USB serial high speed patch

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if one of the wizards here could give me hand in compiling a patched usbserial module that supports high speed HSDPA/UMTS devices such as the Huawei E220 HSDPA dongle sold by Vodafone. The patch is very simple, it's described at http://www.junxion.com/opensource/li...usbserial.html . I've tested it on an X86 system with a Huawei E220 USB modem and the results are pretty amazing, the download speed goes up from 30K/second (240kbps) to about 120K/second (960kbps). That's 4 times the non-patched speed.

A patched module would allow you to connect HSDPA or EVDO modems and use them at full speed.

As a side note, I've tried compiling the patched module myself on the device itself (I have the toolchain installed) and it does compile but when I insert it I get the following:

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Or could someone apply the patch and compile the module for me/us ?

Thank you,

Ok, how do I set up a bounty? Looks like nobody wants to do this for free, so I'm willing to pay someone to compile a working module for me. The module would need to work on Oleg's latest firmware and contain the patches described above. If you can do it, name your price and preferred payment method.

Do you need this for original wl500g or deluxe or perhaps premium box?
06-12-2006, 20:42
drazvan

Preferably for the Premium although my Premium has just died so I'm left with a Deluxe to test on. Does it make a difference?

Thanks Oleg but it doesn't appear to work. It doesn't seem to recognize the maxSize parameter (that is supposed to be added by the Junxion patch)

[admin@Asus root]$ insmod /tmp/local/root/usbserial.o vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003 maxSize=2048
insmod: invalid parameter maxSize

If I try to simply insert it without that parameter, I get a Segmentation Fault and this in the dmesg:

Doesn't work.

I have a Asus WL-500g Premium and are also having problems with the slow usb. I can't seem to get my HSDPA modem to go faster then 30KB/s.

I tried the usbserial.o driver that was posted here, but i got the same problem as the topic starter. I also can't give any maxSize option to the module.

I am using oleg WL500gp-1.9.2.7-7f. Does anyone have a usbserial.o for me
with the correct (maxSize) patch.

Thanks!

So, any takers for the bounty? I'm still interested in getting that module patched by someone who knows how to do it and is interested in getting paid for it too.

Thanks,

Ok. I take it. Here is the patched module. Here seems to work ok (no segmentation fault). Using 1.9.2.7-7f and wl-500gd. I couldn't test if it really work because I haven't got any device to do it.

Thank you Daniel but unfortunately it does the exact same thing as Oleg's try:

You're right, if the device is not plugged in it doesn't mind (doesn't segfault) but when the message above pops up when the device is plugged in ... could this somehow be a hardware issue with the dongle itself? I doubt that it's my router that's doing this, others seem to be reporting the same thing. What I don't get is how come the original driver works... could the patch break things up so badly? It looked like a really simple patch to me...

BTW, I think you could try it with any USB modem dongle, just do "insmod usbserial vendor=<your vendor> device=<your device> maxSize=2048". If it doesn't segfault, that's good.

R.
09-12-2006, 21:43
danielb

Sorry, I haven't got any USB modem dongle at hand so I couldn't test it myself.
So, could you try using as maxSize the value of 64 instead of 2048?
And if it works, could you try again with 128, 256, 512 and 1024?
09-12-2006, 21:56
drazvan

Same thing unfortunately .... I've tried 1024, 512, 256, 128, 64 and even 0. I've also tried to leave out the parameter altogether (no maxSize at the end). The same oops .... I'm really lost :(.

Razvan
09-12-2006, 22:11
danielb

That's really strange. With 64 as the maxSize value, it should work exactly like the the unpatched usbserial.o ......because the unpatched usbserial.o works, doesn't it? Have you tried it?.
Because if it also fails, the problem is not in the patch but in other place.
Could you confirm me that the unpatched (and slow) usbserial.o works?
10-12-2006, 00:13
drazvan

Yes, I can confirm that the unpatched usbserial.o (the one that comes with the firmware) works just fine (slow but fine). Which leads me to think that there's a problem with the way we are compiling it. Even the version that Oleg sent (that didn't seem to have the patch applied) exhibited the same problem. What could cause this? How is that module compiled (differently from how you compiled it)?

