IPwireless PCMCIA (Sentech Mywireless) *ubuntu linux howto
This page provides instructions on how to install the drivers for a Sentech !MyWireless IPWireless pcmcia modem on Feisty Fawn. Currently there is two types of Mywireless IPWireless modems supplied in South Africa - PCMCIA (laptop) and USB/Ethernet (desktop). The USB/Ethernet modems are supported out of the box using either PPPOE or the r0dent's ipw driver so i will not dwell on that here. Now to the installation: Please ensure that you are within Sentech coverage, our if you have been using the Windows drivers then you should know your signal status already. The PCMCIA modem has two lights on it a red one that is always on and a full green or blinking green indicate good usable signal.
Installation
The installation involves building the experimental ipwireless_cs module and installing it. To do this you need the kernel headers, if you already have the kernel headers you can skip the next step.
Install kernel headers
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Download the Driver
Please NOTE these drivers are still in the early stage of development and are not yet in the mainline kernel. They work nicely for me how ever YMMV. http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jikos/ipwireless_cs/ You need to get :
ipwireless_cs-2.6.19_2.6.18.tar.bz2
This patch is also required to update the driver for the 2.6.20.x kernels
workq.patch
Extract and Patch :
tar xjvf ipwireless_cs-2.6.19_2.6.18.tar.bz2 cd ipwireless_cs-2.6.19_2.6.18 patch -p 1 -i ../workq.patch
Compile the driver :
make
Install the driver :
sudo make install
Test the driver
Insert your Mywireless IPwireless pcmcia card into the pcmcia slot, you should see the following in /var/log/syslog :
kernel: [ 9780.592000] pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 kernel: [ 9780.592000] cs: memory probe 0xd0000000-0xd03fffff: excluding 0xd0000000-0xd003ffff kernel: [ 9780.596000] pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 kernel: [ 9781.228000] PPP generic driver version 2.4.2 kernel: [ 9781.232000] ipwireless_cs 1.0.15-jikos2 by Stephen Blackheath, Ben Martel and Jiri Kosina kernel: [ 9781.232000] ipwireless_cs: Card type V1 kernel: [ 9781.232000] ipwireless_cs: I/O ports 0x3100-0x310f, irq 3 kernel: [ 9781.232000] ipwireless_cs: registering modem device ttyIPWp0 kernel: [ 9781.232000] ipwireless_cs: registering monitor device ttyIPWp8 kernel: [ 9781.232000] ipwireless_cs: waiting for card to start up... kernel: [ 9786.244000] ipwireless_cs: card is ready.
Configure dialer
kppp
Because i am using Kubuntu i used kppp to setup the connection, am sure you can use your favorite dialer to achieve the same thing.
create device link
The ipwireless_cs driver creates ttyIPWpx devices in /dev, since kppp does not list this device i created a link between /dev/ttyIPWp0 to /dev/modem0 as am already using /dev/modem for my 3G phone. This is done using the udev system. Edit the /etc/udev/rules.d/60-symlinks.rules file and add this:
KERNEL=="ttyIPWp*", SYMLINK+="modem%n"
configure kppp
- Start kppp -> configure
- Configure -> Accounts -> New -> Manual setup -> Connection name = SENTECH -> Phone number -> Add -> *99# -> OK -> OK
- Modems -> Device -> New -> Name == SENTECH -> Modem device == /dev/modem0
- Modem -> Modem commands -> Initialization string 2: AT+CGDCONT=1,"PPP","sentech.co.za","username,password",0,0 -> OK
- Select SENTECH connection and SENTECH modem and hit connect
- Enter your username and password
- With good coverage you should be connected in an instant
Command line PPP
These instructions are shamelessly stolen from the author of the usb IPWireless drivers page, They provided me with guide lines in setting up kppp about and am sure will help you setup any other dialer. Create a ppp peers file /etc/ppp/peers/sentech :
noipdefault /dev/ttyIPWp0 115200 defaultroute usepeerdns hide-password lcp-echo-interval 60 lcp-echo-failure 3 connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/sentech" noauth persist mtu 1400 user "xxxxx" maxfail 0 deflate 15
Create a chat script /etc/chatscripts/sentech :
TIMEOUT 30 ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "BUSY" ECHO ON SAY "Dialling sentech...\n" "" \rAT "OK-+++\c-OK" ATH0 OK ATZ OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"PPP","sentech.co.za","username,password",0,0 OK ATD*99# SAY "Waiting up to 30 seconds for connection ... " CONNECT "" SAY "Connected..."
Connect :
pppd call sentech
