Hello

I have this device: Huawei E352 (T-Mobile, Netherlands), but i cannot connect with this device:

Ubuntu 12.10 64bit
usb_modeswitch Version 1.2.3 (C) Josua Dietze 2012
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 12d1:1506 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E398 LTE/UMTS/GSM Modem/Networkcard

I follow the instruction in this link
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... php?p=3692
and the instructions in this link:
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... .php?t=599

With the help with the 2 entries above, I think I managed usb_modeswitch to work properly.
However: when I go to System Settings -> Network, there is no Mobile Broadband option.
Also when I use Manage Connections -> Mobile Broadband, I can make a profile for T-Mobile Internet, however the wizard does not provide me with the option to choose an available mobile device.

I noticed 1 irregularity: On the outside of the device it is clearly marked as type E352, however running lsusb gives:
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 12d1:1506 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E398 LTE/UMTS/GSM Modem/Networkcard

QUESTION:
Could the discrepancy between the different types be the cause of the problem??
Is there something in the way I setup usb_modeswitch that causes this problem?
If that is NOT the problem, then what is??

I have included the file /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1449 below
I have doubts about the setting of TargetProduct.

• ########################################################
  # Huawei, newer modems
  
  DefaultVendor= 0x12d1
  DefaultProduct=0x1449
  
  TargetVendor= 0x12d1
  TargetProduct= 0x1444
  
  CheckSuccess=20

I have also attached the file /var/log/usb_modeswitch.log, which seems to say that all went OK.

Any help is much appreciated!!

Are you sure that the original (pre-switching) ID of your device is "12d1:1449"?
You can check by temporarily disabling usb_modeswitch (edit /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf).

The postings that you were linking to are a bit dated. The device should be supported in your distribution, with no further manual action necessary.

Are you getting serial ports when plugging in? The "dmesg" command should give you a hint about what's going on behind the scenes if you run it after you plugged your stick.

You are using wrong modeswitch message for this stick, the correct message is:
55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000

You would not have had to do anything manually if you had updated your usb_modeswitch package!
