Hi,
I've been trying to make my FC13 Dell d620 work with a Huawei 3G usb modem mode E173. I can not switch the device to modem instead of storage with usb_modswitch.
This is what I get on lsusb:
And this is how I try to usb_modswitch (i'm not sure about the values on this file, since I edited one that came by default for e173 but did not work):Code:[pablo:driver]$ lsusb Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0b97:7762 O2 Micro, Inc.

Re: Mobile Broadband FC13 Huawei E173
I think I got it to switch after searching here: http://www.draisberghof.de/bb/
But still my network manager won't detect the device... is there anything else I need to do?
Can anyone help here?Code:[pablo:usb_modeswitch.d]$ cat 12d1:1c0b ######################################################## # Huawei E173s DefaultVendor= 0x12d1 DefaultProduct= 0x1c0b TargetVendor= 0x12d1 TargetProduct= 0x1c05 CheckSuccess=20 MessageEndpoint= 0x0f MessageContent= "55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000" [pablo:usb_modeswitch.d]$ lsusb | grep Huawei Bus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:1c0b Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

satyaveerarya, if you do "lsusb" on console what do you get?

Getting closer.... now my FC13 is able to detect the MODEM automatically:
1) create file /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1c0b:
--------------------------------------------------------Code:######################################################## # Huawei E173s DefaultVendor= 0x12d1 DefaultProduct= 0x1c0b TargetVendor= 0x12d1 TargetProduct= 0x1c05 CheckSuccess=20 MessageEndpoint= 0x0f MessageContent= "55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000"
2) add corresponding lines to /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
After I did this, I just unplugged and plugged the MODEM and my NM detected it right away!Code:Huawei E173s ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1c0b", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"
I won't be able to test it until I return home in 3 or 4 days. Will confirm then!

BTW: researching on usb_modswitch page, I learned that mine it's E173s, although on the rare side it reads E173 only...
