Hello all:

I have a problem with my Huawei E398:

I tried to configure the rules.d to make an automatic switch at the boot of my RPi, but it didn't work. Tried a thousand pages to do it, but nothing works...
At last, I modify the /etc/rc.local with the following lines:

Code: Select all

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1505 -V 12d1 -P 1506 -M "55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000" -n 1 -W -I

But I know this is NOT the appropiate solution, only a patch.

Any suggestions? I can put the code of any file you want to see.

Regards!

Please be more specific.

What distribution are you running? Is usb_modeswitch already installed as a distro package? If so, which version? Can you determine the USB host kernel driver (some variants are known to be buggy)?

usb_modesitch v1.2.3 installed as a distro package.
Running Raspbian.

How can I determine the USB host kernel driver?

Being more specific, I want to connect automatically an Huawei E398 (def. vendor 12d1, def. product 1505 - Tar. vendor 12d1, tar. product 1506) and start wvdial also automatically (I did it editing the /etc/network/interfaces) because I want to make an external service provided by the RPi.

Is there a file named "/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules"?

If so, does it include a line mentioning "12d1" and "1505"?

Yes, it has a file named like this and insideis this:

Code: Select all

# Huawei EC156, Huawei E372u-8
ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1505", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

One interesting point here, is that if I run the command that I posted on the first message:

Code: Select all

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1505 -V 12d1 -P 1506 -M "55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000" -n 1 -W -I

It shows this:

Code: Select all

Taking all parameters from the command line


 * usb_modeswitch: handle USB devices with multiple modes
 * Version 1.2.3 (C) Josua Dietze 2012
 * Based on libusb0 (0.1.12 and above)

As you see, it seems to be a lot of errors, but it changes the E398 tho the 12d1:1506 anyway.

Well, I solved this creating a file:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/41-usb_modeswitch.rules

And including the following code:

Code: Select all

ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1505", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

Thanks for your help.

Regards!
