e352/e1552 problem

Post by astgtciv » 15 May 2013, 23:06

Ubuntu 12.04.

Inital lsusb:

Code: Select all

Bus 003 Device 019: ID 12d1:1446 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E1552/E1800 (HSPA modem)
Interestingly, when I DisableSwitching=1 in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf , I still can't see the device in folders. :(

See /var/log/usb_modeswitch.log content below. After usb_modeswitch.conf lsusb still shows the same as above, 1446.

Weird thing is, it worked the first time I inserted the modem. But not even once after that. And I've never seen it as a usb_storage device.

Code: Select all

This sounds like you may be affected by a bug which was added to and then removed from the usb-storage driver a few kernel releases ago. The bug made my E367 (which use the exact same unswitched ID) fail in exactly this way. Unfortunately the bug was backported to stable kernels before being caught. So it's not unlikely that your Ubuntu 12.04 kernel is affected.

The simplest way to test is to temporarily blacklist the usb-storage driver *before* plugging the modem. If usb_modeswitch then works, you are affected. You can blacklist a module by creating a new /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf file, run depmod and unload the (possibly already loaded) module:

Code: Select all

echo "blacklist usb-storage" >/etc/modprobe.d/tmp-usbstorage-blacklist.conf
depmod -a
rmmod usb-storage
Remember to delete the file after the test, or usb-storage will be gone forever...

Wow, you are really onto something here bmork!

I ran your script, and it had an effect! Even without blacklisting usb-storage, for some reason the modem started to be right away recognized as 12d1:1506, and usb_modeswitch didn't even run!!! So the modem worked (although i had some connection problems - it would drop after about 3 seconds worth of connection). And then (this after 1 hr and several reboots!) - something happened and now again the system sees the modem as 12d1:1446 and usb_modeswitch runs and fails, and your script has no longer any effect (((. What is going on here?!!!

Problem is that blacklisting usb-storage just isn't working for me for some reason. I tried both with a separate file and adding lines to blacklist.conf - but no effect, I can still stick my flash driver into a usb port and everything comes up, and lsmod shows me usb-storage. Why would that be?

Blacklisting via the conf file never did work for me, but I found http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.p ... 06382.html , and once I unloaded usb-storage and renamed the usb-storage.ko in modules, usb_modeswitch DID start to work! And also now my connection no longer drops after 3 seconds, I suspect that was because usb-storage driver would kick in. Thanks for all the help, bmork!!!
