I just spent a few hours trying to figure out why my Alcatel modem wasn't establishing a connection...and ran across this bug. Thank you Hanno for the workaround!
I uninstalled the usb_modeswitch package and installed the one from Debian Bullseye, and my modem shows up now! After adding entries to my netplan configuration to enable DHCP, I can access the interfaces. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1866926 Title: usb_modeswitch does not switch modems (remain visible as mass storage) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-modeswitch/+bug/1866926/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
