Addendum: The "official" switching message suggested by Huawei may bring up either mode No.1 or mode No.2 in recent models. If No.1 shows up, there is a possibility that the "HuaweiAltMode" message may bring up No.2 instead.
This is up to the user though, there is no comprehensive information available about the different Huawei models and firmwares AFAIK. (BTW, mode No.2 is what Huawei calls "HiLink".) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819362 Title: HUAWEI E3531 HSPA+ USB Stick "please report the device ID to the Linux USB developers" Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in usb-modeswitch package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have a HUAWEI E3531 HSPA+ USB Stick When I plug it in, journalctl shows me Mär 10 19:21:20 pshp usb_modeswitch[3556]: usb_modeswitch: switched to 12d1:14dc on 1/9 Mär 10 19:21:20 pshp kernel: scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access HUAWEI TF CARD Storage 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 Mär 10 19:21:20 pshp kernel: sd 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 Mär 10 19:21:20 pshp kernel: sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk Mär 10 19:21:21 pshp usb_modeswitch_dispatcher[3556]: Unable to open bind list file: No such file or directory Mär 10 19:21:21 pshp usb_modeswitch[3556]: usb_modeswitch: add device ID 12d1:14dc to driver option Mär 10 19:21:21 pshp usb_modeswitch[3556]: usb_modeswitch: please report the device ID to the Linux USB developers!
