I got a Select Wireless RW-200 USB cdma 1x EV-DO to work
It’s all thanks to Bakyt Niyazov
I’m visiting Phnom Penh, Cambodia for a few weeks. I obtained a Select Wireless RW-200 with an Excell 3G account for $48/month.
It did not work with Ubuntu 10.04’s NetworkManager, so I did a
$ lsusb and received:
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 05c6:0114 Qualcomm, Inc.
I googled for “05c6:0114″ and came up with his post, which is in Russian.
Then I made 3 files (I’m simplifying this):
Connect.sh,which I placed on my desktop and made executable (chmod +x Connect.sh):
gksudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x05c6 product=0x0114
sleep 3
gksudo pppd call gtel
gtel, which I placed in /etc/ppp/peers/
user "gtel"
password "gtel"
noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/gtel"
debug
/dev/ttyUSB0
921600
defaultroute
noipdefault
remotename gtel
ipparam gtel
usepeerdns
and another file named gtel which I placed in /etc/chatscripts/
'' 'ATZ'
SAY "ATZ sent\n"
'OK' 'ATE0V1&F&D&D2&C1&C2S0=0'
SAY "Init 1 sent\n"
'OK' 'ATE0V1'
SAY "Init 2 sent\n"
'OK' 'ATS7=60'
SAY "Init 3 sent\n"
'OK' 'ATD#777'
SAY "Dialing\n"
'CONNECT' ''
By simply double-clicking the Connect.sh file and putting in my ubuntu password, I get connected.
you can troubleshoot by running a:
$ tail -f /var/log/messages
and by running ifconfig, which yielded this for me:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol

I also did a $ sudo aptitude install usb-modeswitch but I don’t think that helped with anything.
