After plugging in a Huawei USB HSPA Modem and doing lsusb I get:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 12d1:1f01 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E353/E3131 (Mass storage mode)
Tried the usb_modeswitch command as per the tutorial, but it didn’t do anything. Searched around and found this example for the RaspberryPi and the E3531
sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1f01 -V 0x12d1 -P 0x1001 -M “55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000”
Another lsusb and I get:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem
First doubt is the E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem tacked on the end, however performing the next step I got:
dave@dave-AOD255E:~$ sudo pon e303
/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/e303: unrecognized option ‘dev/ttyUSB0’
Many hours searching and the only useful suggestion was to ensure the /dev entry was rw, which it is
dave@dave-AOD255E:/dev$ ls -la ttyUSB*
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Sep 8 23:23 ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 1 Sep 8 23:21 ttyUSB1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 2 Sep 8 23:22 ttyUSB2
I feel this must be a common problem so was hoping someone with experience would point me in the right direction.
Thank you,
