp # disable deflate # disable deflate24 # disable pred1 # disable protocomp # disable mppe # disable ipv6cp # disable lqr # disable echo nat enable yes enable dns resolv writable set dns 208.67.220.220 208.67.222.222 # openDNS set ifaddr 10.1.0.2/0 10.1.0.1/0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 #add default HISADDR # See ppp.link* ppp.linkup: kpn: shell route delete default shell route add default -interface INTERFACE ppp.linkdown: default: shell logger "LABEL down (up UPTIME): OCTETSIN received, OCTETSOUT sent" kpn: shell route delete default Code:
set dial "ABORT BUSY TIMEOUT 2 \ \"\" \ AT OK-AT-OK \ AT+CFUN=1 OK-AT-OK \ AT+CMEE=2 OK-AT-OK \ AT+CSQ OK \ AT+CGDCONT=1,\\\"IP\\\",\\\"internet\\\" OK \ AT+CGACT? OK-AT-OK \ AT+CGATT? OK \ AT+CGCLASS? OK \ AT+COPS? OK \ ATD*99***1# CONNECT" If anyone else has the USB-based SIERRA Wireless HSPA 3G Modem and actually managed to find a working chat script please upload your ppp.conf here.. THX. If not don't worry, I'll work the b@st@rd out eventually >8-D. Anyway,, it's great to be back here at Daemonforums with whats left of us FreeBSDForum heads,,, THX Everyone who actively revived most of the old archives (any that could be salvaged) and those who developed the Daemonforums >8-D.

Why does this thread not show up in new posts ?¿?¿? weired...20 hrs old and still not in there... I really need this modem to work or it's throw out FreeBSD for another year or two until *BSD actually brings out a "real" (STABLE) version that has a working 3G chatscript provided.. anyone who knows anything about the 3G ppp.conf and or chatscript please help.

Sierra Wireless AirCard® USB 306 Modem for HSPA+ networks.
where is: gnome-ppp kppp pppd wvdial etc etc etc in my FreeBSD 8.0 STABLE DVD install edition ? The way I see it the Sierra Wireless AirCard® USB 306 Modem for HSPA+ networks is DooMed (superseeded) before FreeBSD will ever catch up... how is someone like me supposed to update ports etc with only one computer ? I cannot connect via DCHP through a gateway,,, etc etc etc... This is cutting edge wireless technology for FreeBSD and no one really cares.. I should have realized this when trying to install ISDN on FreeBSD a decade ago. Why should you care anyway, you probably have a T5 connection.. |

In other words: Sorry, we simply don't know You can try repeating your question on the "official" FreeBSD forums: forums.freebsd.org, you can also try sending a mail to the freebsd-questions@ maillist. Good luck.

Thanks Carpetsmoker.. I will continue using FreeBSD as my main machine.. although atm all I can do is rely on WinXP as my gateway.. I'll consider posting my question on the official FreeBSD forums aswell.. cheers..
