I installed a new 11.2 and my huawei e1692 isn’t recognized, before in suse 11.1 worked perfectly but now not.
I also tried installing the software given by the provider that in 11.1 worked, now not.
kde=Versione 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4) “release 2”
kernel=2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop
Hello, pier_andreeit
maybe you could try this link Huawei E1692 On Linux HOWTO.
Here is an howto for your card. this could help to solve your problem.
hi pierandreit;
in the guide that ojio points you towards, it uses usb_modeswitch as a crucial first step
you say all was good for you on Suse 11.1;
so do you need usb_modeswitch there?
Were you using Gnome in 11.1;
I have been very impressed at how Gnome of 11.2 just goes ahead and autoconfigures older modems like the Huawei E220;
to “see” the zeroCD devices, I right click on the icon and select “eject”;
so what does
lsusb
give you; as a command in a terminal?
and does the device give you an icon on your desktop?
yes was the one I followed when I installed in 11.1, but now the driver isn’t found. I tried also to unmount the only thing is reconized by the system, the memory card
run this

yes is present in both 11.2 and 11.1
yes
isn’t so old I bought in 2009, no I was using kde4 and kde3 in 11.1 and kde4 in 11.2
no icons is visible in kde4, the zeroCD is not shown

Ok, 3 days working on it and now it is all working.
Here is what I did to make it work.
Folow this How To:
But one change was necessary, where you see
Huawei E1692
DefaultVendor= 0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1446
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProduct= 0x140c
MessageContent=“55534243000000000000000000000011060000000000000000000000000000”
CheckSuccess=5
Use
Huawei E1692
DefaultVendor= 0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1446
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProduct= 0x140c
MessageEndpoint=0x01 <— Added this line
MessageContent=“55534243000000000000000000000011060000000000000000000000000000”
CheckSuccess=5
Now usb_modeswitch is working, after runing usb_modeswitch the zeroCD device is mounted and the modem activated.
Now all you have to do is install de application dealer
and use it to connect.
well done;
what made you insert
MessageEndpoint=0x01
(as that is different to the usb_modeswitch.conf file?)
GRANDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
NOW IT WORKS!!!
Many thanks akira, a tenth af beer for you
but usb_modeswitch doesn’t start automatically, even after a restart, where I have tu put rules in /etc/udev/rules.d, because I found a couple of places (but may be them are wrong :)) and I’m in doubt
10-Huawei-Datacard.rules
with this inside about my huawei
BUS==“usb”, SYSFS{modalias}==“usb:v12D1p1446*”, KERNEL==“sr[0-9]”, NAME=“hwcdrom”, MODE=“0666”
ACTION==“add”, BUS==“usb”, SYSFS{modalias}==“usb:v12D1*”, RUN+="/usr/local/Alice_MOBILE_E1692/driver/HWActivator"

and 51-usb-modeswitch.rules
with nothing inside regarding my huawei
or other??
but usb_modeswitch doesn’t start automatically, even after a restart
the usb_modeswitch website
talks of a file
/etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb_modeswitch.rules
that contain
the udev rules starting the wrapper if a known device ID (vendor/product) is recognized
do you have such a file: you can check graphically by clicking on the icon “MY COMPUTER” and drilling down from the etc folder; you can open the file with a text editor and read the file
About the “MessageEndpoint=0x01” line, I found it somewere in another Linux forum, and between a modem not working and a not working modem I decided to take my chances
And about the usb_modeswitch I created an icon to it in my kde menu. When I need the autostart I’ll look in this forum.
thanks
