I have tried another method which seems to work in Ubuntu and which I’ve found here, but it didn’t work either: https://askubuntu.com/questions/757638/can-not-connect-huawei-e3372-modem-on-ubuntu-15-10-please-help *The method* “Add a new network connection using Network Manager panel. The connection type is 'Ethernet'. In Device Mac Address, select the mac address of your modem and click 'Save'. This new connection should come up in your Network Manager now. I hope this answer helps others.” I’ve found the USB modem’s MAC address by running a Linux Live OS (PartedMagic), and looked under System profiles -> Network -> Devices, and wrote it down. I then logged into Qubes OS, right clicked on the red network icon in the menu -> Edit connections -> Add -> Ethernet. Writing the MAC address in the input field beside “Device”, pressed Enter and pressed Save. And I have tried it both before and after I have connected the USB device to sys-net VM. *The problem* Of course the problem is that the USB modem’s MAC address doesn’t exist in the OS as long as the device isn’t recognized as a modem. So by entering the MAC address in the Network Manager, there is just being entered an address to a device which doesn’t match the MAC address of any device according to the OS. So somehow Qubes OS needs to recognize the device as a USB modem. *Questions* So the question remains: How can I get Qubes OS to recognize the USB device as a modem... ? And as some other Linux distros (Fedora ( see link: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/309370/4g-modem-works-only-on-livecd-in-fedora ), Ubunto, Arch, Tails 4.2.2 and PartedMagic) is able to recognize the USB device as a modem, it seems that Qubes OS miss something that makes it possible for the OS to recognize the device as a modem. For example in this forum the users said from dec. 2017 and onwards that the modem Huawei E3372 is recognized and work with other Linux distros. http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2756 An obvious question is then: What does these distros have which Qubes OS doesn’t have, that makes them being able to recognize the device as a modem ? And is it something that can be downloaded an added to Qubes OS to make it recognize the device as a modem ? If so, I would appreciate a download-link. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
