Connecting Sun Broadband Huawei 1550 USB modem

[killer_d76]

My wife's sister recently subscribed to Sun Broadband Wireless and it comes with Huawei E1150 HSDPA USB modem, because she knows that I am using Sun here and it's relatively fast!.. I am using a Huawei E160 USB HSDPA MOdem which is supported by Jaunty and Karmic where in the only thing that I have to change/edit is the APN on the Network Settings, from minternet to fbband and that's it i am connected to the Net.. but when I plugged the New Huwaei E1550 HSDPA Modem from Sun Broadband wireless on my lappies USB port pfff!..nothing happened!.. did a few search on Google and this are the codes that I used to make Huawei E1550 to work on my Ubuntu lappy!

..in terminal type..

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install udev-extras 

then hit enter... then type..

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch --vendor 0x12d1 --product 0x1446 --type option-zerocd"' | sudo tee  /etc/udev/rules.d/45-huawei1550.rules 

and that's it!..

enjoy!

that thread is old
if you are using ubuntu 9.04
enter this on your terminal

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install udev-extras

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch --vendor 0x12d1 --product 0x1446 --type option-zerocd"' | sudo tee  /etc/udev/rules.d/45-huawei1550.rules

if you are using ubuntu 9.10
it is now auto detected, you just need to configure its settings to "PAP" only in the network manager>PPP Settings. if still not working try updating to the latest patch of your ubuntu.
