[mahdi-nasehiyan]

Hello. i don't know much about linux... i have an e173 3g dongle and im trying to get it to work on a raspberry pi 1 b+. i installed rpi-source from here im not even sure if its actually needed! when i execute 'sudo make' in the driver's folder, it starts to do something and its slow as f...! below is the result after about 40 minutes: make -C /lib/modules/4.14.52+/build SUBDIRS= modules make[1]:

am i on the right track? anybody has an idea of have i can make this dongle to work ? i tried wvdial and stuff similar to wvdial like sakis-3g but im not that good with linux :(

[sujunmin]

Yes, you can do sudo make install

[mahdi-nasehiyan]

so your saying that i should wait until sudo make completes? and then run sudo make install ? sudo make is taking soooo much time... its been hours and still not done ...

[mahdi-nasehiyan]

why its taking this much time? is it normal? edit: its been 6 hours since i executed 'sudo make' and its still on net/bluetooth/..somefiles.o

[sujunmin]

I think there is no error on building, so just wait for result.

[mahdi-nasehiyan]

ok. it ended after about 12 hours and an error showed up! this is the error: strip: 'hw_cdc_driver.o': No such file Makefile:30: recipe for target 'modules' failed

[sujunmin]

please do sudo make install again.

[mahdi-nasehiyan]

again? what do you mean "again"? the result and the error were from "sudo make" !! and right now when i do "sudo make install" there is a bunch of more errors ...

[saade]

same problem, did you get it? I cant make Huawei E173 work in raspberry.... :/
