usb-modeswitch 2.2.0 and newer versions doesn't work (regression) with lots of 3G modems - I've tested on several devices, like Vodafone (Huawei) K4510 and Huawei E303 - it seems udev or upstart simply doesn't run usb_modeswitch command, because I don't see any activity in /var/log/syslog after installing new usb-modeswitch 2.2.0+repack0-2 from ppa:mariusko/network-manager-backports (the same problems also with 2.2.3 version from Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily") :(, see bug #1407429
The latest upstream version of usb-modeswitch is 2.2.5, this version is packaged in Debian (unstable and testing) since July 2015, maybe this release doesn't have regressions with Huawei 3G/4G modems? http://draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ChangeLog Version 2.2.5, 2015/07/16 Fixed bug in configuration check, possibly leading to segfault (thanks, Leonid Lisovskiy); fixed Pantech commandline parameter evaluation (was not working at all); added driver unbind step via sysfs in wrapper, getting rid of the USB subsystem complaint "interface 0 claimed by usb-storage while 'usb_modeswitch' <does this and that>" Version 2.2.4, 2015/07/14 Fixed buggy check of USB configuration selection (possibly leading to segfault), tested with Alcatel X602D; removed call to 'libusb_strerror' from libusb initialization - not available in earlier libusb1 versions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451119 Title: 0b3c:f00c not recognized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-modeswitch/+bug/1451119/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
