Hi,
I have for a few days now been trying to switch this modem with no avail.
This is what I have (running this in Ubuntu 11.04)
*root@ubuntu:~# lsusb | grep -i huawei

I notice that the Product ID changes from 1c0b to 1c05. I changed my file to
contain this:
*# ########################################################
# Huawei E173s
DefaultVendor= 0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1c0b
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProduct= 0x1c05
CheckSuccess=20
MessageEndpoint= 0x0f
#MessageContent="55534243000000000000000000000011060000000100000000000000000000"

*
It appears this device is detected as a storage device and not a modem. Any
pointers on how I can get this switched and working in Ubuntu.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a
million chances happen 99% of the time.
