A "guess" mode? #8
Comments
While I'm not 100% sure as i have not used this in some time. However i have found that it automatically finds the correct APN for my carriers when ever i have used it. Having a quick look at the source code it gets the settings from this file https://github.com/Trixarian/sakis3g-source/blob/master/files/operators.db |
It doesn't for me, it presents a list of 3 different APN settings and the first one works fine, however I need to manually specify a whole bunch of stuff: sakis3g OTHER="USBMODEM" USBMODEM="12d1:1003" APN="internet" connect If I don't specify OTHER, it dies asking what type of device this is. If I don't specify the USBMODEM, it just lists all the USB devices available and if I don't specify APN it lists 3 different APNs - it would be great if it could just try all the options it lists instead of showing them and dying. |
Would i be correct in guessing that your are using a Huawei E220? |
That's right, now if only sakis3g would have a mode where it could attempt a guess too :P |
I'm gonna look in to it, i think i have one of those modems somewhere. I mainly use a ZTE MF821 with it and it works fine. Another thing i have to ask is are you using the interface for it or do you use automated scripts? |
Like this: http://web.archive.org/web/20120707165211/http://wiki.sakis3g.org/wiki/index.php?title=Sakis3G_configuration#voodoo ? It still ends up asking the interface (for me anyway), but otherwise it's automated. You can also invoke it like this: |
Another option could be to use UMTSkeeper to automate it. |
Just a note, it seems the please connect or --voodoo option still asks for the APN :( -
It would be great if sakis3g would just try each one to see if it can get online :) -- or at least provide an option to list the APNs in a more parseable format, like "sakis3g listapns" |
It would be great if sakis3g could try all devices and all detected APNs in order, trying to guess how to get online.
This would be useful for headless appliances like a Raspberry Pi hidden in a car, where you may need to swap out a USB 3G Dongle and connecting a monitor and keyboard and reconfiguring sakis3g is not be possible without disassembling the car.
