Re: Problem with USB Modem

On this web site, you can find the source code of both usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data. I leave the distribution packaging to other people who know how to do it.

It's no problem to install the latest source to Ubuntu, but you need root rights for this as well.

Did you ever try to run "su" in a terminal or "sudo bash"? If you get the "#" prompt, you can do anything you like regarding system files. If "nano /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf" does not work, check the file's permissions with "ls -l /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf".
You can edit file permissions with the "chmod" command.

I allready tried commands in "bash", but i will check those "ls -l", "nano" & "chmod" - commands.
