Hello, I cannot get a Huawei E3131 HSPA+ USB Stick to work.
The stick first shows up as device id 12d1:1f01. usb-modeswitch then causes it to switch to id 12d1:14dc. However, that's not an id that the kernel knows about, and nothing further happens. A 'modprobe option && echo "12d1 14dc" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id' doesn't help, either.
When I disable the usb-modeswitch package and do the mode switching by hand as suggested at http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/USB_ModeSwitch as follows:
usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1f01 -M '55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000'
The device switches into a different mode and identifies as id 12d1:1001. I then get some /dev/ttyUSB* devices, but NetworkManager still doesn't recognize the modem and I don't get the choice of establishing a connection.
Any pointers what I could try to get the stick working? Thanks!
(When I use a MF190 stick which initially identifies as id 19d2:2000, usb_modeswitch causes it to switch to id 19d2:0117, I also get some /dev/ttyUSB* devices, and everything works perfectly well.)
