Option Icon 225 usb moden unable to run

Hi

I'm trying to connect this modem on slitaz 4.0 with no luck

I've tried already all methods (sakis3g, wvdial, manual modprobe i usbserial) and still unable to connect,

Is there any other methods to do this?

I've found this

http://www.pharscape.org/icon225.html

but have no idea how to install.

Can U help me handling with it?

Hi, I'm not very experienced at USB-modems on slitaz but I bet that you're using one of them modems with a built in memory storage, you'll need a USB-modeswitch or something like that to be able to separate the modem and memory.

http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/read-this-if-you-use-a-3g-modem-to-connect

Use sakis3g to switch the modem (it's under more options), then try connecting using gnome-ppp with the port sakis3g prepared for you.

Hsoconnect looks interesting. I'll see if I can get it to work

EDIT: Hmmm, seems you need to use the modprobe hso instead of option or usbserial. With Sakis3g this can be changed in /etc/sakis3g.conf - just change the default option to hso and save. Then try using Sakis3g to connect again.

Hi zapijsie,

Please, attach sources here or anywhere else. I can't read that forum, I see error table on pages that you link:

An Error Has Occurred!

Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!

Spamming

I HATE ANY IP BLOCKING !!! >:(

Or, can anyone teach me how to use public proxy?

+++

OK. I googled for proxy, used http://proxy.org/ and download these sources.

++++++

Attached here two packages. I not sure if all works. I slightly hacked conf file (tazweb as web browser and leafpad as text editor).

Do not forget to add your user to dialout group:

[c]# addgroup your_user dialout[/c]

But this not helps me to run program under tux user, so please correct me! Line from my /etc/group:

[c]dialout:x:95:tux,root[/c]

I run program as root:

[c]# HSOconnect
Path to hsolinkcontrol: None
Mode None
ERROR: hsolinkcontrol not found on $PATH - please install the hsolinkcontrol package
ERROR: hsolinkcontrol not configured for execution with sticky bit.
TRY: chmod +s <code>which hsolinkcontrol</code>
as root.
Warning: Your user name is not in the dialout group.
in ui.run()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/hsoconnect/hsoc/userinterface.py", line 1065, in menuitem_response
    if languages[ans[1]] == self.str['default_language']:
TypeError: list indices must be integers, not NoneType
.......[/c]
So I think we need hsolinkcontrol too (added converted hsolink...deb to tazpkg)

Re: Option Icon 225 usb moden unable to run

You don't need reboot your computer. Useful trick I found in the internet:

Reload udev rules without restarting udev

udevadm control --reload-rules

(you need root rights)

We have /sbin/udevadm in the package udev.
