Currently usb-modeswitch 2.2.3 version in Wily (and older 2.2.0) has regressions with lots of Huawei modems - I've tested on several devices, like Vodafone (Huawei) K4510 and Huawei E303 - it seems udev or upstart simply doesn't run usb_modeswitch command, because I don't see any activity in /var/log/syslog after installing new usb-modeswitch 2.2.0+repack0-2 or 2.2.3, see https://launchpad.net/trusty- backports/+bug/1407429/comments/2
The latest upstream version of usb-modeswitch is 2.2.5, this version is packaged in Debian (unstable and testing) since July 2015, maybe this release doesn't have regressions with Huawei 3G/4G modems? I've reported FFe bug #1498805 (Please merge usb-modeswitch 2.2.5+repack0-1 from Debian unstable/testing - current 2.2.3 version in Wily has regressions with lots of Huawei modems) http://draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ChangeLog Version 2.2.5, 2015/07/16 Fixed bug in configuration check, possibly leading to segfault (thanks, Leonid Lisovskiy); fixed Pantech commandline parameter evaluation (was not working at all); added driver unbind step via sysfs in wrapper, getting rid of the USB subsystem complaint "interface 0 claimed by usb-storage while 'usb_modeswitch' <does this and that>" Version 2.2.4, 2015/07/14 Fixed buggy check of USB configuration selection (possibly leading to segfault), tested with Alcatel X602D; removed call to 'libusb_strerror' from libusb initialization - not available in earlier libusb1 versions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1441285 Title: Regression: Huawei E173 no longer recognized as a modem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-modeswitch/+bug/1441285/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
