Hi guys,


I have some trouble with my 3G dongle. When i have a successful connection with my Huawei dongle and i disconnect, it is impossible to reconnect again. Even reboot of the router does not fix that. Only when i unplug the dongle or power down my router can i make a new connection..

I'm out of ideas. Is there anyone that has the same problem?

/etc/config/network

config 'interface' 'isp3'
    option 'ifname' 'ppp0'
    option 'proto' '3g'
    option 'device' '/dev/ttyUSB0'
    option 'apn' 'office.vodafone.nl'
    option 'username' 'vodafone'
    option 'password' 'vodafone'
    option 'service' 'umts'
    option 'demand' '300'
    option 'pppd_options' 'noipdefault'

Yes, i have. It was necessary to get the 3g dongle working in the first place. It correctly switched from 12d1:1520 to 12d1:1465.

Turns out that the standard chat script didn't work for me. I found some other scripts on the net and did a mix and match. With the below script I can reconnect, in case somebody has the same problem.

/etc/chatscripts/3g.chat

ABORT   BUSY
ABORT   'NO CARRIER'
ABORT   ERROR
REPORT  CONNECT
TIMEOUT 20
""      "ATZ"
OK      "ATE1"
OK      'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","$USE_APN"'
OK      "ATD*99***1#"
CONNECT ' '

Thanks for the update. ATZ is usually preferred to AT&F which is in the default script.

The discussion might have continued from here.
