Agreed, switching to qmi_wwan worked perfectly. For reference, the commands were: modprobe qmi_wwan echo 2-5:1.1 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/cdc_ether/unbind echo 12d1 14ac >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/qmi_wwan/new_id 'usb-devices' then showed: T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=04 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=480 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=ef(misc ) Sub=02 Prot=01 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=12d1 ProdID=14ac Rev=00.00 S: Manufacturer=Huawei Technologies S: Product=HUAWEI Mobile C: #Ifs= 7 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr=500mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.)

When using cdc_ether and NDISDUP to make the connection, it only worked with the 0/1/2/3/4/5 MAC address. When using qmi_wwan and mmcli to make the connection, it worked with the 02:50:f3:00:00:00 MAC address. > Do you have a recent version of the qmi_wwan driver?

The MAC address wasn't random, it was always 02:50:f3:00:00:00. ________________________________ UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN This e-mail is subject to the UCT ICT policies and e-mail disclaimer published on our website at http://www.uct.ac.za/about/policies/emaildisclaimer/ or obtainable from +27 21 650 9111.
