[h=1]Vodafone 3G (UMTS) Linux HowTo[/h]
This HOWTO explains how to make a Vodafone UMTS/GPRS datacard work on a Linux Laptop. Everything you need to make it work has been grouped in this HOWTO. No need anymore to search the Internet for hours to get all the relevant information. Everything can be found here. All the commands and configuration settings hereafter are intended for my preferred ditribution: Fedora (Core) but I'm confident that they will be useable in other distributions as well.

Regular use - Connecting:
Before we dive into the configuration details, I want to show you how easy it is with Linux to connect to the Internet using an UMTS or GPRS mobile network. Only two (2) simple steps are required:

1. Launch the setpin.pl script (./setpin.pl) that you can download from this page.
2. Start KPPP and click Connect.

Remark 1: Don't forget to disable all other network interfaces or you will have routing problems.
Remark 2: Insert your Vodafone 3G card after you booted your system.

The command output and the next five screenshots will give you the full details:
Send the PIN to the Vodafone 3G card with the command:
# ./setpin.plIf the PIN is correct, you will get:
# ./setpin.pl
PIN accepted
#Next, start KPPP (Applications -> Internet -> KPPP).

​

​

On the KPPP main window choose your provider, when needed (not required for Proximus) provide a Login ID and a Password, and click on the connect button. The Connecting window pops up giving you the connection progress

​

​

followed by the Logon Script Debug window and

​

​

the Logon Terminal window. Click on the Continue button to make the connection.

​

​

Done, you are now conneted to Proximus.

​

​

You can now start your favorite browser and e-mail client.

When you want to stop click on the disconnect button.
Before you remove the Vodphone 3G card from its PCMCIA-slot, execute the next command to release it:
# pccardctl ejectWhen all the leds are off, you can remove the card.


Configuration details:
As Vodafone ships two (2) versions of 3G datacards under the same product name of Vodafone 3G, we need to find out which type you have so that it can be configured correctly.
Vodafone 3G card type?
After booting Linux, plug your Vodafone 3G card into a free PCMCIA slot, start as root a Terminal session (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and execute the following command:
# tail -20 /var/log/messagesDepending on your Vodafone 3G card type, the output should be similar to one of the outputs below:
# Vodafone 3G recognized as USB device
...
USB device 3 (vend/prod 0xaf0/0x5000) is not claimed by any active driver
...
# Vodafone 3G recognized as PCI device
...
Jan 22 20:12:24 Dell600 kernel: pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0
...Check the lspci output, to see if the Vodafone 3G card is recognized as a PCI device. Type the command:
# lspciYou should see a new Network controller line, similar to the one below:
# lspci output
...
03:00.0 Network controller: Option N.V. Qualcomm MSM6275 UMTS Chip
...If you want more information about the Vodafone 3G card, execute the lspci -n command. With 03:00.0 from the previous command as reference, you find the Vendor ID 1931 and the Product Code 000c. The command lspci -v will return, among other things, the IRQ used as well as the reserved memory range.
Setting up the hardware:
Next you need to install the hardware driver. Download the latest nozomi driver from www.pharscape.org or click here to download the 2.21-alfa version.
Remark 1: don't forget to register at PHARscape | Home or you will not see the download link.
Remark 2: version 2.2 will work on Fedora Core 5 but will return errors in more recent Fedora's. Therefor use version 2.21alpha.
Remark 3: you will have to compile (make and make install) the nozomi driver each time you install a new kernel.
Extract the package, when you saved it on the Desktop, by right clicking on it and choosing "Extract here" or by executing the command:
# tar zxvf nozomi_2.21alpha_060917.tar.gzIn the Terminal window, change into the nozomi directory with the command:
# cd nozomi_2.21alpha_060917For Fedora 7 kernel 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 and Fedora Core 6 kernel 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 up to 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 you need to apply a small fix to the nozomi.c file:
In line 1736 replace
INIT_WORK(&dc->tty_flip_wq_struct, tty_flip_queue_function, dc);
with
INIT_WORK(&dc->tty_flip_wq_struct, tty_flip_queue_function);Build the driver with the command:
# makeThe make script of version 2.21-alfa is able to install the kernel module in the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug directory and to load it with the 'modprobe' command. `uname -r` will be replaced with your kernel version e.g. 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7. Launch the command:
# make installShould the make install return errors, copy the nozomi.ko file to the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug directory with the command:
# cp nozomi.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug/and then, load the nozomi.ko driver with the command:
# modprobe nozomiCheck that the nozomi driver was loaded correctly with the command:
# lsmod | grep nozomiAfter the module has been loaded, there should be four (4) new devices called noz0 to noz3 in the /dev directory. Check this whith the command:
# ls -l /dev/noz?You should see an output similar to the one below:
# ls -l /dev/noz?
crw-rw---- 1 root root 241, 0 Jan 18 17:47 /dev/noz0
crw------- 1 root root 241, 1 Jan 18 17:45 /dev/noz1
crw-rw---- 1 root root 241, 2 Jan 18 17:45 /dev/noz2
crw------- 1 root root 241, 3 Jan 18 17:45 /dev/noz3
#The hardware setup is now finished. Before you setup the Point-to-Point connection for your service (operator), you'll need to set the PIN and test the hardware.
Setting the PIN:
To set the PIN, you can use a terminal program like minicom or use the Perl script setpin.pl. Download the script or copy the text below and copy it into a file named setpin.pl.
Remark: setpin.pl is a Perl script and therefor requires the Perl interpreter. Install it when needed.

