Bug Description
Hello,
I just had to notice that my ZTE HDPA USB Modem is no longer working in Ubuntu 13.04 - but in 12.04 it worked.
lsusb lists the device as
"ID 19d2:2000 ZTE WCMA Technologies MSM MF627/MF628 HSDPA/HSUPA"
but the internal flash memory as well as the modem itself are not recognized by nautilus or the network-manager respectively.
Older workaround I found anywhere here with killing modem-manager does not work.
Ubuntu release 13.04 3.8.0-19
usb-modeswitch 1.2.3+repack0-
modemmanager 0.6.0.0.
WORKAROUND: 1. I added the modules (not sure if this is really necessary)
usbserial
option
in /etc/modules
2.picked up the matching config file (e.g. "19d2:2000" - this is the device ID) from /usr/share/
3. finally I created a file named "usb-storage.conf" in /etc/modprobe.d" and copied in these lines:
# Increase the default delay to avoid conflict with usb_modeswitch
options usb-storage delay_use=3
4. Connected the usb-modem, waited about 10-15 seconds until the internal SD-card was mounted and the the modem recognized by the modem-manager.