Razvan

P.S. Would it help you if I sent you the binary of the module that I currently use? You can probably get it anyway from the firmware but maybe it could help, I don't know.

Yes, it is really weird. But knowing that the "original" one works, helps a lot.
Could you test this one? It is based on the original one and has no "maxSize" option, but the buffer size is modified to be bigger, so in theory it should work as fast as the patched usbserial.o

is this usable for "WL-500g" also? Any "USB1" speed improvement?

Yes it should work with a wl-500g as well as in a deluxe or a premium. As the USB 1.1 could get up to 12Mb/s, the limit in this case will be more the CPU than the USB port.
Just remember this module is only for usb modems or similar, not for USB storage devices!

Hello again,

Sorry for the delay in testing this, had a busy day at work. Unfortunately the latest module does the exact same thing when inserted:

--------------------

Once again, this happens at the time the modem is inserted, not when the module is insmod-ed. Something is definitely wrong and I'm not sure what that is.

When I use the builtin module, I get this:

usb.c: registered new driver serial
usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Generic
usbserial.c: Generic converter detected
usbserial.c: Generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)
usbserial.c: Generic converter detected
usbserial.c: Generic converter now attached to ttyUSB1 (or usb/tts/1 for devfs)
usbserial.c: Generic converter detected
usbserial.c: Generic converter now attached to ttyUSB2 (or usb/tts/2 for devfs)
usbserial.c: USB Serial Driver core v1.4
usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for PL-2303
pl2303.c: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver v0.11

I'll try to put the machine on the open Internet so that you can take a direct look at it. Thanks for the effort, I really appreciate it.

well, if this one also fails, that rules out the compiling problem, I think.
Time to think in other alternatives. And having access to the machine will be handy, thanks.

Hi,

is there any progress with compiling usbserial module for Hueawei E220? I have this modem and have the same problem with connection to Internet via Asus WL.500g

Sorry, no progress right now. Drazvan vanished since my last post and as I haven't got a suitable modem I couldn't test what is wrong and fix it.

PS: you could test the last module I attached to this thread. It is very unlikely it could work but, who knows, perhaps you are lucky and it works ok with your hardware.

Hi,

I will test it, but, please, can you give me a detail instruction how can I copy your module to the router.

And what firmware should I use for the testing?

Thanks.

Use firmware 1.9.2.7-7f
To load this module, just copy it to a usb stick or harddisk.
By default, any usb storage device is mounted in /tmp/harddisk
so, if for example, you got the module in "module" folder, just write this in your asus shell prompt:
insmod /tmp/harddisk/module/usbserial.o
That's all.
Good luck!

Hi,

I loaded Oleg's firmware, downloaded module, logged to Asus router, did insmod.
After hitting enter, nothing happened. ( I don't know, if it is ok)

Than I connected modem to usb port of the router.

When I checked System log in Status and Log I saw only one line:

Jan 1 00:11:55 kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:04.0-1, assigned address 4

Nothing more. If there is also other log, please, write me, how can I access it.

Additionally, I wanted to test connection, but I don't know, where to put login settings.

Can you write me, where I shall put such settings as APN and dial number and also as I will connect.

I previously downloaded firmware from this page: http://koppel.cz/cdmawifi/NewFW166.

They have created graphic interface to connect UMTS modem (unfortunately it is not working for Huawei modem).

I also tried to install usbserial.o module using this firmware, but insmod gave me a message, that usbserial module already exists.

I don't know, how can I overwrite a module with your one (once it is possible)

I'm sorry, I'm only a normal user and has no linux knowledge

Sorry, the firmware with working UMTS grafic interface can be downloaded from here http://koppel.cz/cdmawifi/download/163/. It supports ZADACOM modem connection, but Huawei. As I read on the forum, with ZADACOM, they can connect to internet with full speed. Their firmware is based on version 1.9.2.7-7f, so maybe it will be easier to test it with your usbserial module. Just let me know, how to load your module to Asus with their firmware.

