ast_request: No channel type registered for 'dongle0'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi there, 

I'm trying to realise a softphone network with a Huawei 169 for outbound 
traffic. Internal traffic (on SIP between softphones) works fine, but when I 
try to telephone outbound (via the Huawei), I get the following error message: 

[Sep 12 15:12:57] WARNING[6478]: channel.c:5603 ast_request: No channel type 
registered for 'dongle0'
[Sep 12 15:12:57] WARNING[6478]: app_dial.c:2218 dial_exec_full: Unable to 
create channel of type 'dongle0' (cause 66 - Channel not implemented)

This is the dongle.conf:
[dongle0]
audio=/dev/ttyUSB1              ; tty port for audio connection;        no 
default value
data=/dev/ttyUSB2               ; tty port for AT commands;             no 
default value

; or you can omit both audio and data together and use imei=123456789012345 
and/or imsi=123456789012345
;  imei and imsi must contain exactly 15 digits !
;  imei/imsi discovery is available on Linux only
imei=XXX
imsi=XXX

and this is the relevant part of extensions.conf: 

[internal]
; for 4-digit numbers, assume it's a SIP number in our own context
; call it
exten => _XXXX,1,Answer()
exten => _XXXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},20,r)
exten => _XXXX,n,Hangup

; else
; for a number starting with zero try to call via Dongle
exten => _0X.,1,Answer()
exten => _0X.,n,Dial(dongle0/r1/${EXTEN},20,r)
exten => _0x.,n,Hangup

'core show channeltypes' gets the following output:
Type        Description                              Devicestate  Indications  
Transfer
----------  -----------                              -----------  -----------  
--------
Dongle      Huawei 3G Dongle Channel Driver          yes          yes          
no

'module show' lists chan_dongle as loaded .... 

I'm using Asterisk 1.8.10.1

I'd be very grateful if someone can point me to a solution or at least give me 
some tips where to look, i'm getting a bit desperate here .... 

Kind regards,
Benedikt

of course, imei and imsi are entered correctly ...

Please check dial string for dongle channels.
