Many thanks guys, that did it. I can now successfully get a 3G connection. For reference, here is my config: *19d2:1003*) echo "ZTE K3805-Z HSDPA detected.

It was a serial issue all along. :)

Hey guys, on hearing about the stable v2.8.0, I've upgraded my Pineapple, yet now the package cannot be found at all in the repo: root@Pineapple:~# opkg update Downloading http://cloud.wifipineapple.com/packages/2.8.0/Packages.gz. Updated list of available packages in /var/opkg-lists/snapshots. root@Pineapple:~# opkg install kmod-usb-acm Unknown package 'kmod-usb-acm'. Collected errors: * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-usb-acm. Could this package possibly be added?

Not a problem pal, I can wait a while until a stable version is released. Cheers for all the assistance so far folks.

I have found a thread on another forum (in Polish), that has got this modem working with OpenWRT. However I cannot install the module they used, due to a kernel version mismatch. Here's the thread: http://eko.one.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2748 And here is what I get when I try to install the module: root@Pineapple:~# opkg install kmod-usb-acm Installing kmod-usb-acm (3.7.9-1) to root...

Yes it's mounting the disk, but it's definitely modeswitching automatically to the modem section as what happens on my laptop when I plug in the modem is mirrored on the Pineapple, all apart from connecting of course :) (The modem identifies at first with :1001 as the second part of the USB ID & then modeswitches to :1003). If I issue a modeswitch command on the Pineapple I get this: Looking for default devices ... found matching product ID adding device Found device in default mode, class or configuration (1) Accessing device 005 on bus 001 ... Getting the current device configuration ... OK, got current device configuration (1) Using interface number 0 Error: message endpoint not given or found. Aborting I shall take a look at your link to see if that is of any help. :) Power is provided by a USB battery pack, Capable of 2A output at 5v, directly to a custom USB-Extension, as well as powering the Pineapple, so bypassing the internal Pineapple 5v regulator for it's USB port. (When run from a 5v supply, the Pineapple's USB voltage is around 4.7v).

Thanks for the suggestions webdirector, however it's still not having any of it :) I tried the username & password my laptop use before, to no avail. With my own script modified with your first post's changes, i get this returned: root@Pineapple:~# /pineapple/3g/3g.sh Searching for attached 3G Modems 19d2:1003 1d6b:0002 ZTE K3805-Z HSDPA detected.

Getting the current device configuration ... OK, got current device configuration (1) Using interface number 0 Error: message endpoint not given or found. Aborting As far as I know the modem I am using doesn't require a usb_modeswitch command, as the kernel seems to do this automatically when it's plugged in.

Gave that a try, unfortunately it didn't work either. Damn.

You're not the only one :D Hopefully there's someone out there that will be able to answer my issue, these modems are very common in the UK, so it shouldn't be long until something can be sorted. It seems though that there's nobody else using the Orange network on these forums, I may try with a different carrier. :)

I'm on the dev version 2.7.7, yeah it's the correct number, but I can't seem to find out how to tell the script to dial it, unless that's something the modem itself takes care of. :)

Also, if it helps, this is what happens when I plug the device in & attempt to connect.

Gave that a try, unfortunately it's a no-go. In the settings on my laptop, it's there's a number it appears to be dialling, (*99#). Is there an option for this that I can add? Also, even though the Orange website specifies a blank username & password, in the APN settings on the laptop, they are both set to "orange". (I have tried adding those auth details as well, but still no go).

I'm certain that they're supposed to be blank, i've even tried empty quotes ('') as that worked for another forum member here on 3 Mobile in the UK, but alas it's still not connecting.

Those fields are supposed to be blank, as per the carrier's instructions :)

Hey folks, just a quick query regarding 3G. I have a ZTE K3805-Z USB modem (UK), which the Pineapple seems to find OK, but cannot connect. A search reveals another user with a very similar modem, but I cannot seem to get this working no matter how much tweaking I do. A generic Google search also reveals little about getting this working in terminal in general. My APN settings are correct, but the 3G connection script appears to do nothing, just the "attempting to connect" message, but it doesn't bring the network up. Does anyone else have this modem or perhaps be able to provide some tips on getting this working?
