Hi there
I've bought this modem, and can't force it to working properly. Drivers included to this modem are for ubuntu, and turning them on on my opensuse causes many errors.

usb_modeswitch version 2.5.2-1.1
I would be thankful for any help

[LOM]

Hi there
I've bought this modem, and can't force it to working properly. Drivers included to this modem are for ubuntu, and turning them on on my opensuse causes many errors.

You don't need any "included" drivers for this modem, linux already has all drivers for it.
The dongle is quite new so it is probably only supported in openSUSE Tumbleweed, you can not expect old linux versions to support hardware that was not available at that time.

I'm using opensuse 42.3, it isn't old linux. Updating only linux to newest version would solve this problem? Right now 4.4.126. When i'll have some free time i'll do upgrade to tumbleweed. or newest opensuse leap version which is in beta still.
EDIT
With newer kernel (4.14.38-1-desktop), the same.

With newer kernel (4.14.38-1-desktop), the same.

The dongle got linux support around kernel 4.10, I have 4.14.22 source here locally and 2001:7e35 is supported in /drivers/net/usb/qmi-wwan.c for the net interface and also in /drivers/usb/serial/option.c for the serial interfaces.

Don't know where your problem is but it is not usb_modeswitch related if the dongle appears as 2001:7e35 after switching. Your dmesg should show if drivers bind.

So you've got a wwan1 data device and a cdc-wdm2 cmd device which linux ModemManager and NetworkManager will handle. I suppose openSuse does not include them in the distro so you have to install them afterwards. You'll also need libqmi in case you don't already have it.

We have now reached a point where we are far away from what this forum is about, there are mailinglists for both of those programs in case you need any help with them.

Yes, I get it. I have ModemManager and NetworkManager installes. I'm using lenovo modem in thinkpad and huawei modem without issues on new kernels.
So I will fight with it by myself now, thank's anyway for some advices.

hey there. maybe im not in the right place. i also have a DWM-222 and i would like to use it in PPP (?) mode. is this method switches the mode on the actual machine or it directly switches on the modem itself?
