4G modem ALMOST working - Raspberry Pi Forums


i have verizon 4g lte dongle have been fighting day. rather use raspberry's network manager, thought try use adapter modem following instructions michael walley on youtube - except instead of using ttyamc0 target did, used ttyusb0. found dongle didn't respond 'straight' serial port.

using lsusb, device shows

bus 001 device 004: id 1410:b001 novatel wireless ovation mc551

using wvdial, set following .conf file.

[dialer defaults]
init1 = atz
stupid mode = 1
dial command = atdt
carrier check = no

[ dialer verizon ]
modem = /dev/ttyusb0
baud = 10000000
phone = *99***3#
username = 1
password = 1

-------------------------------------------------------------------
response got modem (and raspberry) -

--> initializing modem.
--> sending: atz
atz
ok
--> modem initialized.
--> sending: atdt*99***3#
--> waiting carrier.
atdt*99***3#
connect edge
--> carrier detected. starting ppp immediately.
--> unable run /usr/sbin/pppd.
--> check permissions, or specify "pppd path" option in wvdial.conf.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

why raspberry trying load printer driver? there way around this?
and... if managed solid connection, recognized network device?
note goal send streaming video on 4g modem.

why think loading printer driver?
ppp point point protocol, 1 of standard networking transport layers used on serial links.
ppp installed? /usr/sbin/pppd exist, , if you/wvdial have sufficient permissions run it?
