What should I do to make Ubuntu 11.10 recognize the modem?
Please provide idiot-proof instructions. |

Put this file in "/etc/usb_modeswitch.d".
Duplicate one of the existing ZTE lines in "/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules" and edit the new line to reflect the product ID of your device (... ATTRS{idProduct}=="0146" ...). |

Changed both, no effect.
Why is 0x0143 also in the file you sent? Do I need it? Do I have to continue with some painful sniffing like this to get the MessageContent too? Many thanks for the help! |

You might want to have a look at the device reference text file. All parameters are explained extensively there.
See paragraph "Download" on the main doc page. As to "no effect", please enable logging as described in paragraph "Troubleshooting" (also on the doc page). Post the resulting log here. |

Here is the log:

Aargh! Config file missing for 19d2:0146! Exiting. Does "Config file missing for 19d2:0146!" mean that I have messed up something? Or what should I do? |

Did you put the file linked in my earlier post into the folder "/etc/usb_modeswitch.d" ?

Ooops, my mistake, sorry. I copied those lines into /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf.
However I already have a directory /etc/usb_modeswitch.d and I failed to create a file with the same name (distro: Ubuntu 11.10). What should I do now? |

I put the linked file as /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/19d2:0146.conf
After that, I got the following log: Code: USB_ModeSwitch log from Mon Apr 16 20:46:45 2012

Why do you add ".conf" to the file name? I did not tell you to.

OK, now it is clear how you meant it.
I can unlock the device, and connect to Orange.at. However, ifconfig -a gives this: Code: usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:53:f7:8e:c1:71
inet addr:94.245.255.225 Bcast:94.245.255.225 Mask:255.255.255.255 inet6 addr: fe80::53:f7ff:fe8e:c171/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:133 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:583 (583.0 B) TX bytes:12516 (12.5 KB) Is the device properly recognized? Why do all the RX and TX packages have errors? Is it a problem with my internet settings? Many thanks for your help and patience! |

You don't have any errors.
RX = received TX = transmitted packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 |

Excellent. Then it must be a problem with the connection settings because the address resolution does not work (it works on Win7).
Thank you for your help and patience! |

I have the similar modem, and I have to run DHCP client manually to start the connection. Without it I can not reach any server.
So, after connection is established, try to do the command: > sudo dhclient usb0 |
