You get same result in Lucid? You can also check Maverick Alpha? I know likely situation has not changed in Lucid and Maverick but you need to do a quick check this using LiveCD and post the result here.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: udev Subject device has so called ZeroCD feature which allows Win&Mac users install drivers from modem itself. When connection is needed, default software switches modem from data storage mode to communication device mode, which makes connection establishment possible. Though, on Ubuntu, device detects as flash data storage, and switching it to modem mode without usb_modeswitch package is impossible. So, there's custom solution for that problem: 1) install usb_modeswitch 2) uncomment at /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf lines about subject device 3) switch device to modem mode in a way like that: modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x6061 && usb_modeswitch sleep 3 (I usually put those lines in bash script for more convinience) After that, device switches to communication mode and modem appears on /dev/ttyUSB0. After that it's easy to use wvdial+gnome-ppp for establishing a connection. Though, connection establishment via Network Manager applet is impossible atm. I think that it'll be nice that in Ubuntu 10.10 this modem could connect automatically, 'cause HDSPA connection is my only option, and I've to find another connection for getting necessary packages. - - /// - - outputs are moved to attached text files ** Summary changed: - Alcatel OT-X020 hdspa dongle doesn't switches to modem device from data storage device in Karmic (ZeroCD feature) + Alcatel OT-X020 hdspa dongle doesn't switches to modem device mode from data storage device mode in Karmic (ZeroCD feature) -- Alcatel OT-X020 hdspa dongle doesn't switches to modem device mode from data storage device mode in Karmic and Lucid (ZeroCD feature) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/594570 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
