Go here and download the driver and the pppscripts file from : localhost/extract the files.
In a terminal
# cd lt;directory of sourcegt;
# tar #8211;zxf sierra.v.X.Y.Z.tar.gz
# cd sierra.v.X.Y.Z
Before installing the driver we need to patch the source with the modem uids. Quozl has done this many thanks Quozl for your excellent work you can be proud of your work. from : localhost/quozl.netrek.org/bp3-usb/

# make
# make install
Reboot and the driver should connect to the modem which in my system is /dev/ttyUSB1
We now extract the pppfile to /etc/ppp/peers

Hey Sharke,
In the line
# cd lt;directory of sourcegt;
# tar #8211;zxf sierra.v.X.Y.Z.tar.gz
# cd sierra.v.X.Y.Z
What was the directory you put it in.
Also are v.X.Y.Z the actual figures you put in or do you use sierra.v.1.0.3 as downloaded?
Also when you
Save and exit Patch now complete
We can now install the driver
# sudo cd /sierra directory
# make
# make install
what was the sierra directory?
Do you have to put a file name after make amp; make install?---This is not working for me.
Rosco
cd lt;directory of sourcegt; = cd to where you downloaded siera to . In my case cd Desktop/sierra.v.1.0.6.tar.gz
Then
tar -zxf sierra.v.1.0.6.tar,gz
This will create a folder called sierra.v.1.0.6 which has all the files you need.
open the sierra .c in a text editor and add the patch
This is my patched source file showing the bit where i have patched'

History:
v.1.0.6:klloydAdded more devices and added Vendor Specific USB message to make surethat devices are in D0 state when they start. This is very important forMC5720 and EM5625 modules that go between Windows and Non-Windows machines.
v.1.0.5:Greg KHThis saves over 30 lines and fixes a warning from sparse and allowsdebugging to work dynamically like all other usb-serial drivers.klloydChanged versioning to v.x.y.z
v.1.04:klloydAdds significant throughput increase to the Sierra driver (uses multipleurgs for download link). This patch also updates the current sierra.c driver so that it supports both 3-port Sierra devices and 1-port legacydevices and removes Sierra's references in other related files (Kconfigand airprime.c).
v.1.03klloydAdds DTR line control support and impliments urb control.

You add the lines that are not in your existing sierra.c

Hi Sharke,
I could not get the tar command to work, so I right clicked on the file and extracted it which produced the file sierra.v.106. I then edited sierra.c. I also reproduced the gsm and gsm-chat files.
Which directory is sierra.v.1.0.6 meant to finish up in?
When I did pon gsm I got an error related to the screts file (I can't remember the exact wording and the printer wouldn't print the terminal screen).
I wonder if doing tar puts the file in the drivers folder whereas extracting just puts it on the desk top.
If it needs to be in the drivers file how will i get the priveleges to allow me to do it?
Thank you,
Ross
rosco99
After patching the sierra,c file cd to sierra.v.106 yours may be slightly different
In terminal
make
after this completes with no errors
sudo make install
Then if you take a look at dmesg you should see the modem connected to the sierra module
Make sure you copy the ppp files into /etc/ppp/peers
Regards
Sharke
Hey Sharke,
Which directory does sierra.c occupy?
Ross
sierra.c should be in the sierra.v.1.0.6 folder and is only used by the make command to build the module dont move it.
Regards
Sharke
OK, so it doesn't matter where the sierra v.1.0.6 is located--the make command puts it in the corrct place? |
