Hello, I spent some time with tunning setup K-5150. In current downloaded version switched mode is mbim that isnt good for me, i need cdc_ether device.

first I change file /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules :

I addes this:

Code: Select all

# vodafone K5150
ATTR{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="1f16", RUN+="/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1f16 -c /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1f16"

and comment this:

Code: Select all

# Generic entry for all Huawei devices
#ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTR{bInterfaceNumber}=="00", ATTR{bInterfaceClass}=="08", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

second I change file /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1\:1f16

Code: Select all

# Vodafone K5150
TargetVendor=0x12d1
TargetProductList="14f8,1575"
#HuaweiNewMode=1

I could be little dirty but it work for me. If you know how to do it better on raspberry pi, post it here please...

Good luck!

If you don't want cdc_mbim then don't include that module when building your kernel, without this module usb_modeswitch will send the switch message for the dongle to bring it into the alternative mode (cdc_ether for K5150).
Another alternative is to add cdc_mbim to the blacklisting in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
