Hi all,
Recently, I bought a Teracom datacard (Linktop / LW273) distributed by BSNL
in India. The device was not working out of the box with ModemManager or
ofono as the usb_modeswitch was unable to switch the device from data
interface to modem.
After few trials, I managed to switch the device to modem mode using
usb_modeswitch and then ModemManager was able to detect my device and I was
able to use NetworkManager to make connection. But with ofono, it's not
working even though it's stated on the ofono wiki that generic AT modems
should work out of the box.
Then I tried with different existing ofono drivers by adding udev rule in
/lib/udev/rules/97-ofono.rules and found that the `nokia` driver (which is
used for Nokia CS-10 and CS-17) is working with this device. However, ofono
debug (with OFONO_AT_DEBUG=1) says sms feature is not available for the
device. So I think, this driver needs to be more generic,
In my opinion, ofono should have a generic driver for such AT modems say
`atgen` or similar. I am attaching lsusb output as well as output of udev
monitor. Hope this will help.
Regards
