Desmarcação de modem WWAN por si só, Ubuntu 14.10, Lenovo T440s, Sierra Wireless EM7345 4G LTE

Eu tenho meu Lenovo há algum tempo e tentei procurar soluções para o meu problema com a WWAN.

Posso ativar a WWAN através da GUI e do terminal e conectar-me através do meu provedor de rede. Mas depois de algum tempo a rede cai e o modem desativa a si próprio. É a mesma rede que meu telefone usa e não há nenhum problema com esse.

Não consigo encontrar o log correto para descobrir com o problema. Portanto, espero que haja alguém aqui que possa me ajudar ou ter algumas idéias para procurar o problema.

Eu tenho a seguinte saída do terminal que acho que poderia ser útil, tudo isso é quando o wwan está conectado à rede:

   https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14778527/syslog

Por favor, escreva se você acha que alguma coisa poderia lançar luz sobre o problema.

Eu tive o mesmo problema no Ubuntu 14.04 em um Lenovo Thinkpad W541 com um Sierra Wireless EM7345 4G LTE com firmware: FIH7160_V1.2_WW_01.1415.07

Eu li no registro de alterações do firmware 1.1 do EM7345 que o problema de desconexões aleatórias e falha ao reconectar foi corrigido na versão 1.2. Posso confirmar que o problema ainda persiste na versão 1.2 e que não há atualizações para o Lenovo W541.

A solução é cortar a energia do modem Sierra Wireless EM7345 integrado (que é tecnicamente um dispositivo USB), para forçar uma reinicialização total. Tentei absolutamente todas as reinicializações possíveis até encontrar a possibilidade de cortar completamente a energia de uma porta USB sem desligar o laptop.

Siga esses passos:

1. descubra o caminho do barramento do seu modem Sierra Wireless EM7345 com:

$ lsusb -t

procure por "cdc" na saída, aqui está o meu:

/:  Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci-pci/3p, 480M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/8p, 480M
/:  Bus 03.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci-pci/3p, 480M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/6p, 480M
/:  Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/6p, 5000M
/:  Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/15p, 480M
    |__ Port 5: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Chip/SmartCard, Driver=usbfs, 12M
    |__ Port 6: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 12M
    |__ Port 6: Dev 3, If 1, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 12M
    |__ Port 6: Dev 3, If 2, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 12M
    |__ Port 7: Dev 4, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=, 12M
    |__ Port 10: Dev 14, If 0, Class=Communications, Driver=cdc_mbim, 480M
    |__ Port 10: Dev 14, If 1, Class=CDC Data, Driver=cdc_mbim, 480M
    |__ Port 10: Dev 14, If 2, Class=Communications, Driver=cdc_acm, 480M
    |__ Port 10: Dev 14, If 3, Class=CDC Data, Driver=cdc_acm, 480M
    |__ Port 12: Dev 7, If 0, Class=Video, Driver=uvcvideo, 480M
    |__ Port 12: Dev 7, If 1, Class=Video, Driver=uvcvideo, 480M

aqui você pode ver que no barramento 01 porta 10 existe um dispositivo cdc (o modem Sierra Wireless EM7345), isso significa que seu caminho é: 1-10

2. envie o modem para uma reinicialização suave:

$ sudo modem-cmd /dev/ttyACM0 AT+CFUN=16

não haverá saída se for bem-sucedida. esse comando não se fecha, então CTRL + C o mata

3. desligue a energia do modem (você precisa ser root):

$ echo '1-10' |sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind

aguarde alguns segundos até o dispositivo ser desligado, quando não houver atividade em / var / log / syslog

4. ligue novamente o modem:

$ echo '1-10' |sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/bind

Depois disso, demorará 1 a 2 segundos para o modem iniciar, pronto quando não houver atividade no syslog

5. marque Ativar banda larga móvel no ícone da bandeja do NetworkManagers clique com o botão direito do mouse no menu.

6. conecte-se à sua conexão de banda larga móvel escolhida como de costume

Ou use este script:

Eu escrevi um pequeno script bash para fazer tudo isso, que começo com gksudo:

#!/bin/bash
# run this with root!!
# if this doesnt work, check if the bus path is correct with:
# lsusb -t (search for cdc)

modem-cmd /dev/ttyACM0 AT+CFUN=16 &
sleep 1
killall modem-cmd
echo '1-10' |tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind
sleep 2
echo '1-10' |tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/bind

Eu tive o mesmo problema com o Sierra Wireless MC7710. Eles ocorreram depois que eu desabilitei o PIN, porque fiquei chateado ao receber o chaveiro e o PIN em cada login. Parece haver algo errado com os direitos do grupo. No meu caso, faltava "discagem" em "grupos" e eu a adicionei

sudo usermod -a -G dip,dialout $(whoami)

como descrito aqui:

Depois de reiniciar o modem funcionou desde então.

Sem relação com esse problema, eu enfrentei o mau comportamento do Network Manager nos últimos anos, às vezes a opção "conectar" está ausente da GUI e volta após 1 ou 2 reinicializações. Recentemente, encontrei também uma solução para isso; portanto , se você tiver problemas com o modem às vezes não aparecer no indicador de rede, vale sempre a pena tentar : Quando o Network Manager está com falta da opção de conexão, há duas opções:

A. Apenas reinicie o Network Manager, no 16.04 isso funciona com:

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

B. Use o KDE Network Manager e conecte-se a ele (isso também tem a vantagem de poder criar um ponto de acesso).

1. Para instalar o KDE Netwok Manger no Ubuntu (junto com o padrão):

   sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install plasma-nm
   

2. Corrigindo a entrada ausente no Dash do Unity: “o editor de conexão kde5-nm” agora está instalado, mas devido a um erro não aparece no Dash do Unity. Para corrigir isso, abra o Terminal e digite:

   sudo -H gedit /usr/share/applications/kde5-nm-connection-editor.desktop
   

   Em seguida, comente a linha que contém NoDisplay=trueadicionando #antes e salve as alterações.

3. Agora pesquise e abra via Dash: kde5-nm-connection-editor
