from your listing the device has switched

check file.

Code:

cat /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1446

from the terminal find out the state of the device to see if the drivers have loaded

If Ubuntu version 10.04 or 10.10 try

Code:

usb-devices

locate the lines which indicate the device and post only those lines

or try

Code:

ls -al /dev/serial/by-id/usb*

Post the results

Hi alexfish .. thanks for assisting .. here is the cat output:

**Hippytaff** · November 8th, 2010

I've only had a quick look, but I'd say you need to install the driver...with ndiswrapper

Edit -> pending

usb-devices

locate the lines which indicate the device and post only those lines

or try

Code:

ls -al /dev/serial/by-id/usb*

Post the results

**alexfish** · November 8th, 2010

hi cedricf

from the info

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2010-11-08 16:07 /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Huawei_Technologies_HUAWEI_Mobile-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2010-11-08 16:07 /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Huawei_Technologies_HUAWEI_Mobile-if01-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2010-11-08 16:07 /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Huawei_Technologies_HUAWEI_Mobile-if02-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2010-11-08 16:07 /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Huawei_Technologies_HUAWEI_Mobile-if03-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB3

these lines indicate the modem and the drivers have configured

will the device configure with the network manager

if not it will help if you could post details of

Code:

usb-devices

this will help determine the data port

sure the above command available in 10.04

I don't think mode-switch has worked

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2010-11-08 16:07 /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Huawei_Technologies_HUAWEI_Mobile-if03-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB3

there appears to be two data ports on this device highlighted in blue Note the EPs=3
it would be normal to assume the correct Data Port would be ttyUSB0
and the associated driver is option /

so as far as Linux system is concerned the device is recognized , so depending on the connection manager you should be able to connect

I had requested does the network manager recognize the device / I am assuming not

but looking through your post your system is 10.04 / the modem-manager to which network manager depends on for mobile connections,
may not be seeing the device for several reasons, to in depth to go into at present

If your connection is 3g then I suggest

confirm Network Manager can not connect with this device
or check if modem-manager is installed

Code:

which modem-manager

post the results

for ease of use try Sakis3g ,

Hi alexfish .... the command which modem-manager gave nothing, so I checked synaptic and it was not installed!! Installed it and it works! ... Thank you for help!

Glad it's sorted. Remeber to mark the thread as solved in the thread tools at the top of the page so others can see how you fixed it.

Karamu originally created the thread ... I just piggybacked off it. No option in thread tools for me to close it ... hopefully Karamu will see this and close

... Thanks for all your assistance.
