I had sent an e-mail to the administrator and I have received no feedback so far, so I'm posting it here. I have implemented support for the Huawei K4305. The Internet key works straight upon plugging it in: Code: ########################################################
# Huawei K4305
#
# Contributor: Dario
DefaultVendor= 0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1f15
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProduct= 0x1400
MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011062000000000000100000000000000" I have also added the following udev rule in /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules: Code: # Vodafone Mobile Broadband (Huawei) K4305
ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1f15", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'" I don't know if there is a general switching method to try out besides the one I have found. Any suggestion?

Thanks for the report, K4305 with usb id 12d1:1f15 is known to be an MBIM device and they don't use a traditional modeswitch message.
Can you please paste the output of lsusb -v -d 12d1:1f15 before switching it and also of 12d1:1400 after switching?

Hmm, I have not received anything via mail.
Posting new configurations here is preferred anyway.
Thanks again for this report. As LOM said, we would appreciate the "lsusb -v" output.

(Bus Powered) Network Manager creates a dummy ethernet connection for the device upon insertion. If you need further information feel free to ask.

If you want you can do some reading about the MBIM handling here: viewtopic.php?p=6673#p6673The bottom line is if you add "CheckMBIM=1" to your config file, usb_modeswitch is looking for the correct MBIM driver on your system. If it is not found, then the 'fallback' mode is set by switching as usual. Otherwise, annother configuration is set to bring the device in MBIM mode. This is not the same thing as a mode switch.

So what do you suggest to make it work out-of-the-box for everybody?

It's safe to add "CheckMBIM".
Versions of usb_modeswitch that do not know this option will ignore it. The newer versions will do the right thing.

Are you adding my contribution upstream with your amendment?

I have found out the udev rule interferes with other USB storage devices connected to the same system. Probably it is better to remove it altogether. I am investigating the issue.

Never mind. I had conflicting rules due to my tests. It works just fine.

Do you know any way to get ttyUSB0 to appear?
I would like to be able to use AT commands to check signal strength etc.

There are no serial interfaces on K4305, only a direct ethernet interface. There is a webserver behind the ethernet interface where you may find signal and other connection info. <WebUi> <Home>http://{0}/</Home> <Sms>http://{0}/html/home.htm?startPage=sms-inbox</Sms> <Account>http://{0}/html/home.htm?startPage=account</Account> <Settings>http://{0}/html/home.htm?startPage=network-settings</Settings> <Help>http://{0}/html/home.htm?startPage=help</Help> </WebUi> You'll have to find out which ip adress the web server resides on and substitute that address for {0} in the list above.

Yes, but as you noted earlier: It's better to use MBIM if you want features like that. Check out the new ModemManager with libmbim support.
