WL500g + Novatel MC950D
Hi all
This is my situation:
I want to use my old WL500g with a 3G modem (Novatel MC950D) to give temporary and backup acces to the internet at home.
Steps I've already done:
1.- Install Koppel firmware v1.71 on top of an Oleg's 1.9.2.7.9
2.- Setup modem as GPRS/EDGE/UMTS
3.- Select device from ZeroCD as Novatel Wireless Ovation MC950D...
4.- Fulffil the rest of the data:
Username: (blank)
Password: (blank)
APN: (movistar.es)
Dial Number (usually *99***1#): (*99#
USB device serial speed (usually 115200): 115200
USB device location ID: 3
USB device Vendor ID (0xabcd): 1410
USB device Product ID (0xefgh): 4400
USB device packet size (0 for default): 2048
When I plug the MC950D is detected as a CD-ROM unit but not as a modem, output of dmesg:
hub.c: new USB device 00:04.0-1, assigned address 2
usb.c: kmalloc IF 809a5da0, numif 1
usb.c: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=4

In this context when I click on Connect the output of the system is the following one;

Looking for target devices
Found target devices (1)
Looking for default devices
No default device found. Is it connected? Bye
My perception is that the OS is not recognizing the USB device as a modem and doesn't launch anything.
Any advice to get it working?
