From FON Wiki Beta

• Finally succeeded to run my 3G stick Huawei E169G on Tantor firmware.
• Unfortunately adjusting parameters in /etc/config/umts file was not enough to run it.
• Also modified /Apps/umts.lua
• Here is my config, running with ISP "three" in Ireland.

Contents 1 umtsd 2 umts.lua 2.1 Notes 3 /var/state/umts

umtsd

/etc/config/umtsd:

config 'umtsd' 'umtsd'
       option 'apn' '3ireland.ie'
#    option 'user' '3ireland'
#    option 'pass' '3ireland'
config 'umtsdstate' 'umtsdstate'
config 'umtsdevice' 'option12D11001'
      option 'vendor' 'Huawei'
      option 'device' 'E169G'
#    option 'data' '/dev/ttyUSB0'
#    option 'cmd' '/dev/ttyUSB0'

umts.lua

• file /Apps/umts.lua: modified section "some dummy data" like this

-- some dummy data
local data = "/dev/ttyUSB0"
local cmd = "/dev/ttyUSB0"
local type = "Huawei"
local user = ""
local pass = ""
local apn = "3ireland.ie"
local pin = ""

• Perhaps we can do more simple ;-) but just assigning "cmd" and "data" ports in /etc/config/umtsd doesn't seems to work for me.
• Then at each reboot the fonera2 can (auto)connect to internet

Notes

• "user" and "pass" variables are not mandatory to connect. Leave it blank
• Never use a PIN code for three.ie since PIN code is always registered.
• Number to dial with ATD command to connect three.ie is *99# but *99***1# defined in umts.lua is also running.
