| Hi,

| I got a vodafone pcmcia mobile connect 3g/gprs datacard today. I tried it on
my laptop running 3.9-stable.
| Previously, I used a siemens connect 2 air cf card to connect via gprs
without problems and I used almost identical pppd scripts.
|
| With the vodafone card (actually from www.OPTION.com) I'm not able to make a
gprs connection as I get the following error after +/- 20 seconds:
| Apr 4 21:08:14 nc6000 pppd[22150]: pppd 2.3.5 started by didier, uid 0
| Apr 4 21:08:18 nc6000 pppd[22150]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyU0
| Apr 4 21:08:48 nc6000 pppd[22150]: IPCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
| Apr 4 21:08:54 nc6000 pppd[22150]: Connection terminated.
|
| Here is the (partial) output of "usbdevs -v":
| Controller /dev/usb4:
| addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x0000),
Opti(0x1045), rev 1.00
| port 1 addr 2: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, Vodafone Mobile Connect
Card - 3G(0x5000), Vodafone(0x0af0), rev 0.01
| port 2 powered
|
| Here is my pppd gprs script (this script works with the siemens card):
| /dev/ttyU0
| 115200
| defaultroute
| lock
| noauth
| debug
| connect '/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/peers/gprs.chat'
|
| Here is the gprs chat script (it works with the siemens card).
| ABORT BUSY
| ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
| ABORT VOICE
| ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
| "" ATZ
| OK AT+CPIN="xxxx"
| OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.pt.lu"
| OK ATDT*99***1#
| 'CONNECT' '\c'
| 'TIMEOUT' '5'

Try some more debugging on the chatscript. Change the pppd gprs script
to use the following :

        connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/gprs.chat'

Also try using

        kdebug 7

This greatly increases pppd debugging, both from the in-kernel ppp
driver and from the chatscript. Closely watch your logfiles and see
what you can find from there.

Cheers,

Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
