[Bug 1527914] Re: Huawei E3372 is not detected and cannot be used

 

This is what I see when I plug mine in:
https://gist.github.com/xanview/3a37e6eb0cf24a12908b

The key lines are:

Jan 28 16:19:23 TimeBox systemd[1]: Starting USB_ModeSwitch...
Jan 28 16:19:23 TimeBox systemd[1]: usb_modeswitch@1-1.5-1-1.5:1.0.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

It seems Ubuntu is trying to do the wrong thing, it is trying to do
systemctl start usb_modeswitch@1-1.5-1-1.5:1.0 when in reality the
command should be:

$ systemctl start usb_modeswitch@1-1.5:1.0

When I run the correct command, I see this in syslog:

Jan 28 16:34:05 TimeBox systemd[1]: Starting USB_ModeSwitch...
Jan 28 16:34:05 TimeBox usb_modeswitch_dispatcher[10502]: Could not read attribute: No such file or directory
Jan 28 16:34:06 TimeBox usb_modeswitch: switch device 12d1:14fe on 001/008
Jan 28 16:34:05 TimeBox usb_modeswitch_dispatcher[10502]: message repeated 2 times: [ Could not read attribute: No such file or directory]
Jan 28 16:34:07 TimeBox usb_modeswitch[10502]: usb_modeswitch: switched to 12d1:14fe on 1/8
Jan 28 16:34:08 TimeBox usb_modeswitch_dispatcher[10502]: Unable to open bind list file: No such file or directory
Jan 28 16:34:08 TimeBox usb_modeswitch[10502]: usb_modeswitch: add device ID 12d1:14fe to driver option
Jan 28 16:34:08 TimeBox usb_modeswitch[10502]: usb_modeswitch: please report the device ID to the Linux USB developers!
Jan 28 16:34:15 TimeBox systemd[1]: Started USB_ModeSwitch.

So seems this is an unsupported device still? (I'm on Ubuntu 15.04
Vivid)
