After this it still didnt work, so I tried to also
4) sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch
and after next insert of the modem it was found and all I had to do was to add a new mobile broadband internet connection for HUAWEI in the connection manage and it worked just fine. Of course I don't know if step 1-3 is actually necessary or not, but I thought I better write too much info than too little. :)
Interestingly enough, the memorystick part of the modem is still visible and reachable/browsable as a CD, but it properly switches from :1446 to :14ac and works just fine as a modem as well at the same time. Maybe this has to do with the presence of the micro sd slot on the modem.
I got the HUAWEI E182E to work on two laptops with the following procedure.
1) gksu gedit /etc/udev/ rules.d/ 15-huawei- e182e.rules
2) Paste and save the following
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, }==”1446″ , ==”12d1″ , lib/udev/ modem-modeswitc h -v 0x12d1 -p 0×1446 -t option-zerocd”
SYSFS{idProduct
SYSFS{idVendor}
RUN+=”/
3) Restart computer (or at least udev)
