Huawei E303 on openSUSE

Post by McCoy-Tyner » 22 Feb 2015, 10:06

Dear listmembers,
this is just to let you know that there seem to be issues with the Huawei E303 (on openSUSE only?). I got one and made it run, but the default settings for the corresponding usb-id do not work.

Originally there are the following entries in /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1f01

# Huawei E353 (3.se) and others
TargetVendor=0x12d1
TargetProductList="14db,14dc"
HuaweiNewMode=1
NoDriverLoading=1

I had to modify this file (according to the entry in "supported devices"

# Huawei E303
TargetVendor=0x12d1
TargetProduct=0x14dc
MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000a11062000000000000100000000000000"

Well, the first line is nothing but eye - candy. I ignored the points with "HuaweiNewMode=1" and "NoDriverLoading=1" as I found them later after having readily patched - but things are working anyway (apparently ....)

Moreover, I modified 40-usb_modeswitch.rules
# Huawei E303
ATTR{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="1f01", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

The original "trap" for Huawei seemed (?) not to work, but maybe I am wrong. So, if there is anything I could / ought to test, please let me know.

Thank you for usb_modeswitch and thank you for your support,
take care
