That script seemed to have no special effect on me - usually have 3 or
4 attemts with 'pppd call gprs' until I get a connection. But it
connects though. Using a recent build, the gta01 had to be symlinked.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2008/3/17, Peter Harrison <<a href="mailto:cheetah100@gmail.com">cheetah100@gmail.com</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
First of all, I wrote some scripts to get GPRS working. All seemed to work fine on the last official build from November 2007. I started with the GPRS instructions off the Wiki, but there were some mistakes which I have corrected. I also wrote a small script for the startup which looks like this:<br>
<br>/etc/init.d/gsmd stop<br>echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gsm.0/power_on<br>chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttySAC0<br>stty -F /dev/ttySAC0 crtscts<br>pppd call gprs<br><br>When I moved to one of the more recent builds there was a change which meant the gta01... line had to be modified to point to neo1973....<br>
echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on<br><br>However, now I get the following line in /var/log/messages when running the script:<br><a href="http://user.info" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">user.info</a> kernel: neo1973-pm-gsm neo1973-pm-gsm.0: powering up GSM, thus disconnecting serial console<br>
... and the script fails to start the GPRS connection. Also, I can't get access to the modem AT commands any longer.<br><br>Anyone having more luck with GPRS on recent builds? Is there something I am missing?<br><br>
