Hi friends! I have been using tomato for more than a year, thanks a lot for the contributions..
I am trying to use my AT&T 4G hotspot as WAN connection (USB tethered mode)
I'm using Toastman's mod on WRT610N v2 (tomato-K26USB-NVRAM60K-1.28.7500.4MIPSR2Toastman-RT-VLAN-Ext)
Here is someone who got the same 4G hotspot working via netcfg
Can the same be done in Tomato? I've tried to choose "3G modem" in the wan settings, but no luck. I have set the USB IP of the 4G modem to be 192.168.2.2 and my tomato is at 192.168.1.1.
## quote ##
I was trying to get my new cellular mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless 754S) to work in tethered mode via USB cable with my laptop (I figured it would require less power than using the WiFi connection to it).
At first I was trying to use wvdial as I did with my previous cellular modem, but I wasn't having much success. Then I figured out I could use netcfg, which I was already using for WiFi at home.
I used the ethernet-dhcp example and just edited the line from eth0 to wwan0. No need for wpa_supplicant in tethered mode.
/etc/network.d/attelevate {I chose attelevate for the filename}
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='A basic dhcp ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='wwan0'
IP='dhcp'
## for DHCPv6
#IP6='dhcp'
## for IPv6 autoconfiguration
#IP6='stateless'
- netcfg attelevate
{starts the connection}