Sorry guys, I didn't disappear altogether, we just switched platforms, we're now using an x86-compatible embedded system, it was way easier to simply compile or get precompiled Linux x86 drivers. This whole Asus/MIPS compilation and testing process was simply taking too long and we needed to get our product out faster. I no longer have the Asus router so I can't really help with the tests.

Cheers,

I got the Huawei E220 working at full speed!

I felt that I had to reply, because I couldn't find a solution anywhere on the net and there must be someone that still have this problem.

This is how I got the Huawei E220 to work at full speed (3.6 / 7.2 Mbit/s). No patches are needed, just configuration.

I flashed the wl-500gP with http://koppel.cz/cdmawifi/download/166/

* In Connection Mode (USB Connection) I choose Dial-Up and entered the vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003 and to dial *99#.

It now works but max out at 20kb/s.

* Now change the connection mode to User Defined.

* Telnet to the wl-500gP.

* Copy the files from /tmp/ppp/dialup to /usr/local/dial.

* Alter the file /usr/local/dial/update, replace "/tmp/ppp/dialup/" with "/usr/local/dial/"

* Alter the file /usr/local/dial/dial at row 6 to
"insmod usbserial vendor=$(nvram get dialup_vid) product=$(nvram get dialup_pid) maxpacketsize=4096"
(I think this is the trick, the maxpacketsize)

* Alter the file /usr/local/dial/dialup. Replace "115200" with "921600". (dunno if this is important)

That's it.

To save it all.

flashfs save
flashfs commit
flashfs enable

and

reboot

Now in the system log:
Jan 1 00:00:44 kernel: usbserial.c: Generic converter detected
Jan 1 00:00:44 kernel: usbserial.c: Buffer size for bulk_in is 4096 modem reports 64
Jan 1 00:00:44 kernel: usbserial.c: Buffer size for bulk_out is 4096 modem reports 64
Jan 1 00:00:44 kernel: usbserial.c: Generic converter now attached to /dev/usb/tts/0

I now max out at 650kb/s. Much more pleasant :)

Hi, first of all thank you for your tutorial.

Could anyone please explain (even in more detail) how to change mode to "user defined" and all commands that must be given to increase the speed of the connection.

I done the first steps of the previous procedure but i stoped here:
"(...) * Now change the connection mode to User Defined (...)"

Sorry about the question but i dont understand almost anything about this subject.
The telnet commands could be done using DOS prompt line? Could you plz tell me what must typed exactly?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the configuration files.

The problem is that i'm really a noob, dont know anything abou linux, programming etc... and still want to use Huawei E220 with Asus WL500gp.

I'm a windows xp user that have putty but dont know anything about the commands that must be given to place the files in router or do the configuration, i just know how to login via telnet :P

Anyone could give me the exact sequence of the commands that i must execute (please have in mind that i havent done anything else after install the firmware). If putty is apprpriate for this? This should be very basic for you but for me it's a dead end.

Thanks.

Used System Setup > Flashfs Management and upload the *.tar file gently given by xipbox on Asus WL500GP but problem persists.

On the log:
usbserial.c: Generic converter detected
Jan 1 01:00:07 kernel: usbserial.c: Buffer size for bulk_in is 64 modem reports 64
Jan 1 01:00:07 kernel: usbserial.c: Buffer size for bulk_out is 64 modem reports 64
Jan 1 01:00:07 kernel: usbserial.c: Generic converter now attached to /dev/usb/tts/1

Speed is still limited to 250Kbps :confused:

Please advise.

Cheers.

Finally understand how to import files correctly...

I found a new problem:
On my dial up connection username and password cannot be null
Coreect data:
Username: vodafone
Password: vodafone

Can anyone create me a new *tar file with these data, please.

Thanks.

High speed HSDPA via Huawei E220 and ASUS WL-500*
Running solution:
1. Download latest firmware from http://koppel.cz/cdmawifi/download/
  . Flash it by web admin interface "Firmware upgrade".
2. After restart of Asus choose through the web interface "USB Connection" -> * "User defined".
3. Upload attached file dial.huawei.tar.gz on "USB Connection" -> "User Dial-Up Files".
4. Setup your provider username/password/apn/number in "USB Connection" -> "User Dial-Up Config". Get that info from your provider or maybe down on this page
