Xt4xt1X Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Hi guys. I am a visitor of this forum since I owned my first Pineapple (Mark IV) but so far had no real use to register here - until now. I have seen that many of you have problems to configure their 3g modem connection, so I decided to write a small Howto for this in the next days. So far I will include the following topics: + how to figure out if you modem is supported + how to figure out the right connection settings + how to find out the necessary information to create you own usb_modeswitch configuration Are there any other points that you would like to have included? @Darren: Will try to make it detailed enough so you can integrate it into the Pineapple Wiki.

Sebkinne Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hi Xt4xt1X and welcome to the forums! May I suggest you take a look at our wiki page Darren is currently creating? Maybe you want to add to it. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xt4xt1X Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Ah, its going to get content. Last weekend the page was still empty. :) I will finish my howto and then will see how far Daren is with his content to combine it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunokhod Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) I've got a Huawei E173u USB modem that I'm dying to get working with my WiFi Pineapple... I will be following this thread with interest! Using a USB 3G modem is still quite foreign to me. I'm using this thread as a guide :- https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/26108-huawei-modems-with-a-pineapple-iv/ I hit a stumbling block trying to insert the kernel module root@Pineapple:/proc/tty/driver# insmod usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1436insmod: can't insert 'usbserial': File exists I'm fortunate that my wireless ISP does not use NAT and I have a static publicly accessible IP address... easy access to the Pineapple! ***EDIT*** Firmware v1.4.1 has fixed this problem. Please disregard! Lunokhod. Edited May 24, 2014 by lunokhod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
