I somehow solved this by downgrading the usb-modeswitch package to a earlier version :1.1.0-2 and usb-modeswitch-data to 20100127_1.
I downloaded .deb files for these packages and tried gdebi. But the deb installer was broke and was giving errors: "dpkg: unable to read file descriptor" So I used the command sudo dpkg -i <file.deb> and it worked. The problem still remains with the latest usb-modeswitch package. -- Huawei EC1261 not working after update to usb-modeswitch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625110 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
