Note that getting it working is somewhat tricky. Here is an order that worked for me:
1. Boot up computer and login 2. Plug in USB551L modem 3. Wait for network manager to detect the modem as a wired device 4. Run: /sbin/modprobe option; /bin/echo "1410 b001" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id 5. Run: minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 6. In minicom run (The first status command should returned disconnected, the second status command should tell you it is connected): At$nwqmistatus At$nwqmiconnect=,, At$nwqmistatus Then the modem usually worked for me. If I ran: /sbin/modprobe option; /bin/echo "1410 b001" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id before I plugged in the modem, network manager detects it as a broadband modem, and the internet connection does not work, and At$nwqmistatus would tell me it was disconnected even after running At$nwqmiconnect=,, Resetting Linux/network manager to re-recognize the modem seemed to require rebooting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886130 Title: Verizon Wireless USB551L 4G Wireless Card detected as wired NIC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/886130/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
