EMobile D02HW Modem

Finally the time to return “the free” emobile modem came So I applied for a new one and bought the i-thought-to-be-the-same-modem. It was the same shape usb modem. But when I got back home and used it, my Mint could not detect the modem. It detected the modem as mass storage device. Looked at the modem carefully, it was different! It’s a new version. Ossa’s modem was D01HW, while the new one is D02HW

By “uname -a” I found that my Mint was using kernel 2.6.22-14-generic. So hoping to be able to use the modem, I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.22.15-generic. Well it worked, from “dmesg” I noticed that my Mint could detect the modem and attached the device to ttyUSB0.

[ 9606.768000] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
[ 9606.928000] usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 9606.932000] option 4-1:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
[ 9606.932000] usb 4-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0

But i still could not connect to the internet, it still returned “Modem is not responding” From the fabulous Mr. Google Japan, I bumped to this site. I followed the instruction and executed the following:

sudo modprobe -r uhci_hcd
sudo modprobe uhci_hcd

Then i plugged in again the modem, and from “dmesg” I got:

[10245.856000] usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[10246.016000] usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

[10246.024000] usb 4-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2

I opened gnomeppp, set the configuration to:

phone number: *99***1#
Deveice: /dev/ttyUSB0
Type: USB Modem
Speed: 460800
Phone Line: tone

And it worked!　よかった!:)
