Hello,

I am running Debian Wheezy (on top of the 3.2.0 kernel) and have two Huawei E173 modems that I would like to connect automatically to their separate ISPs on boot. However, only one of the modems is switched (from 1446 to 1436) at boot. If the non-switched modem out and back in, it works perfectly. After going through my kernel logs, I can see that usb_modeswitch is triggered only for one of the modems. This seems to be fairly consistent, however, it happens less often if I do a soft-boot (i.e., run the reboot command).

Is there any way to make usb_modeswitch switch both my modems on boot, or any tips on how I can proceed debugging this?

Thanks in advance!

I recommend installing version 1.2.3. From 1.2.1 upwards, any number of identical modems should not be a problem anymore.

If you have this version already, please enable usb_modeswitch's extra logging in "/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf" and see what happens.
