I have one of those really cheap Philips modems and I can't figure out how to make traction. I have read many submissions, for some reason I still can't make any progress.
First I used lsusb and found:
Bus = 006 Device = 004 ID = 0471:1210 Philips (or NXP)
I found the device in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d directory so someone got it to work
I attempt
~$ usb_modeswitch -v 0x0471 -p 0x1210 -V 0x0471 -m 0x03 -c /home/ray/aircard.conf
Looking for target devices ...
No devices in target mode or class found
Looking for default devices ...
Found devices in default mode, class or configuration (1)
Accessing device 000 on bus 006 ...
Getting the current device configuration ...
Error: getting the current configuration failed (error -1). Aborting.
The device is 004 not 000, how do I tell the command to find the right device?
What configuration is it looking for?
I set the EnableLogging flag, but the log file does not exist.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
If you find your device ID among the configuration files, the switching should happen automatically.
The logging will only happen during an automatic mode switch.
So, the question in your case is: does the automatic way work?
Did you check if "Tcl" is installed on your system? What do you get if you type "which tclsh" in a terminal?
If you are running usb_modeswitch manually, do so as "root" or with "sudo". Otherwise the hardware access will fail.
If your device data - like "DefaultVendor" - is contained in "aircard.conf", you don't have to provide it on the command line as well.

which tclsh yields /usr/bin/tclsh
I am just trying to understand how to do it automatically.
For some reason, I removed all of the parameters from the command line and just used the configuration file and it worked properly. Now I have to figure it out automatically.
Thanks for your help and the work to make this possible.

No gsmmodem device
When I look in dmesg it seems like the switch has worked.
And it seems the device is at /dev/ttyACM0
When I look in the log for usb_modeswitch I see
It seems that usb_modeswitch doesn't think it has worked and I can't use the device /dev/ttyACM0 and there does not seem to be a device gsmmodem?
