2012-10-12 Thread Marius Kotsbak 
Ubuntu Quantal contains the 20120815 version, and I verified that the
config in comment #12 is there, so this configuration just needs to be
backported to Precise.

Fabian, could you please test the latest Ubuntu 12.10 live ISO image?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1030531] Re: Can't connect with Huawei E173Eu-1 [12d1:14a8] (Natcom Haiti)

2012-10-11 Thread Josua Dietze 
BTW, the use of "usbserial" is not recommended for 3G modems.

To bind a driver to the modem, do this:

# modprobe option
# echo "12d1 14a8 ff" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id


Ubuntu Precise is still using data package release "20120120"; the modem ID was 
first reported in April.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1030531] Re: Can't connect with Huawei E173Eu-1 [12d1:14a8] (Natcom Haiti)

2012-10-11 Thread Josua Dietze 
It has been added to "usb-modeswitch-data-20120531", released on May 31st.
This version is in Debian "wheezy (testing)".

The current version is 20120815, which is in Debian "sid (unstable)".

This is the content of the respective config file ("12d1:14b5"):
--

# Huawei E173 (Viettel 3G)

TargetVendor=  0x12d1
TargetProductList="14a8,14aa"

MessageContent="55534243123456780011062001"
--

Note that "12d1:14a8" is the *modem* mode which does not need switching.

There is a hint in the syslog of post #5:

Jul 29 14:10:23 bertha usb_modeswitch: switching device 12d1:14b5 on 001/009
...
Jul 29 14:10:28 bertha usb_modeswitch: switched to 12d1:14a8 on 001/009


If the target ID is not contained in the config file, the ad-hoc binding to the 
"option" driver will fail. This is relevant if the "option" driver doesn't have 
the ID in its code yet.

I am unable to test this hardware as I don't have access to it anymore
and I am not in Haiti (and won't in the short term). I hope other
subscribers can help test the proposed workarounds and ensuing solution
(if any).

It seems like we are missing the config file for this stick in 
usb-modeswitch-data. Upstream has not added it either. See forum post: 
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=633
for what config file should be added, and place it in "/etc/usb_modeswitch.d/" 
(you should not need to chnage "/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules").
