HiLink devices (huawei) provide an ethernet interface instead of ttys and then a ppp interface.
This is problematic because :
* it breaks compatibility with existing software
* the device does give important information such as roaming status, csq etc only via the web UI, thus not easy to retrieve in an application when, for example, no web browser is available.
The following configuration switches various devices in "ppp" mode rather than in "ethernet" mode which is the case with the preceding config files.
It concerns devices with ID 12d1:1f01, which are HiLink devices for what I have encountered so far.
It works for at least Huawei E3131s-2, E3231ws-1 and E3256Ws-2. For the special case of E353Ws-2, it still initiates it's switch, but in ethernet mode.
Other commands cans switch some devices in ppp mode, but none apart from this one, managed to make switch at least in ethernet mode when ppp mode isn't available.
The configuration is :
Code: Select all
# Huawei E3131 E3231 E353ws-2
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProduct= 0x1001
