Which terminal did you use to produce the dmesg output you attached? THAT is the one you need to use to do the mode switch for your modem. Let’s call the VM that this terminal belongs to the ModemVM just for the sake of having a name for it in this message. The modem you have is actually two different USB devices in one. One of them presents itself as a storage device. That is the one that is shown in your dmesg output. Everything you read there about “HUAWEI Modem” is only coming from the device description the kernel finds through the vendor ID (12d1) and the product ID (1f01). It never sees it as a modem in a technical sense. Only as a storage device. The usb-modeswitch command some people already have been talking about is what you need to tell the modem part of your USB stick to present itself to the kernel. That needs to be executed in a terminal of “ModemVM”, since that is the VM that actually sees your USB stick. The usb-switchmode command is nothing Qubes specific. Therefore you can google about getting the modem running under the linux distribution that ModemVM is using and just follow those instructions in a terminal of ModemVM. Once you have done the mode switch, you will probably see more messages in dmesg about your “HUAWEI Modem” but this time with a different product ID under which the kernel will then identify it as a modem. Hope that clarified things for you a bit! Especially the part, where the only Qubes specific thing about all this is which VM’s terminal to use, to do it all in!
