UMTS Modem Onda MC503HSA MF636, probably a Usb 3.0 problem

Asked by gabry78

Hi, I 've a new problem. I'm not a novice for linux, I use Ubuntu from 2006.
First, I've Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS on Asus Zenbook UX 32 V intel core i7, Nvida graphic card, 4gb RAM, only USBs 3.0.

Previous I worked on a eeePC with a UMTS modem USB, in particular "Onda MC503HSA MF636", to access to the web with the same of Ubuntu version on Usb 2. For the first installation of that modemkey in that computer I used several guide in internet. In that occasion I've modified 10-hsdpa.rules config file and I installed wvdial with ppp: all worked very well (I could also connect with Networkmanager). I also installed usb_switch and I used the driver installation for linux donwloaded from the manufacter http://www.ondacommunication.com/it/prodotti/o/28/MC503HSA-Coop?id_cat=2 (though the driver version was suitable only for old kernels).

I tried to repeat that kind of installation in Zenbook but it doesen't work.

The model recognized by Ubuntu is: ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM MF627/MF628/MF628+/MF636+ HSDPA/HSUPA

I show you the lsusb print:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:0139 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f2:b330 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd

(so, I modified 10-hsdpa.rules and wvdial.conf files with vendor:product)

I also ran that:

sudo rmmod usb-storage & sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x2000

usb_switch..

(and nothing changed...)

Then I ran sudo wvdial which showed:

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB3: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB3: No such file or directory
--> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB3: No such file or directory

Also networkmanager didn't work also creating a new specific connection of UMTS

I think the problem regards Usb3

... so What I should do?

[SOLVED] I've discovered the problem by myself. The wvdial.conf (under /etc) was wrong: Modem string was "/dev/ttyUSB3" instead of /dev/ttyUSB2". This is the best mode for connecting to the web with this UMTS modem key. Moreover I tried also sakis3g.sh: this good program was able to switch the modemkey correctly but only few times it was able to connect this one to the web.
