Customizing /var/etc/mpd.script for proprietary modem (solved)

Guest · May 13, 2012, 8:35 PM

Hi - My usb modem is a bit picky and answers at+cpin? requests with READY (instead of at+cpin=?) .and
I plan to patch /var/etc/mpd.script to take care of this.

–-----------snip----snip ---
Temporary adapted /var/etc/mpd.script Line 104. (linked to /usr/local/sbin)
--------------snip---snip-----

but im still searching for the Script which generates /var/etc/mpd_wan.conf.
Maybe someone knows this from his Head?

Anyway, i slowly get to know how to customize things. I really like pfSense.

you'll have to look in the PHP code in /etc/inc/

grep in that directory for part of that string and you should be able to find the code that generates the script.

It's probably in interfaces.inc, but I've never worked on the mpd code before.

ah yes - serching for mpd interface instead of mpd_wan.config is really better.
Found the spot in interface.inc where mpd[interface].config is written.

That fix works for other Huawei devices I have too. Neat!

Huawei E220, cuaU0.0, 3mbit down, 0.3 up
Huawei E173u, cuaU0.0, 5mbit down, 1.1 up
Huawei K3715, cuaU0.0, 5mbit down, 1.2 up

ZTE MF190, only works on warm boot, need to disable SIM PIN because It doesn't work.

Oh - Thats cool !
If your with me then it might be possible that yor modem answers at+cpin? with [READY} and at+cpin=? with [OK].
pfSense asks at+cpin=? and waits for a [READY] so when you have the time to make a cu -l /dev/cuaU0.0 (~. to end) and try it, it might make sense to accept both values in the modemscript.

Thinking further it could be nice if we had some GUI possibility to store custom chatcommands.
These would than be used by mpd instead of the generic ones.
Ill try myself on this task but cant promise :p

Mmh, its motivating to see when groundwork is useful for more people :)
As told i started to code some gui to use for cases wher users need some further customization of pfsenses chatscripts.
So just some status info about some work on the frontend widgets i created for that task.
