WL-500gP with 3G USB Modem and Oleg's Firmware

Excellent!

But no cigar yet , since there is one but..

Every now and then (read: often) when E220 goes to the "Jan 1 02:02:18 pppd[207]: In file /tmp/ppp/peers/gprs: unrecognized option '/dev/usb/tts/0'- state", pppd disappears and cannot be killed. It is not shown with ps and killall says: no process killed.

We would need to check somehow if the pppd can be killed or not, and if that is not possible then go to stronger action like reboot. E.g. greping the killall response could be the switch.

Kiillall or rebooting dependent to running pppd is included in the new watch_wan - have done it on the fly - anyway thx for suggestion.
Have not tested yet, will do it in the late afternoon......

But what I've done so far:
Covered several times my modem with my hand until connection is lost -
within some seconds, connection is back again.
What remains:
unplug usb cable and check what happens with the new script

Edit: A check shows, when starting watch_wan in postboot with '/tmp/local/sbin/watch_wan &'
the script detects a not running pppd and is calling for reboot.
A sleep 60 right before 'while [true ]' solves this, because the modem is up and pppd is running within the 2 minutes.
Further, this happens just first time of calling script as it's outside of the endless loop - therefore it has no negative influence.

Now cigar.
