Hi,

what model is it??.

Regards Wolfman

it is HUAWEI ETS2077

Is it connected via USB? To know the exact model/ID as wolfman says, plug it in, open terminal and post here the results of:

Code:

lsusb

Hi Khalid,

I see your device listed so you might want to try using "ndiswrapper" to get it working, I am not an expert in WiFi sorry!. (Where is MV when you need him??):

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiD ... diswrapper

This link is quite detailed:

Is your on-board wireless lan switched on, if it is, you might try switching it off as it may be confusing the network manager!!.

You could wait for Zorin6 (I have read that with the latest kernel it may be recognised automatically) otherwise, I found out that you need to follow a, not so long, proccess.

Step 1
First plug in the hwuaei and run in terminal

Code:

dmesg -c

Look in the results and see if you will find an error message like the below:

ti_usb_3410_5052 1-1:2.0: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter detected
usb 1-1: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter now attached to /dev/ttyUSB0

If indeed you get this error message it means that your device is detected and so keep in mind the name used for detection (i.e. ttyUSB0).

If you get an error message like this:

ti_usb_3410_5052 1-1:1.0: TI USB 3410 1 port adapter converter detected
ti_usb_3410_5052: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -5

It means that your device is not detected so you need to create an new file as follows:

Open terminal and write

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/026_ti_usb_3410.rules

In the file that wiil open, copy and paste the following lines:

#TI USB 3410
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" ACTION=="add" SYSFS{idVendor}=="0451",SYSFS{idProduct}=="3410"
SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}=="2"
SYSFS{bConfigurationValue}=="1"
RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 2 > /sys%p/device/bConfigurationValue'"

Save and exit.

Then run again in terminal

Code:

dmesg -c

to check if actually your device is detected (and you get a message like the first one with the "ttyUSB0").

Step 2
You need to install wvdial
Open terminal and write

Code:

sudo apt-get install wvdial

After it is installed, open terminal again and write:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

And inside the file that will open copy the lines:

[Dialer Lacom]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 230400
Phone = #777
Init1 = ATZ
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
Username = “username”
Password = “password”
PPPD Options = crtcts multilink usepeerdns lock defaultroute

Note:
Change "Lacom" to your provider's name
Change the ttyUSB0 to the one that you got from your results (it may be tha same).
Change, if needed, the #777 to the code provided by huaei for Pakistan
Change the username and password to the ones provided to you for connection.

Step 3
Open terminal and write

Code:

sudo wvdial Lacom

(or change Lacom to the name you have written in previous step).
Normally the modem will be recognised but you will still not be in a position to connect to the internet becasue the DNS server addresses will not be correct.
So you have to open terminal and open the file:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

and copy/paste the primary and secondary DNS addresses that were shown during the first attempt of connection (as described above). The file should look something like this

mimosa.m-link.be 213.177.160.1 pollux.m-link.be 213.177.160.2

After doing this, open terminal and write again

Code:

sudo wvdial Lacom

(or the name you selected) and this time it should work.


Note: If after you run at step1 "dmesg -c" you find a completely different error message, copy and paste this error message here to check it.
