This is my first post in the forum good morning to everyone.
excuse my spelling errors in my Spanish-speaking area.
Now I will explain my doubts.
I am using a huawei e173.

I previously had this id. lsusb showed it.:
Bus 001 Device 010: ID "12d1:1c05" Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

noting that was not in the database config modeswitch (12d1:1c05).
I started practicing with the command usb_modeswitch_dispatcher.
after practicing with usb_modeswitch_dispatcher, I do not remember exactly what I did.
If so:
sudo /usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch_dispatcher


or if it was so.


sudo /usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch_dispatcher -c /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1c05


the issue that I'm happy that the driver works well.
but I have a question I'd like to evacuate.


every time you plug in the modem, and typing the command lsusb, it shows me the new id.:
Bus 001 Device 011: ID 12d1:1c0b Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.


how do I now return to the real id (12d1:1c05) ?

doing so, it displays the original id:

/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -c /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1c0b

/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -c /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1c0b

after i typed
I then typing: lsusb
show me the original id

but I would like to show me the original id without using:

/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -c /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1c0b

thanks and greetings to all.

Can you tell us some things about your system, please?

1. What is your Linux distribution ?

2. How did you install usb_modeswitch:
- from a distribution package (rpm or deb) ?
- from the source package available here ?

[seba266]

excuse me administrador.
this was my first post.
I am using:
ubuntu version 10.10 maverick kernel 2.6.35-35-generic.
I had an old installation that brings maverick by default.
uninstall old version THROUGH of synaptic.
later
I installed from source package available.
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... .2.tar.bz2
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... 20.tar.bz2
apt-get install libusb-dev
make install.

[Josh]

On Ubuntu, you may not have the "tcl" package installed.
This is needed for the source package to work automatically.

I think you will find it in Synaptics.

[seba266]

already installed tcl shows synaptic.
tcl: The Tool Command Language (default version) - run-time files
version: 8.4.16-2
curiously not seen in synaptic, usb_modeswitch installed.
maybe I should uninstall the modeswitch and install it on a specific way. usb_modeswitch was compiled source code. and apparently works without problems.
maybe I should install it in a special way as it says in the manual:
1) # make install (I guess the most common).
2) # make install-shared.
or
3) # make install-static.
I think I installed with option 1.

[Josh]

"make install" is the most flexible way. You can keep it like that.

Now I'd like to see a log of the mode-switch process. For this, edit
/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf and set "EnableLogging" to "1".

If your installation is O.K., you will get a log file when you plug your stick in and wait a moment.
Look for /var/log/usb_modeswitch_<something>.

[seba266]

if I see the following log, in /var/log:
usb_modeswitch_ttyUSB4
usb_modeswitch_ttyUSB3
usb_modeswitch_ttyUSB2

works great!!

but as I do to show the normal idVendor idProduct.

[Josh]

There should be annother log file, slightly bigger, named "usb_modeswitch_1-3:1.0" or similar.
Can you see that?

[seba266]

exactly, I can see :

usb_modeswitch_1-6:1.0
usb_modeswitch_ttyUSB2,
usb_modeswitch_ttyUSB1,
usb_modeswitch_ttyUSB0

apparently seems to act the rules File: 40-usb_modeswitch.rules

internally, in the usb_modeswitch_1-6:1.0 file shows me this:
pd. If you find an error let me know thanks ..
greetings and thank you very much for your help.

The automatic switching seems to work quite well. Your usb_modeswitch installation is good.

Do you have any problems with connecting?

[seba266]

so far I have no problem, actually I do not use the internet modeswitch.
I am using modeswitch to develop a project related to gammu.

and so far doing pretty well, because I was not short I left the pc 48 hours, and do not hang up.

Thanks for your help.
