Comment 11 for bug 889878

I've figured it out, my modem is from Vodafone and the product number is different, I've changed the lines:

sudo echo "12d1 1506" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1505 -V 12d1 -P 1506 -M "55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000" -n 1
sleep 30

to

sudo echo "12d1 14c8" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 14c3 -V 12d1 -P 14c8 -M "55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000" -n 1
sleep 30

and it's working now :)

is there a way of making the modeswitch thing automatical?

I don't need to use wvdial because network manager detects the modem correctly after the modswitch.
