 Posted: Thu May 21, 2009 2:24 pm Post subject: Verizon USB727 + Ubuntu Problems |
 |
|
So I looked around and tried abunch of diffrent things to no avail, ontop of blacklisteing airprime, and using usbserial instead. I'm using Verizon USB727 on Ubuntu using WvDial to connect, but I keep geting disconnected every 30-50 seconds, sometimes I'm lucky it will stay up for hours, others, not so lucky and itll disconnect everytime it connects. I'm using it in a strange way though, Its my main source of internet on my network.
My Network Diagram looks like:
<pre>
Verizon USB727
| (ppp0)
Ubuntu Server
| (eth0)
D-LINK Wireless Hub (Disabled all DHCP and connected to LAN port not WAN)
/ | \ (Wireless)
Ubuntu Windows XP Windows Vista
<pre>
my wvdial.conf files looks like:
| Code: | [Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Phone = #777
Username = ****@vzw3g.com
Password = vzw
Stupid Mode = on
Auto Reconnect = on
Carrier Check = no
[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0
[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP
|
wvdial output:
| Code: | --> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ

--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

--> Try again and look into /var/log/messages and the wvdial and pppd man pages for more information.

If you upgrade to 8.10 or 9.04 it will probably just work.
In 8.04 I used an USB720 with WVdial or whichever with a short look on Google. Most posts say different things, just back upi each file you change first. When one doesnt work, replace the files and try the others.
With 8.10 my USB720 just worked under the network icon.
Can you upgrade?

| I can try running the upgrade, I use all command line with the one connecting to the internet using SSH from the computer I'm on now, since it is my server, I run iptables on it for forwarding to other computers, and there is no keyboard/mouse monitor on it, so I can't use the GUI |

Try upgrading or just a clean install. I'm telling you there is a world of difference in 9.04. My Sprint Pantech PX-500 worked right out of the box. I didn't have to configure anything. Right up there with the wireless connection "Mobile Broadband" was listed. I clicked on it and my card was connected. It was amazing. I've never seen a linux distro do this before, and I've tried a lot of them, even earlier ubuntu builds. They have it down perfect with 9.04 |

Yup, 8.10 did it like that also with my USB720. Actually haven't tried it out on my 9.04 install yet.

Did you install software to do it? Or did you select from the network icon near the clock?
