Huawei 3G modem E1762 and Linux

-
If you are having difficulty using Linux with Huawei 3G modem , this might give you an idea on how to resolve your problem.

The problem is Linux always recognize Huawei 3G modem as storage instead of modem, so need to use usb_modeswitch to switch it become a modem.

Here is the command:

1. yum install usb_modeswitch
2. modify /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf

Here is my example :

#Huawei E1762
DefaultVendor= 0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1446
;DefaultProduct= 0x1003

TargetVendor= 0x12d1
;TargetProduct=0x1003
TargetProduct= 0x1446

# choose one of these:
;DetachStorageOnly=1
;HuaweiMode=1

MessageEndpoint=0x01
MessageContent="5553424300000000000000000000001106
0000000000000000000000000000"

3. Modify /etc/udev/rules.d/15-huawei-e1762.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/lib
/udev/usb_modeswitch"

4. Restart the system and use Network Manager to configure the connection.

Hope this will help you.

How to allow non root user to execute hping command ?

-
If you run hping command without root permission or without sudo and you receive this error : [open_sockraw] socket(): Operation not permitted [main] can't open raw socket This command might be able to help you. sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /usr/bin/hping3 (or any location of the hping command) setcap command is to set file capabilities. What are filesystem capabilities?    For the purpose of performing permission checks, traditional Unix implementations distinguish two categories of processes: privileged processes (whose effective user ID is 0, referred to as superuser or root), and unprivileged processes (whose effective UID is non-zero). Privileged processes bypass all kernel permission checks, while unprivileged processes are subject to full permission checking based on the process's credentials (usually: effective UID, effective GID, and supplementary group list).  Starting with kernel 2.2, Linux divides the privileges traditionally associated...

If you are having problem start up vmware player on Fedora 19 after upgrade kernel to 3.10, here is the solution. Basically it is due to the procfs interface and vmnet not able to compiles. First download the procfs patch from http://communities.vmware.com/thread/446113?start=0&tstart=0 .If you don't have time to read the forum, here is the link of the procfs patch. Or you can use the following command: # tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar # cd vmnet-only # wget  http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/2239207-108590/procfs.patch # patch -p1 < procfs.patch # cd .. # tar -cvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/ # cp vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ This will patch the procfs interface. Secondly download the vmnet patch from http://mysticalzero.blogspot.com/2013/07/vmblock-patch-for-linux-310-vmware.html . The link of the patch is here .
