Huawei 3G modem E1762 and Linux

If you are having difficulty using Linux with Huawei 3G modem , this might give you an idea on how to resolve your problem.

The problem is Linux always recognize Huawei 3G modem as storage instead of modem, so need to use usb_modeswitch to switch it become a modem.

Here is the command:

1. yum install usb_modeswitch
2. modify /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf

Here is my example :

#Huawei E1762
DefaultVendor= 0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1446
;DefaultProduct= 0x1003

TargetVendor= 0x12d1
;TargetProduct=0x1003
TargetProduct= 0x1446

# choose one of these:
;DetachStorageOnly=1
;HuaweiMode=1

MessageEndpoint=0x01
MessageContent="5553424300000000000000000000001106
0000000000000000000000000000"

3. Modify /etc/udev/rules.d/15-huawei-e1762.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/lib
/udev/usb_modeswitch"

4. Restart the system and use Network Manager to configure the connection.

Hope this will help you.
