Please don't try anything manual first; switch on logging in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf and do a fresh replug. Post the results (see main doc page, paragraph "Troubleshooting").

Thank you for your response,

I enabled logging but there is no file : "/var/log/usb_modeswitch_<device>"
when I plug the modem, then I edited /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules adding the line:

Code: Select all

ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1449", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

but still no log

Posted: **26 Nov 2010, 22:12**

Ah, yes, there is no config yet for this device ID.

So you added the line to the rules file which is correct; did you also add the config file "12d1:1449" to the folder "/etc/usb_modeswitch.d" ?

And check if you have the "tcl" package installed.

Posted: **27 Nov 2010, 01:25**

ok I installed tcl package and created 12d1:1449 in "/etc/usb_modeswitch.d" copying from 12d1:1446

Code: Select all

All done, exiting

Well, the switching has worked. You will get a success report if you use "TargetProduct=0x1444" in your config file.

But the problem with your old kernel is that the "option" driver is not able to add new IDs on the fly yet. This feature was added in version 2.6.27.
So in order to use your modem, you either have to add your target ID to the kernel source code and recompile, or you have to use "usbserial" which will work but is not recommended by the kernel developers.

If you choose "usbserial", use this line:

Code: Select all

# modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1444

Ok,
so I upgraded the kernel to a more recent one "2.6.32"
now how can I enable the option driver?

Posted: **27 Nov 2010, 13:26**

You don't have to do anything; usb_modeswitch will bind the driver automatically.

Just plug your device and after a while run "dmesg"; if there are notifications about "GSM driver" then your modem is ready to use.
