[Bug 1030531] Re: Can't connect with Huawei E173Eu-1 [12d1:14a8] (Natcom Haiti)

 

Marius, as I mentioned on #11 I don't have this hardware anymore so
can't provide further feedback.

Title:
  Can't connect with Huawei E173Eu-1 [12d1:14a8] (Natcom Haiti)

Status in Usb Modeswitch Data:
  Fix Released
Status in modemmanager package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in usb-modeswitch-data package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When connecting this key in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, it's not available in
  Network Manager.

  This is from the Natcom Haiti provider. lsusb reports it as:
  Bus 001 Device 017: ID 12d1:14a8 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

  A sticker under the key identifies it as E173Eu-1.

  I added the following lines to
  /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules:

  # Natcom Haiti (Huawei) E173Eu-1
  ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="14a8", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

  I also found guides indicating how to complete a workaround for this,
  but I lack the time to pursue this further.
