I dont know whistle master I have just been using symbolic links to the sd card mnt/sda1, to be honest I didnt think of puttting another option in Fstab to mount it to /usb, but I will try it now Thanks for the tip :)

I fixed an error I made in posting the Fstab config I think I doubled pasted it in, Thanks billius for spotting that

This worked for me Huawei E160G 12d1:140c, however you cant use the 3g on boot option as the micro SD card needs to mount first, but adding the 3G connection script to whistle master's button module sorts that out :) /etc/usb_modeswitch.d /12d1:140c ( I renamed the 12d1:1003 file to 12d1:140c and edited it to) ######################################################## # Huawei E160G DefaultVendor= 0x12d1 DefaultProduct=0x140c TargetClass=0xff CheckSuccess=20 HuaweiMode=1 3G script *12d1:140c*) echo "Huawei Modem (3-IRL) detected.

After reading you post I decided to test my pineapple iv and I have the very same results, changing to channel 6 more than doubled the range of the wifi signal. could this be because of tx power been just 18 dbm ?

My E160 had an device id of 12d1:1003 but after I updated the modem firmware it gave me an id of 12d1:140c, as there was no usb_modeswitch file in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d for 12d1:140c I renamed the 12d1:1003 file to 12d1:140c and edited like so (using winSCP) ######################################################## # Huawei E220, E160, E230, E270, E870 DefaultVendor= 0x12d1 DefaultProduct=0x140c TargetClass=0xff CheckSuccess=20 HuaweiMode=1 Then using the web interface I edited the Mobile Broadband Configuration script under USB to (using my apn of 3internet as im in Ireland) *12d1:140c*) echo "Huawei Modem (3-IRL) detected. Attempting mode switch" uci delete network.wan2 uci set network.wan2=interface uci set network.wan2.ifname=ppp0 uci set network.wan2.proto=3g uci set network.wan2.service=umts uci set network.wan2.device=/dev/ttyUSB0 uci set network.wan2.apn=3internet uci set network.wan2.username= uci set network.wan2.password= uci set network.wan2.defaultroute=1 uci commit network usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 140c -V 12d1 -P 140c -M 5553424312345678000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000 -n 1 -s 20 sleep 10; rmmod usbserial sleep 3; insmod usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x140c sleep 5; /etc/init.d/firewall disable; /etc/init.d/firewall stop logger "3G: firewall stopped" iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 172.16.42.0/24 -o 3g-wan2 -j MASQUERADE iptables -A FORWARD -s 172.16.42.0/24 -o 3g-wan2 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -d 172.16.42.0/24 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -i 3g-wan2 -j ACCEPT This works well even with 3G on boot enabled. to get the micro sd working I followed Darren Kitchen's tutorial Enable Mass Storage With Swap Partition however if you use the 3G on boot option the micro sd card doesn't mount so you will have to use the force connection now option after the pineapple boots and the micro sd card mounts. reboot the wifi pineapple iv an leave out the dongle till you Update Fstab then after a couple of secs stick it in,once it shows in resources you can then enable the swap "Quote/ Darren Kitchen" b. Plug in the USB drive and wait a minute for everything to settle. c. SSH into the WiFi Pineapple (typically "ssh root@172.16.42.1") d. Issue "mkswap /dev/sda2" my micro sd card shows up as sda in /dev so my Fstab looks like this config global automount option from_fstab 1 option anon_mount 1 config global autoswap option from_fstab 1 option anon_swap 1 config mount option target /usb option device /dev/sda option fstype ext4 option options rw,sync option enabled 1 option enabled_fsck 0 config swap option device /dev/sda2 option enabled 1

Yes I have a e160 set up, where are you stuck

Sounds great Darren! I will be first in line to purchase one, I cant wait till I get the pineapple mobile for some inconspicuous Fun lol.

ok I got it going now it was simple in the end, the micro sd shows as sda in /dev, so all I had to do was change the line, option device /dev/sda1 to option device /dev/sda then I followed Darrens instructions and it worked perfectly

condor could you please share the steps you took to do this as im having no luck mounting my microsd in my huawei modem, i have the card formatted as per darrens instructions. Thanks

im new to the pineapple myself but i see in your script you have uci set network.wan2.proto=evdo should that not be uci set network.wan2.proto=3g did you edit and rename the file in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d you could try DefaultVendor= 0x19d2 DefaultProduct=0xfff1 TargetClass=0xff CheckSuccess=20 HuaweiMode=1 anyway thats how i set up mine only mine is a huawei 12d1:140c. then again if you look in /etc/chatscripts your evdo.chat file says ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT ERROR ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE' ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT DELAYED REPORT CONNECT TIMEOUT 10 '' AT OK ATZ SAY 'Calling CDMA/EVDO' TIMEOUT 30 OK ATDT#777 CONNECT '' so in your script it says uci set network.wan2.service=umts where it should say, uci set network.wan2.service=cdma you could try it anyway

whats your PID and VID number if its 19d2:fff1 if you look in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d you will see that there is no configuration file for 19d2:fff1, however if you look at 19d2:fff6 ######################################################## # ZTE "fff" devices 2 DefaultVendor= 0x19d2 DefaultProduct=0xfff6 TargetVendor= 0x19d2 TargetProduct= 0xfff1 MessageContent="5553424312345678c00000008000069f030000000000000000000000000000" CheckSuccess=20 you could edit the file to look like this, and then rename the file to 19d2:fff1, ######################################################## # ZTE "fff" devices 2 DefaultVendor= 0x19d2 DefaultProduct=0xfff1 TargetVendor= 0x19d2 TargetProduct= 0xfff1 MessageContent="5553424312345678c00000008000069f030000000000000000000000000000" CheckSuccess=20 it worked for me with a Huawei modem.

I changed the modem from a E220 to a E160G and changed service to umts, so far its been 30 mins without any drop outs. thanks for sharing Mr.miYagi.

I managed to get mine connected however it disconnects after 5 - 10 mins

ok I got it going now *12d1:1003*) echo "E220 HSDPA Modem (3-IRL) detected.

mine is also a Huawei but its a E220, ID 12d1:1003 same as yours, but i can not get it setup

how did you solve it im having the same problem
