The command from comment #13 will do nothing but send a standard device reset control message to the modem. Any tool using libusb could do that, so it's not a genuine property of usb_modeswitch. It was added just for convenience.
And the workaround is quite logical: if something is screwing up the device, a clean reset will make it work again. This is *not* a mode switch, the device stays in modem mode obviously. BTW, there is no need to provide a target ID in the command since this is no mode switch with success check. Just run "sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 1003 -R". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
