vodafone mobile connect/K3565-H on 11.1 SuSE

English Hardware

Hi, I am trying to start betavine driver vodafone-mobile-connect-2.10.01 under SuSE 11.1, but I still cannot satisfy all package references. I installed following packages:

python-tz-2006p-1.1
ozerocdoff-0.4-1
usb_modeswitch-0.9.7-1
python-sqlite-2.5.5
python-sqlite2-2.5.5-1.1
python-twisted-conch-8.1.0-1.37

I also linked pytz versions:
ln -s /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pytz
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pytz

and exported
export PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/:$PYTHONPATH"

Then after calling
vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux

I receive an error:
No module named Crypto.Cipher
Now I cannot install: python-crypto-2.0.1-29.6 package as it demands lower Python version. How can I satisfy these references on 11.1 SuSE ?

Is this easier on 11.2 ?

Thank you in advance for any help.

There is a suse version - go to Software.openSUSE.org, choose your distro/version and search for vodafone.

Hi whych, thank you, this helped to Crypto.Cipther, but now /usr/sbin/vmc-huawei.sh says: Module airprime not found
I don’t have such a module in my 2.6.27.7-9-default kernel

Do a google on airprime kernel module and see where it gets.

Ok, I guess the last error has something to do with GConf, as it appearas only with KDE and not with gnome. Possibly gconfd is not started. But now another error appears:
The betavine icon appears with “initial setup” stopping in the middle. Also the “device selection” window seems to be ok, but nothig happens. The last message reads:

File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/twisted/python/components.py”, line 90, in registerAdapter
raise ValueError(“an adapter (%s) was already registered.” % (factory, ))
exceptions.ValueError: an adapter (twisted.internet.protocol.ProtocolToConsumerAdapter) was already registered.

No web communication (ping) is possible. I also don’t know where to put my “Web session voucher” nor the PIN/SuperPIN .

I fought this just yesterday and wouldn’t call it "easier"in 11.2… :slight_smile:

Finally got through it following, generally, the directions in the text doc for 11.1 you can find in betavine’s vmc download site.
In the end I got a working connection with VMC and also with wvdial but Networkmanager is still holding some resistance… <_<

This was done with a Toshiba laptop, openSUSE 11.2, KDE4 and a Huawei K3765 (probably aka E169).
Slight variations in the modem model can mean varying difficulties in the process.
Just ask if you need more insight.

I assume after calling
vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux
I need to call
wvdial
What is the correct wvdial configuration for Germany ? I found one for France here: Huawei E220 - Gentoo Linux Wiki
