3g kernel module found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058713

ok i got 3g to work but small problem... internet works in console and in browser... any other app doesnt see the internet... I'm a linux kind of guy so maybe I'm missing something on the android part...

How to:
Code: 
disable ZERO_CD on the 3g modem

put the modules from my other post in the root of /sdcard
put chat,ppp-start.sh,ppp-stop.sh in /system/xbin and give them execution permissions
go into /etc/ppp and make a directory "peers" 
put 3g in the peers dir you just created
in console type: 
su <enter>
ppp-start.sh <enter>

and done you should see the ppp0 interface

[B]PS: ttyUSB2 may need to be modified in 3g file depending on your modem...[/B]

Hi all, sorry for the noob question but how can I find out what 'ttyUSB2' should be changed to for my USB modem? I've got a Sierra Wireless USB 308 3G modem.

Cheers,

Julian

Does this require Root?

This seems like a function that could require root, also does this work with any carriers or just certain carriers.

Amazing idea and cannot wait to see how it plays out. It would be really cool if eventually an app was made for this, unlocking this feature. Good job.

its limited to what the option driver can use(https://github.com/Tiamat-AOSP/Xoom....36-honeycomb-mr1/drivers/usb/serial/option.c) check first couple of lines you will find there devices with device id that works with this driver and also limited to modems with usb-serial interface, carriers dont play any role in this... only modems...

If I'm reading this, the USB 3G dongles will work in the Acer Iconia? Not being extremely tech savvy, I'm not sure if once you're rooted you can install these drivers and use it, or if it's still in development by the XDA Gods.

Could you clarify if this is working?

Thanks
S :D

    Disable ZERO_CD on the Huawei 3g modem:

    Connect your USB modem to your PC, find out the COM port used by the modem and then connect via putty to the COM port and send AT^U2DIAG=0

    new system update, has no modversions, so modules are invalid

    mikelodean7 said:
    insmod: init_module '/sdcard/usb_wwan.ko' failed (File exists)
    insmod: init_module '/sdcard/option.ko' failed (File exists)

    Just a quick note, i read in another thread, that the new kernel update, uses a kernel without the the "modversion" added, so thesekernel modules needs to be replaced by new ones.

    "-00001-g9b3ce2b" this is no longer part of the kernel revision.

    Working setup: A500 (wifi) and Huawai 3G modem

    Hi everybody

    I did some experiments to get my A500 running with my Huawei 3G modem. After some pretty short nights, here my conclusions:

    • I only got it working with a custom ROM (I am using HoneyVillain 1.0.5, but others should do as well).
    • I needed to deactivate the cd-rom part of the 3G stick (for Huawei see here: h**p://forum.huawei.com/jive4/thread.jspa?threadID=324405)
    • PIN is disabled (I used a spare phone to do this)
    • the 3G modem seemed to work only after a reboot. After disconnecting the modem, it wouldn't start again.
    • To be able to use the 3G modem after unplugging and reconnecting, I wrote a small application that restarts the "ril-daemon". This could be done in a shell, but it's easier to use if you can do it with a single click.
    • The "restart-3g" application can be found attached to this post. Provided without guarantee. It's not very nice yet, but it works. ;)
