I was just wondering if anyone has successfully setup their USB 3G Dongle on WiFi Pineapple?

I've just bought a Huawei E3131 on T-Mobile UK and just wondering what I would need to get from T-Mobile?

Would I just need to ask them for:

Interface Name:
Protocol:
Service:
Device:
APN:
Username:
Password:
Default Route:
ppp redial:
Peer DNS:
DNS:
Keepalive:
pppd options:

I would love to see maybe a sticky or a wiki link with everyones working setup. I can not get mine to work for nothing. kinda put it on the back burner for know but would love to get it going.

Very good suggestion.

I opened this https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/31166-recommended-21-mbps-hspa-3g-dongle/ thread 2 weeks ago but no satisfactory answers sadly :(

I bought the same model Huawei E3131 from T-Mobile, it looks like it comes with something called HiLink, after a bit of research on how to install E3131 with HiLink on OpenWrt I found that the only parameters needed are:

Try

Interface Name: eth1
Protocol: dhcp
It looks like it actually gets installed as a network card and no settings are needed.
Also the same thing with the E3231 from Three, it comes with HiLink, no other settings needed.
This site give me the clue :)

I have a Franklin Wireless U600, with virgin mobile for the ISP. I had to create a usb_modeswitch file, and copy it to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/ folder.

Here is my modeswitch file, named "1fac:0150"

# Franklin Wireless U600

DefaultVendor= 0x1fac
DefaultProduct=0x0150

TargetVendor=  0x1fac
TargetProduct= 0x0151

MessageContent="555342431234567824000000800108df200000000000000000000000000000"

I also had to add this to my 3g.sh file....

case "$MODEM" in

*1fac:0150* | *1fac:0151*) echo "Franklin Wireless U600 (Virgin Mobile) detected. Attempting mode switch"
        uci delete network.wan2

        uci commit network

        sleep 10; rmmod usbserial
        sleep 3; insmod usbserial vendor=0x1fac product=0x0151
        sleep 5; /etc/init.d/firewall disable; /etc/init.d/firewall stop
        logger "3G: firewall stopped"

So after I copied the 1fac:0150 file to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/ I then had to run my 3g.sh file (./3g.sh). I went into the networking infusion and pressed the update and redail links. After a reboot, my 3g starts up automatically if my modem is plugged in when booted. I had to flash my pineapple a few times and this process worked both times after.

I was able to figure this out thanks to Headros' efforts. Her post can be found here:

https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/29108-u600-virgin-mobile-usb-modem-configuration/?hl=franklin

This has worked for me for the mark 4 and 5.

Hope this helps.
