** Summary changed:
- Can't connect with Huawei E173Eu-1 [12d1:14a8] (Netcom Haiti)
+ Can't connect with Huawei E173Eu-1 [12d1:14a8] (Natcom Haiti)
** Description changed:
When connecting this key in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, it's not available in
Network Manager.
- This is from the Netcom Haiti provider. lsusb reports it as:
- Bus 001 Device 017: ID 12d1:14a8 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
+ This is from the Natcom Haiti provider. lsusb reports it as:
+ Bus 001 Device 017: ID 12d1:14a8 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
A sticker under the key identifies it as E173Eu-1.
I added the following lines to
/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules:
- # Netcom Haiti (Huawei) E173Eu-1
+ # Natcom Haiti (Huawei) E173Eu-1
ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="14a8", RUN+="usb_modeswitch
'%b/%k'"
I also found guides indicating how to complete a workaround for this,
but I lack the time to pursue this further.
