Support more UMTS/LTE sticks #694

Closed pmelange closed 4 years ago

pmelange commented 5 years ago

I recently received the following email...

ich folge gerade deiner Installationsanleitung zum Betrieb eines Huawei LTE-Sticks am AR300M (ich habe nicht die Lite-Version). Freifunk ist geflasht und geht, der Stick geht auch, allerdings habe ich bei der Installation der zusätzlichen Pakete ein Problem. Etwa die Hälfte der Pakete ist bei meiner Version von Hedy nicht verfügbar.

Version: hedy-1.0.3-gl-ar300m-sysupgrade.bin (Tunneldigger)

Hier die Konsole:

root@resist:~# opkg install kmod-usb-net-rndis comgt-ncm kmod-usb-net-huawei-cdc-ncm kmod-usb-serial \

It would be great if we could support more LTE devices.

That LTE-discussion is close to a bordercase. I remember an old discussion about adding a big list of USB-WiFi-sticks, which was rejected as of wasting build-power and diskspace.

It's an edge case, yes.

@pmelange Could you check the size of the kernel modules? Maybe we can just build the kernel modules because they can't be used from a different source. The userland programs can be installed from openwrt.

pmelange commented 5 years ago

From https://wiki.freifunk.net/Berlin:Freifunk-Router_mit_LTE/UMTS-Uplink the following packages will be installed. I'm not sure which of the following kmods we are building regardless of support of UMTS/LTE support.

Values are in bytes. Based on the master branch TARGET=mpc85xx-generic (based on OpenWrt 18.x). Things might change in 19.x, but probably not by much.

kmod-usb-net-rndis 5247 kmod-usb-serial 12983 kmod-usb-serial-option 5614 kmod-usb-serial-wwan 4495 kmod-mii 3489 kmod-usb-net 11877 kmod-usb-net-huawei-cdc-ncm 2416 kmod-usb-wdm 6422 kmod-usb-net-qmi-wwan 6440 kmod-usb-net-cdc-mbim 4519

Just for info, the userspace programs: umbim 14936 comgt-ncm 3244 usb-modeswitch 13846 uqmi 29086 luci-proto-3g 2444

can we close this as we have merged 21ea0920f7f25d06fbad90c3a7580f9127951186 and e244295f5fd6b3d98741e655aa6b00793dc699a0 ?

SvenRoederer commented 4 years ago

I assume it's solved, so closing. If still unsolved, please reopen.
