huawei e367 does not work

[Johan Henriksson]

Binary package hint: usb-modeswitch

plugging in the modem does bring up pin unlock and it cannot be used. (works on 10.10, not 11.04)

Solution:
after inserting modem,
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1506

but this solution is incomplete: the unlock window gives "operation not allowed" after entering the code. but in fact, it works, and the window can just be closed.

Hi Johan,

Does it work if you run the following commands and retry ?

$ cd /etc/usb_modeswitch.d
$ sudo tar xzf /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/configPack.tar.gz 12d1:1446
$ sudo sed -i -e 's/14ac"/14ac,1506"/' 12d1\:1446

This adds the target product 12d1:1506, as was reported by Simon Josefsson on his blog: http://blog.josefsson.org/2011/05/22/openwrt-with-huawei-e367-and-tp-link-tl-wr1043nd/
