Linux and AirCard 595U

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
I've got a Sierra AirCard 595U from Sprint that I had put off getting working under Linux on my F8 laptop. Well, finally got it working, and it was quite painless, and speeds are good, too: So, how did I do it? Really quite simple - all that you need to do is create a file /etc/wvdial.conf with these contents:
[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 961600
SetVolume = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
Init3 = ATM0
FlowControl = NOFLOW
Then after that, you create the ppp peer called 'sprint' by putting the following in /etc/ppp/peers/sprint:
 ttyUSB0
115200
debug
noauth
defaultroute
usepeerdns
connect-delay 10000
user @sprintpcs.com
show-password
crtscts
lock
lcp-echo-failure 4
lcp-echo-interval 65535
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 -f /etc/ppp/peers/sprint_chat'
And finally, put the following in '/etc/ppp/peers/sprint_chat':
'' 'AT'
'OK' 'ATE0V1&F&D2&C1&C2S0=0'
'OK' 'ATE0V1'
'OK' 'ATS7=60'
'OK' 'ATDT#777'
After that's done, you can type 'pppd connect sprint', and you'll have a connection!
