I've been trying to get my LG-VL600 working on Ubuntu12.04 for a couple of days now and have been unsuccessful. This is from Verizon and works marvelously on Windows 7 with the VZAccess Manager app. Here is what I've got:

usb_modeswitch:

Code: Select all

Taking all parameters from the command line


 * usb_modeswitch: handle USB devices with multiple modes
 * Version 1.2.4 (C) Josua Dietze 2012

I'm not sure what else to do to get this to work.

You could do what I just did and google "linux driver lg-vl600" ...

Seriously, the device is in communication mode already. It even has a dedicated driver attached to it.

Either usb_modeswitch is unneeded for this thing, or it was switched automatically by an existing configuration. Either way, it is "ready to use".

Well, at least with a catch. I found this by googling:
https://github.com/balrog-kun/LG-VL600-utils

I don't know if there is an Ubuntu package for that utility. It may be better to direct further research in that direction.