Don't forget to change the value "1234" in my $pin = "1234"; to your PIN.
#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $modem = "/dev/noz0";

# Substitute 1234 with your PIN.
# You should probably put your pin somewhere else, e.g. on an USB stick,
# an encrypted file system or something else, and read it from there...
# You have been warned!
my $pin = "1234";

$SIG{ALRM} = sub {
die("timeout: no response from modem $modem\n");
};

open(MODEM, "+<", $modem) or die("can't open modem $modem");
alarm(10);

print(MODEM "AT+CPIN=\"$pin\"\n\r");
while (<MODEM>) {
if (m/OK/) {
close(MODEM);
print("PIN accepted\n");
exit(0);
}
if (m/ERROR/) {
close(MODEM);
print("PIN rejected\n");
exit(1);
}
}
Make the script executable with the command:
# chmod a+x setpin.plSend the PIN to the Vodafone 3G card with the command:
# ./setpin.plIf the PIN is correct, you will get:
# ./setpin.pl
PIN accepted
#Testing the hardware:
You will test the hardware with the program KPPP. As kppp does not recognize /dev/noz0, you need to create a symbolic link to the/dev/noz0 device. Execute the command:
# ln -s /dev/noz0 /dev/modemUnfortunately, does this symbolic link disappear when you remove the Vodafone 3G card or when you reboot the system, so you should write a script which checks that and creates the link automatically.
Users running Linux with Kernel-2.6.xx can download the file 52-3g-datacards.rules or copy the text below and paste it into the file. Put the 52-3g-datacards.rules file into the directory /etc/udev/rules.d/ and the symbolic link will be automatically created when you insert your Vodafone 3G card. The file is valid for both types of Vodafone 3G cards.
# Rules for hotplugging Cardbus 3G datacards
KERNEL=="noz0", SYMLINK="modem", RUN="/bin/sh /etc/dev.d/noz0/nozomi.dev hotplug", GROUP="dialout" MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="noz2", GROUP="dialout" MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="ttyUSB0", SYMLINK="modem", GROUP="dialout" MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="ttyUSB2", GROUP="dialout" MODE="0660"
Remark: Don't remove the PCMCIA card when it has not been released yet or you will damage your PCMCIA card slot of the Laptop. Release how to.
Start KPPP (Applications -> Internet -> KPPP).
Remark: The KPPP config file can be found in $HOME/.kde/share/config/kppprc.

Appendix A: Usefull modem (AT) commands:
To find out the manufacturer, type ati and hit enter.
The at+cops? tells you to which provider (Proximus) you are hooked on and to what network type (last digit: 2 = UMTS, 0 = GPRS).
To find out the signal strength, type at+csq. The first value will be between 5 and 22. For reliable connections it should be at least 12. We have 5.
You can set the PIN manually with the command at+cpin="1234". Don't forget to replace "1234" with your PIN and don't send more that twice a wrong PIN to your 3G card or the SIM will be blocked. You can unblock the SIM with the command at+cpin="12345678","5678". Where "12345678" is your PUK and "5678" is the choozen new PIN.
To set your preferred network preferences, use the command at_opsys=3,2. This will set UMTS as the preferred network, 0,2 force to connect to a GPRS network only, 1,2 UMTS only and 2,2 preferred GPRS.
The command at&v gives a listing of all currently active settings. The command at+clac lists all available AT-commands.

bro, mimi natumia zorin os 7 na mwanzoni nilianza kuhangaika nijue ile dashboard ya modem yangu itatokea vipi. Ila hauhitaji kuiinstall hiyo dashboard coz naona hawa jamaa wa zorin wamesharahisisha vitu vingi tofauti na distros zingine za linux.
1.Chomeka modem yako...
2.Ukiwa kwenye home screen, Right-click sehemu ya network(ina icon kama ya cable mbili ambazo hazijaunganishwa). Ipo chini upande wa kulia.
3. Utaona sehemu imeandikwa "enable mobile broadband"
4. Utaifungua hiyo na utafuata maelekezo. Ila kwenye sehemu ya apn uandike "internet".
Ukishaweka settings zote vizuri, restart comp yako.
5. Alafu right-click pale pale kwenye hiyo icon ya cable mbili zilizoachiana. Utabonyeza "enable mobile broadband" na itaconnect yenyewe.
So hauhitaji kutumia dashboard ya modem yako kwa zorin, ila kama utataka kuiona hiyo dashboard, basi fuata maelekezo ya hao wakuu hapo juu.

Mkuu Bingley na MziziMkavu Nadhani swali la mleta mada ni je ukisha kuwa connected tayari atawezaje kuselect WCDMA only au WCDMA preferred, GSM only au GSM preferred?
Maana ukiacha hivi hivi by default itakuwa inaselect automatic signal ambazo zipo strong, na kama ni EDGE ipo strong kuliko WCDMA inabidi uiforce kuselect WCDMA hata kama signal zipo weak kidogo

Thanks nyote kwa msaada wenu,kuhusu matumizi ya modem sasa hayanipi shida kabisa,I'm enjoying it ila ni kwamba hii os iko so much limited kwa uchache na ubora wa application zake mpaka imenibidi kufanya dual booting na window 8.

Thanks nyote kwa msaada wenu,kuhusu matumizi ya modem sasa hayanipi shida kabisa,I'm enjoying it ila ni kwamba hii os iko so much limited kwa uchache na ubora wa application zake mpaka imenibidi kufanya dual booting na window 8.

linux wana apps nyingi sana mkuu ila shida ni kwamba kuziinstall ni mwendo wa commands tu. Mm mwenyewe prog nilizoinstall ni zile za windows tu, kwa kutumia playonlinux.
Mimi pia nafanya mpango huo huo wa dual booting ili nijifunze hii taratibu. Maana mambo mengi mazuri ya windows yanapita hivi hivi
