Might give it a try if I can find someone sufficiently senior to email.

Was just curious if someone who already has the device has tried with 10.04...

Orange UK would not recognize the words "try before you buy" (or "Linux" for that matter.) They will only offer a 1 month contract which can be upgraded but will cost GBP49.99 + 10 a month. If you don't renew, that's a ver expensive locked dongle to put on ebay.
When I wanted to try out mobile BB at my home that was the only option available. They said that with any contract if any data had been downloaded (even at dial-up speed) then the service and the contract would be deemed to have been accepted and irrevocable. Even UK distance selling regulations does not cover contracted services, but it might cover the dongle if it went to court.
The only provider offering me a 14 day trial was "3" when ordered online.

Orange Huawei E160E works.

Hey everyone, noob here.

I installed ozerocdoff utility successfully (I think) but nothing seems to happen when I try to install hsoconnect. After the install is it not supposed to show up under Applications/Internet menu? It's not there.

I'm trying to use the Icon 515 from Orange on my Samsung NC10 Netbook with Ubuntu 10.04. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Josh

Hi

I've got problem with my Option 515m. I changed configuration file for usb_modeswitch (in /etc/usb-modeswitch.conf) and added:

################################################## #####
# Option HSO device

DefaultVendor =0x0af0
DefaultProduct =0xd001

TargetVendor =0x0af0
TargetProduct =0xd157

TargetClass =0xff

Interface =0x01

MessageEndpoint =0x02

ResponseEndpoint =0x89

MessageContent =5553424378563412010000008000060100000000000000000 0000000000000

CheckSuccess =4

I didn't help.
I installed udev and HSOconnect (it works but doesn't see my modem).
Than I edited /etc/udev/rules.d/51-hso-udev.rules file and added (in the right place):

ATTRS{idVendor}=="0af0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="d055", RUN+="/usr/sbin/ozerocdoff -wi 0x%s{idProduct}"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0af0", SYSFS{idProduct}=="d055", SYSFS{bDeviceClass}=="00", RUN+="/usr/sbin/ozerocdoff -wi 0x%s{idProduct}"

I saved, rebooted and ... still doesn't work.

In syslog file after pluging in my modem I can see something like that:

What's I've done wrong? Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

**alexfish** · March 20th, 2011

Hi

if using usb_modeswitch the have to edit the usb_modeswitch data and the usb_modeswitch rules

can try disable the ozercdoff rules then make the following

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/0af0:d001

copy and paste your info

Code:

################################################## #####
# Option HSO device

DefaultVendor =0x0af0
DefaultProduct =0xd001

TargetVendor =0x0af0
TargetProduct =0xd157

TargetClass =0xff

Interface =0x01

MessageEndpoint =0x02

ResponseEndpoint =0x89

MessageContent ="55534243785634120100000080000601000000000000000000000000000000"

CheckSuccess =4

save and exit

then edit the modeswitch rules

Code:

sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules

add these lines

Code:

# option device 0af0:d001
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0af0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="d001", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

see what happens

**alexfish** · March 21st, 2011

hi

will need to take a fresh look at this , there have been several changes at kernel level upto Ubuntu Meerkat (original thread started as regards Ubuntu 9.10)

so need version of Ubuntu been used ,

and results of

Code:

uname -a

can also give the source of info posted as regards the usb_modeswitch
are you booting from internal harddrive / ext usb harddrive / usbstick ?
alexfish

**Forrest1988** · March 22nd, 2011

I use Ubuntu 10.10 - the Maverick Meerkat (Oct 2010) installed on my hd.

uname -a gave me:

Linux PC-luk 2.6.35-23-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Web Nov 24 10:18:49 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Source of my usb_modeswitch config is:

http://skynet.elektroda.eu/index.php...ion-icon-515m/

Thanks for helping me

Hi

only thing can suggest is to date the system to latest kernels, see what happens

kernel now at (2.6.35-28.)

from the info posted , looks as if the device is continually connecting and disconnecting
and the system is not settling , possible this could lead to a system crash,

also not sure if this device may switch by issuing an eject command ,

but first need to see if the device will remain stable,
has the device been configured in windows (and stable) , if not suggest to do so

if after updates and if the device has been configured in windows will look further

if the device is still looping , will have to look at dissabling the usb_modeswitch

did you also install ozercdoff (yes or no) , or any other rules

also need to know if any other software been installed as regard connection managers

Added : can also monitor udisks events

Code:

udisks --monitor

then connect the device
and post the results
