[Bug 1441285] [NEW] Huawei E173 not recognized as a modem

 

Public bug reported:

My Huawei E173 modem is not recognized as a modem anymore after
installing Ubuntu 15.04 and Mainline kernel 4.0 RC6. It worked out of
the box with Ubuntu 14.10.

I tried various guides (editing /etc/modules and
/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules) but none of them worked. I
finally stumbled upon a script (https://gist.github.com/rehno-
lindeque/4500517) that made the modem usable (recognized by Network
Manager)

The downside is, I have to run the script every time i plug the modem
in, would like a permanent solution.

** Affects: ubuntu
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) => ubuntu
