Description Alex B. Bychko 2005-04-03 10:42:16 UTC
Connect to internet fails with USB-cable on Profilic 2303 chip

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
I just start connection. Then, I installed fresh system to another hard-drive and maked new kernel configuration with the same result.
Actual Results:  
I have installed gentoo-linux (linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r5) with udev.
Then the cable is plugged, my system makes device USB0 under /dev/tts/ with
major number 188 and minor number 0 and creates symlink "ttyUSB0" under /dev/. 

Wvdial says in log:

bash-2.05b$ wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.54.0
--> Cannot open /dev/tts/USB0: Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Cannot open /dev/tts/USB0: Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Cannot open /dev/tts/USB0: Cannot get information for serial port. 

Kppp says in log:

Mar 27 18:58:23 nerff pppd[12817]: pppd 2.4.2 started by nerff, uid 500
Mar 27 18:58:23 nerff pppd[12817]: Using interface ppp0
Mar 27 18:58:23 nerff pppd[12817]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/tts/USB0
Mar 27 18:58:26 nerff pppd[12817]: CHAP authentication succeeded
Mar 27 18:58:27 nerff pppd[12817]: LCP terminated by peer
Mar 27 18:58:30 nerff pppd[12817]: Connection terminated.
Mar 27 18:58:30 nerff pppd[12817]: Exit. 

Gscmxx works fine with my Siemens s45i and USB-cable- i can view my addressbook,
pictures and send sms, but I can't connect to internet.
With RS-232 cable connection works fine. And on Mandrake 10-10.1+USB it works.

Expected Results:  
Just make connection

pppd 2.4.2, kppp 2.2.0, wvdial 1.54.0, gentoo-sourses 2.6.11-5, udev-045

what net-libs/wvstreams version do you have? 
Comment 2 Alex B. Bychko 2005-04-04 08:21:24 UTC
It's wvstreams-4.0.1-r2. I have updated the version of the program after discussion of my problem at a forums.gentoo.org -

Comment 3 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-04 09:02:05 UTC
the "Cannot get information for serial port" message doesn't exist in wvstreams-4.0.1-r2.
are you sure you receive this message?
Comment 4 Alex B. Bychko 2005-04-04 18:47:21 UTC
Yes, it was before I update wvstreams.
Now in wvdial log I have:

Comment 5 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-04 22:08:17 UTC
you should set "Carrier Check" to false. also, setting stupid mode to true may help.
Comment 6 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-05 22:27:15 UTC
did you solved your problems?
Comment 7 Alex B. Bychko 2005-04-06 08:31:09 UTC
Yes, when I setting stupid mode to true, wvdial connects in about 60% times.
Comment 8 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-06 10:18:12 UTC
I'm setting this bug as invalid then
