USB 3G Modem Not Working with Zeroshell

[lijinshyam]

Hi …

I have a huawei EC1260 usb 3G modem .. The device not in the list of compatible 3g modems.. and when i connected the modem it is detected as a mass storage device.

And I can find a lots of question about this in the forum… 🙁

Is there any way to overcome this …

Regards
Lijin

Have you unplugged-plugged in the usb?
What is the output of the following?

ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*

ifconfig -a

Run these commands with usb plugged in.

[lijinshyam]

When i execute the command ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*

ls: /dev/ttyUSB*: No such file or directory

[lijinshyam]

First i configured the modem EC168C there was no problem in configuring that device…

when i connect this modem and hit the first command still no such file or directory….

Earlier i configured a Internet and VPN connection using this modem(EC168C)….

When i tried with the new modem its not even detecting in the zeroshell. The old one still working..

Thanks for the help….

When you plug in the usb, what is the output of

 dmesg | tail -n 100

[lijinshyam]

It still is recognized as storage device rather than a modem. Try again with the usb_modeswitch.

[lijinshyam]

Still the same …

Am using the command

usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 140b -H 1

is it correct…?
