Re: Mobile broadband: Franklin CDU 680

[Noe Nieto <tzicatl gmail com>]

Hi,

The modem I have is a Franklin CDU-680. There are some details on this  link:
http://www.fklt.com/cdu-680.htm

So after a lot of googling and reading, I finally found a C code, someone kindly wrote to  set-up the modem into the right mode (RDEVCHG1)
Find it here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=682596

I had to make one change to the ioctl call so the program could do the job. After that, the "mobile broadband" entry was available on nm-applet. Incredibly easy!!

I was wondering if it's possible to integrate that code into nm so people finds it even easier to use this CDU-680 modem without having to run special commands?

Maybe I can talk to the guy that wrote the program to see if his code can be includen in nm?

Noe.

Hi,

What make and model are the 3 USB modems that you are using?

Kind regards, Nicholas

Hi there.

I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty with nm 0.7.0.100. I have some of these mobile
broadband USB modems that I'm trying to make it work on ubuntu.

The carrier is Iusacell (Mexico). I see that some support for this
carrier was added to mobile-broadband-provider-info on October 2008 (
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-October/msg00366
.html
).

In fact, I can see the carrier when I run the connection assistant: I
select "Iusacell" from the lists of carriers, click accept and nothing
happens.

The modem is being detected as ttyUSB0.

What else do I need to do to make it work?

Regards,

Noe nieto
