3G - ZTE K3805-Z Issues

[Vanguard4893]

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?

Of course, sorry about that. The module has been added to the repository. Just run opkg update before trying again!

I hope now you can get your modem to work!

Best Regards,

Sebkinne

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. Attempting to connect"
			 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/ttyACM0
			 uci set network.wan2.apn=giffgaff.com
			 uci set network.wan2.username=giffgaff
			 uci set network.wan2.password=password
			 uci set network.wan2.defaultroute=1
			 uci commit network
sleep 2; rmmod usbserial
sleep 10; insmod usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x1003

All that needs installing is the kmod-usb-acm module & it then connects fine. It was a serial issue all along. :)
