Hi All, I've been trying to make my Huawei E153 modem work with my CentOS 5.3 but i have no luck. Is there anyone here make this work?

I'am loading this confi file, it says successful but stil my modem is in storage mode..

Any help would be very much appreciated..

"14ac" is a target ID. Are you sure you are not in modem mode already?
The storage device may come back after switching, on top of the serial ports.

Check with "lsusb -d 12d1:14ac".

thanks for ur response..

i checked with: lsusb -d 12d1:14ac, the result is:

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 12d1:14ac Huawei Tehnologies Co., Ltd.


Still, my modem is not detected and is in storage mode. If i check with: ls /dev/ttyUSB* it returns no result.

Maybe you can try version 1.1.5; it will try to load "usbserial" if the "option" module does not accept new IDS on the fly. I assume your kernel is a bit dated, is that right?
