When USB device names contain dots, it means that a hub is involved. usb_modeswitch should handle these cases correctly in the upstream version which is also used by Debian. I don't know about the Ubuntu rewrite of the dispatcher though. Note that mine is the original and Ubuntu has rewritten it in ...

Sorry for being not clear enough in the README, obviously. There are still three flavours of installation as before. The difference to older versions is that the "embedded" flavours are using libjim from the system instead of the one "on-board". However, that change is unrelated ...

You are of course right about the possible initialization failure so I will add the fix - and the comment, to avoid future confusion ...

There is no "going back" after the initial mode switch. You have to re-plug the device.

Noted, thanks!

There is a misunderstanding. PPP Widget does not do USB driving on the kernel level because Google banned kernel module loading. Instead it tries to do all USB traffic and protocols the Android way, with the Android USB API or a bug-free clone of it. Bottom line: you will hardly see kernel devices i...

There is never a hardware reset on these modems. Resetting amounts to unplugging and replugging. You can screw things up though with proprietary Huawei AT commands which can change modes permanently (stored in some flash memory). Maybe that's what you did with the DHCP server? Anyway, I think if the...

That's unusual. There should be at least a sign of an attempt to talk to the modem in the PPP log. A few ideas: - Can it be an issue about insufficient power supply? - Is there any other system software that may try to use the modem? I suggest using a command shell access and trying to find out if t...

I have updated the forum software today.

If you stumble upon things that don't work, drop me a personal message. If that's not working either, be so kind and mail to usb_admin@draisberghof.de

Thanks!

Sorry, wrong typing. I entered it correctly, 19d2:2000' and i copied/pasted the text from the lenovo usb_modeswitch.conf file I will see the log again and come back with the content. There was a fundamental misunderstanding. DO NOT use the content of the global config file in a device config file ....

The file in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d must be named "19d2:2000" - colon, not "L".

If it still doesn't work, what does the log say after you plugged the modem in?

Slight change of the 'skipping' rules to avoid unnecessary checks (thanks to Florian Zumbiehl) New devices: HP lt4220, Venus Fast2, D-Link DWA-171 Wifi Dongle, COMFAST CF-WU782AC WiFi Dongle, Vodafone/Huawei K5160, Vodafone/Huawei R218h (lkly compat. to E5573cs), Novatel USB730L, Novatel MiFi 6620L...

New in 2.6.0: Removed included libjim source alltogether Rewrote parts of the dispatcher script to make location of global config file into a parameter: --config-file, so it can be customised now Replaced tcl helper file for jim embedding with a sh script, dropping the install dependency on a tcl in...

The problem is the PPP negotiation, the very last lines. I think the reply from PPP Widget to the request from the phone is not quite correct. Apart from that, it should work nicely. I have a Nokia 500 and I'm using it via Bluetooth.

I will look into it. May take a while though ...

This forum is fine for such messages.

Will be included, thanks for the notification!
I'll get the actual configuration from the Fedora package.
