Huawei E1550 problem

You download the rpm from the repositories and you can install it using yast2.
You can create a folder for that downloaded rpm and add that to yast2 as a repositories.

On a side it might complain of missing dependecy take a note of it and download those
dependencies from the repo.

Hope this helps.

Hi thank you conram!

I’ve been checking at Package repositories - openSUSE Wiki to find the files but I can’t find it. I am new to Linux. I really don’t know how the repository work.

I’ve tried to install the files from Draisberghof - Software - USB_ModeSwitch and followed the installation instructions.

Unpack the source file of the program (who might have thought!). In the newly created directory run as root or superuser:

make install

Problem, I don’t have “make” available.

I would appreciate very much if you can give me detail instructions on how to proceed.

thanks a lot!

Hi.

I didn’t read your link but you said you don’t have make.
The thing you can do is download make and the gcc rpm. and install it.
If you have the openSUSE dvd.iso, I think it is included and should be easy for you to install.
When you were able to install it try it and see what will happen if it complains of missing something
take a note of it and try installing those missing ones until it will work to compile your stuff.

Hi,

You could probably disregard my above post.
I am using openSUSE 12.3 and I saw the usb_modeswitch in the repositories.
The version is

usb_modeswitch 1.2.5-2.1.1

Can this be the one you are looking for?

Here is the repo
Index of /distribution/12.3/repo/oss/suse/x86_64

If you are using 32 bit you can find it there too.

I launched OpenSUSE LIVE form USB stick, the same I used to install it. I have checked the Huawei things and it came out that the live version (the one that sees the Huawei as a modem, gives the same settings results as the one installed.

So at this point I think that installing the new usb_modeswitch is usless since it’s clear it’s not the problem.

Plus, I am not able to connect to my IPS even by using the LIVE version, using the same parameters I use in Windows. ALl the other Linux distros I tried for the past 2 weeks worked out perfectly, connection wise. 3 clicks, online.

I can’t understand why such advanced distro like OpenSUSE (and maybe all the KDE) makes it so hard. I mean… ISP connections whuold be common for all the linux distros.

Ok… I hope someone here will be able to help me out, since I really would like to stick with OpenSUSE

thanks a lot
Gabriele
