Nighthawk M1 Linux RNDIS / USB Connectivity Issues After Latest Firmware Update
So after a Firmware update (either Telstra or Netegar, not sure who is the culprit!) on the Nighthwak M1, USB tethering connectitvity stopped for Linux-based OSs (excluding MAC OS of course). Tested on Ubuntu / Debian etc. Big thanks to Uebernerd (Post 135 on https://community.netgear.com/t5/Mobile-Routers-Hotspots-Modems/Netgear-810-update/m-p/1251948 ) In short, Linux does not pick up the correct bConfigurationValue for cdc_ether (it sets it as "1" and not "3"), which stops tethering from working. Instead of using my two Nighthawk M1s as doorstops, I have managed to get them back up and running. The following script can be modified to monitor dmesg (throw in a "while" etc.): #!/bin/bash usb_port=`dmesg | grep MR1100 | egrep -o '[0-9]+\-[0-9]+'` if [ "$usb_port" != "" ]; then echo 3 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/$usb_port/bConfigurationValue fi Obviously this will require running with super-user privileges. It's a cludgy workaround, so if anyone knows how to make this more permanent, please feel free to respond to this post! CheersAircard760s USB connection to a Router
I'm trying to setup an network for a friend who has an air card 760s and an Asus n56. They use the n56 to share a USB storage device between several laptops and to connect to their network printer. I need to get the air card to share it's 3g internet connection with the n56 router via USB. I got the sim pin code, apn etc from telstra an have tried every conceivable combination of settings with no luck. The Asus router can see the air card plugged in (via USB) and shows model info but does not receive internet. It includes the air card 308 in it's supported USB device list. I figured, the 308 being and older model, it should be comparable with the newer 760s. I noticed that the aircard 760s uses a static ip for its USB connectionit's (192.168.2.2) and I think this may cause issues for the router, which I presume thinks it's going to get a dynamic ip assigned to it. There's no option to specify what type of ip the router should look for on it's USB connection. I've spoken with Asus and telstra. I got the usual "try restarting it". I'm yet to try the beta drivers for the router. As much as I'd love to tell them to bin a near new router and buy the air card dock, they're a not-for-profit organization and really need to work with what they've got. Can anyone offer any insight or suggestions.
