I finally got the usb modem to work.
After seeing that it begins to be more people asking about how to get puppylinux to work with the new usb-dongles, I decided to do a new try with the newest versions that I could find. I asked another one who had got his to work and he was so kind to reply to me. But unfortunately his setup didnt work for me. Thanks alot for the quick reply anyway
I also found a good guide in a norwegian forum and it was from that norwegian guide that I finally found the combination that works for my globesurfer in puppylinux.
So, in puppylinux version 4.1.1 with devx_411.sfs, and for Globesurfer Icon 7.2, this is what worked:
1. Save a frugal installation on the harddisk.
2. Add the devx.sfs in bootmanager
3. Reboot
4. Download usb_modeswitch-0.9.5.tar.bz2
5. Extract the usb_modeswitch package.
6. go to terminal and type
Code: Select all
gcc -l usb -o usb_modeswitch usb_modeswitch.c
8. Put the file usb_modeswitch.conf into /etc and edit with geany to the number your usb dongle uses. In my case with globesurfer icon 7.2, I changed to the text for globesurfer icon 7.2 (adding the ; where the first globesurfer model lines is and removing the ; where my globesurfer model is).
Code: Select all
DefaultVendor= 0x05c6
DefaultProduct= 0x1000
TargetVendor= 0x0af0
TargetProduct= 0x6901
MessageEndpoint=0x05
MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000601000000000000000000000000000000"
10. Installing gnome-ppp-0.3.23-1.pet
11. Reboot
12. Typed in terminal the word usb_modeswitch - it found one productdevice.
13. Typed dmesg - I saw there it had switched the modem from usb-storage to ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2
14. Then I went to gnome-ppp and added the phonenumber for my usb dongle in username and password and then
*99#
where it says phonenumber
15. I hit connect just to test it, expecting that I would have to edit the wvdial.conf file. To my big surprise it connected.
The end.
PS: I dont know how to change title of thread to "Solved"??
