Hi,
got exactly the same Problem with the XS Stick P14 (1c9e:9605). After hours of searching for a solution, I did the following:
1) First tell networtk-manager, he should remember the PIN for the SIM-Card. This will be important for step 3!
2) Adding the following line in /etc/rc.local:
Code:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9605
This switches the stick from datastore-mode into the modem-mode.
3) Added a script with the following in auto-start:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 75
nmcli nm wwan on
This gets around the bug of the network-manager, which disables the mobile broadband after every restart. Don't be suprised about the 75 seconds wait. The USB-Stick takes up to 55 Seconds to initialisize after typing in the pin for the sim. Additionally the networkmanager is launched after the script started and it will need a few seconds to start itself. So adding at this point 20 seconds is safe, you might try up to 10 seconds, but that might fail. Will definitive fail, if you skipped point 1!
4) (Optional) Configure the mobile connection to connect automatically
Works so far, but fails, when unplugging the stick. I thought, I'll have to live with this, but then I was searching for something different and found this. I tried your advise which is described in post 11 and now replugging works. OK, it woks not 100% I still have to re-enable mobile broadband, by typing in
but hey, I don't have to restart the whole machine anymore
