Hi All-
great forum! I've got a ZTE Ac2726 and can't seem to get it working with usb-modeswitch 1.1.0.
in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf i commented out:
DefaultVendor= 0x19d2
DefaultProduct= 0xfff5
TargetVendor= 0x19d2
TargetProduct= 0xfff1
# only for reference and 0.x versions
MessageEndpoint=0x0a
MessageContent="5553424312345678c00000008000069f010000000000000000000000000000"
when i run sudo usb_modeswitch it seems to hang here:
Looking for target devices ...
No devices in target mode or class found
Looking for default devices ...
Found default devices (1)
Accessing device 002 on bus 002 ...
Using endpoints 0x0a (out) and 0x89 (in)
Inquiring device details; driver will be detached ...
Looking for active driver ...
OK, driver found ("usb-storage")
OK, driver "usb-storage" detached
dmesg looks like this:

lsusb looks like this:
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
i am using kernel 2.6.24-22-generic, if that makes a difference.
I am stumped, any ideas on what else to check for? This model seems to be supported so I am not sure what else to look for.
Thanks for any help!
I've seen this before when the storage part (the pseudo CD-ROM) was discovered and mounted by the system. If you start the switch manually, try to unmount anything suspicious that showed up on the desktop or in a file manager.
The automatic switch did not work on your system? It usually kicks in before anything can be mounted and thus prevents any storage troubles from happening.
The old kernel has the disadvantage of not having a facility to add device IDs to the GSM modem driver. You might end up with the device switched but without a driver; unless you add your target ID to the "option" driver code in the kernel.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortuntely, I am using a server version so there is no desktop to unmount anything. It is an old kernel so I will try to add target id's the to the kernel. What's the best way to do that?
Just some more trial and error....when I plug the modem in and run usb_modeswitch a few times, I do get the following output, but still nothing in lsusb or dmesg:

As I said, with your kernel there is only the way of adding your device ID (target) to the kernel code of the GSM modem driver ("option"); or you use the generic serial driver which is discouraged by the kernel USB developers. You can give this module ("usbserial") new device IDs as options. See output of "modinfo usbserial" for details.
