Huawei ETS2556 connection problem in Ubuntu Gutsy
« on: November 30, 2007, 09:17:59 PM »
Help!!! I can't connect to the internet using my Huawei ETS2556 CDMA phone.

Its connected via a USB cable and works fine in XP but Ubuntu doesn't even detect the modem!
I already tried "sudo wvdialconf" with no results. Instead I got this:

"Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.
Port Scan<*1>: S1   S2   S3   S4   S5   S6   S7   S8
Port Scan<*1>: S9   S10  S11  S12  S13  S14  S15  S16
Port Scan<*1>: S17  S18  S19  S20  S21  S22  S23  S24
Port Scan<*1>: S25  S26  S27  S28  S29  S30  S31  S32
Port Scan<*1>: S33  S34  S35  S36  S37  S38  S39  S40
Port Scan<*1>: S41  S42  S43  S44  S45  S46  S47  S48
Port Scan<*1>: S49  S50  S51  S52  S53

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


I'm a 10 day linux veteran (i.e. newbie) so any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Its a fixed wireless terminal (FWT) cdma phone.
The Huawei website is completely useless and I tried googling it but got nothing.
I've been stuck using windows until I can get online in Linux. Besides manually downloading all those dependencies is a serious pan in the ass.
Please help.
