Yes, because you passed the USB controller to your sys-USB, correct? In that case, that means if you attach an USB modem, it'll be passed to your sys-USB, and not your sys-net that should have the internet device instead. The solution could be to merge your sys-net with sys-usb, though, I never felt truly safe having my USB exposed like that. Though logically speaking, its not anymore exposed in sys-net, than compared with any other non Qubes-OS system out there. Either way, I believe this is pretty likely your problem. Try test it first, you can worry about the security after wards. See if it works if you passthrough your USB controller to your sys-net instead, and then try apply your USB modem there. If it still doesn't work, then it's probably either (in order of likelihood, the first is most likely imho). - No driver/module for your USB modem. It may be visible in i.e. "lspci", but it'll have no functionality, no less any signal. - PCI strictness is too strict, and qvm-prefs strictreset option set to false is not enough. - Pass-through is not supported in your USB modem. But these potential issues, you only need to worry about, after you get USB into sys-net, instead of sys-usb. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
