ppp and u3g with dlink dwm-222

mjl

Hello

I have a DLink DWM-222 revision A2 USB LTE modem, which according to

Mobile Broadband - DD-WRT Wiki

wiki.dd-wrt.com wiki.dd-wrt.com
supports serial & qmi.

I've added the necessary usbdev entries

https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=a75444c14304e63a3b0369d01c86a077e98fc9f9

and the AT interface appears to be on port 2, i.e., /dev/cuaU0.2 as I can type AT commands and get responses returned to me. I've configured ppp.conf as follows:

Code: 
vfnz:
 set device /dev/cuaU0.2
 set phone *99\#
 set timeout 0
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 10 CONNECT\\s150000000"
 set authname ""
 set authkey ""
 disable ipv6cp
 disable mppe
 disable vjcomp
 disable acfcomp
 disable deflate
 disable pred1
 disable protocomp
 disable lqr

I put the 150000000 after the connect expect clause because when I did this interactively with cu -l /dev/cuaU0.2 that was the string I got back from the modem.

I'm not having a lot of luck:

When I go back in with cu -l /dev/cuaU0.2 after ppp gives up, I immediately receive:

Code: 
[mjl@pi ~]$ sudo cu -l /dev/cuaU0.2
Connected
ATDT*99#
CONNECT 150000000

That is, for some reason, ppp is not getting the lines it expects, though the modem seems to be supplying them. This is probably something pretty basic in my configuration that I've done wrong. Any ideas?

Note: the modem does have the appropriate APN configured, so I elided it from my dial command:
Code: 
[mjl@pi ~]$ sudo cu -l /dev/cuaU0.2
Connected
AT
OK
AT+CGDCONT?
+CGDCONT: 1,"IP","vodafone","0.0.0.0",0,0

OK

Thanks.
 
try to set ATE0 in the init string
also set the chat script to look just for connect without baud rate
if it fails run ppp interactively
like ppp isp
term
if you connect type ~p
