Today I switched from manually to automatic.

I added some entries in my udev-rules
(taken from your newest data-set)
/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules

Code: Select all

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

in
/etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1505

I added the DefaultVendor and DefaultProdukt. Without, it did not work.

Code: Select all

# Huawei EC156

DefaultVendor=  0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1505

TargetVendor=  0x12d1
TargetProductList="140b,1506,150f"

The result is:

All done, exiting



The only thing, that is still ugly. the device manager at the kde-gui pops up twice.

Good news!

Are you using the new network driver or a standard serial port?

in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1505
I added the DefaultVendor and DefaultProdukt. Without it did not work.

The "concise" format of config files needs usb_modeswitch version 1.2.1 and up. See the change log of the data package.

Since the weekend opensuse has the Kernel 3.4.0-rc2 in its HEAD-Repository. Therefore I can use the wwan-mode also on my regular netbook, not only on my test-device.
So far no problems.

Connecting is now very fast.

udev/usb_modeswitch set the device to the correct mode and another script, calling qmi-ifupdown, dhcpcd and aiccu(for sixxs) configures ipv4 and the ipv6-tunnel.

For native IPv6 I hope to get more informations at the IPv6-Kongress in Frankfurt a.M. next month.

Ok. The reason for the quite old version is: I don't like the risk to destroy udev/usb_modeswich-rules at my system. I have bad experiences at this point. I trust the distributor, knowing that this includes sometimes old releases. Sorry for the obsolete hint.
