Add 3g Modem

[SgtPineapple]

Hmm, i can ping www.google.com just fine from the pineapple but wireless clients have no internet... Routing problem here?

Kernel IP Routing Table

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

default 10.64.64.64 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 3g-wan2

10.64.64.64 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 3g-wan2

172.16.42.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br-lan

Could it be possible that the pineapple is trying to route traffic through poe lan 172.16.42.42 port instead of 3g-wan2?? Internet works just fine on the pineapple but wireless clients have no internet :( Any pointers would be great!!

the main thing with newer huawei adapters is rather than modeswitching, inserting the relevant kernel module and forcing it to be a serial connection. you can check this with dmesg; but you should see some ttyUSB* appear if you have a 3g card inserted.

you can force the huawei card to go into the serial mode by using:

insmod usbserial vendor=0x<vid> product=0x<pid>

so if your lsusb returns:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 12d1:140c Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

then you need to do :

rmmod usbserial
insmod usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x140c
