Micromax mmx300g 3.5g hsdpa usb modem modeswitching problem Hi friends
i m using ubuntu 10.04. I have MICROMAX MMX300G 3.5G HSDPA USB MODEM. i have installed usbmodeswitching software from ubuntu software center.

The good thing is the the product id is switched from 05c6:f000 to 05c6:9000 the moment its plugged in. But sudo wvdialconf wvdial.conf does not find any modem. The result of "usb-devices" command before and after modeswitching is as follows:-

usb-devices output BEFORE switching
