Nokia CS-15 and Linux

First of all if you have “PIN code request” enabled then you have to disable it (I used my Nokia E90 for that).

Then install usb-modeswitch and wvdial if you haven’t already installed them.

Attach your Nokia CS-15 to your computer USB port and run lsusb (so we can be sure that your computer notice your dongle).

When you run lsusb you should see something like this:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0421:0610 Nokia Mobile Phones

Now you have to run usb_modeswitch command with these parameters:

usb_modeswitch -v 0x0421 -p 0x0610 -m 0x01 -M "5553424312345678000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000"

This will change that 0610 to 0612 and after that command we can run lsusb again and see if that worked and you should see
something like this:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0421:0612 Nokia Mobile Phones

If everything looks ok now we can continue with wvdial.

Edit /etc/wvdial.conf file and make it look like this (Works OK in Finland with DNA):

[Dialer defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Init = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
Phone = *99#
Stupid Mode = 1
Username = " "
Password = " "

If everything went right you should get connected to internet simply with command wvdial and see something like this:

root@ubuntu:/# wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT*99#
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT*99#
CONNECT
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Wed Jan 20 09:43:23 2010
--> Pid of pppd: 4059

--> remote IP address 10.0.0.1
--> primary DNS address 62.241.198.246
--> secondary DNS address 62.241.198.245

And when you disconnect (I did it with ctrl-c:)

^CCaught signal 2: Attempting to exit gracefully...
--> Terminating on signal 15
--> Connect time 8.4 minutes.
--> Disconnecting at Wed Jan 20 09:51:56 2010

Thanks to anttu-t about that usb_modeswitch command and parameters.

If you are using Ubuntu 10.04 / Lucid Lynx you should first try just:

eject /dev/sr1

and then create a new connecting profile (or what ever it’s called).
