Huawei Modem not detecting in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid – Fix
I always like to do thinks in terminal, let me explain you in my way. Use lsusb command to find if the modem is detected.
If detected use lsusb -v, to find the product id and vendor id of the modem.
In my case I am using Huawei EC168C – the vendor id is “12d1″ and product id is “1446″.
Open the terminal and follow the instructions
#sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/15-huawei-115x.rules
Now paste the following content as follows and save.
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”,
SYSFS{idProduct}==”1446″,
SYSFS{idVendor}==”12d1″,
RUN+=”/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch –vendor 0x12d1 –product 0×1446 –type option-zerocd”
Save the file. Unplug and plug the modem. Now right click the network icon , goto Mobile Broadband and click Edit. Enter the phone and username.
In my case I am in Zantel network. The phone number is #777 and username is @zantel.com. Click the network icon again and click the detected modem to enjoy surfing.
