Ubuntu Networking :: E173 On T-Mobile - Won't Be Able To Do A Sudo Apt-get
Mar 18, 2011
I know, from detailed google searching, and several threads on here, that a number of people have this mobile broadband modem, and have got it working. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 I have got usb_modeswitch working, however, I'm not having any success when I do modprobe. (It seems that this fixes the problem for everybody else, but not me). It doesn't seem to be attaching any driver to the modem, see output below.
david@holmez:~$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 12d1:1c05 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
[Code]....
I have absolutely no internet from my Ubuntu, so I won't be able to do a sudo apt-get. I think I can get what I need from the packages.ubuntu website, except, I don't know what I might need, or where to go from here.

I just purchased a mobile broadband connection from 3 in Denmark. I spent three hours following guides about usb-modeswitch and such. I just couldn't get it to work. Now, finally, I've come THIS far, but yet no internet.
Code:
daniel@daniel-laptop:~$ sudo usb_modeswitch
Looking for target devices ... No devices in target mode or class found Looking for default devices ... Found default devices (1) Accessing device 004 on bus 001 ... Using endpoints 0x0f (out) and 0x8f (in)
Inquiring device details; driver will be detached ... Looking for active driver ...
OK, driver found ("usb-storage")
OK, driver "usb-storage" detached

I am having desperate problems trying to connect to the net with a Huawei E173 USB modem. I was using Linux Mint 7 which I upgraded to version 9 today to see if that would fix the problem but it made no difference. Basically it seems the only time I can connect to the net in linux is if I use the modem in windows and then restart straight into linux, in that case it sometimes gets recognised and works. So at least I know it can work.
I've been trying loads of stuff like usb_modeswitch I found on the net but none of it has worked. Here is what ls-usb gives me -

I am unable to get any work done without the net and I will not have access to a wired connection til the new year.

explain the difference between these two commands. I'm currently reading about changing your mac address and both of these commands show up a lot. They sound like the same thing to me. Is one better than the other, or do you need to use both to change your mac address?
Code:
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop

I have a 3G modem Huawei e173s-6, the usb id is 12d1:1c0b. It's only detected as storage, not as modem. According to some tutorials I've found, I had to use usb_modeswitch and udev rules to make it automatically switch to modem mode, and usb id 12d1:1c05. I followed the tutorials, and the usb changes the id, but after the switch it is still recognized only as storage.
I have the suspicion that I have to add the driver to the kernel, since this is 11.3, but I haven't the slightest clue what to do. Does someone have experience making this modem work in 11.3? tutorial: USB_ModeSwitch ~ View topic - Huawei E173s working config

I have two dual-booted Windows/Ubuntu machines--one desktop and one laptop--and both have SSH servers installed. At home, I use port-forwarding to connect to these servers externally.
I am interested however, in being able to connect to my laptop's ssh server no matter where it is. I am interested in this partly due to anti-theft precautions and partly just curiosity. I know there is anti theft software that lets you remotely modify your computer--from ANY IP address--and I want to know if you can do this with SSH. Imagine someone stole my laptop and connected to the internet in a random location. Assuming i somehow know this ip address, is there any way I could SSH to it? (I doubt the router would forward port 22 or whatever to this computer...)

Just loaded Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell 5100, (XP finally got the bsod) I have verizon mobile broadband, all was very good until I realized I cannot connect wirelessly. The usb modem was not recognized, there is no indication of any wireless connection. There is no icon and nothing happens when the usb modem is plugged in. I have been working on this for hrs & hrs. I am a complete novice on Linux, but CompT1 A certified on PC's

I have an USB (Huawei 1751) modem for mobile broadband. I had it up and running in Ubuntu 9.10 but I had to clear the computer for various reasons. I have decided to only use LTS versions so for the reinstall I have used Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I have downloaded and installed usb_modeswitch and can see that the modes is changed to the right value. After that I wanted to add a new mobile broadband connection in the network connections wizzard - but cannot see any settings for mobile broadband. I am sure it must be possible - but where is this function hidden in version 8.04 ?

I have just switched to Ubuntu from Win 7 RC. So far its been fun, learning to use terminal and all. But I have got a problem now I cannot find a solution to.
I am using 3 Mobile Broadband. The thing just worked - I plugged it in, created a new connection, modified config a little and was happily browsing.
However, it started acting out yesterday. When I boot the system with the modem plugged in, the USB stick is recignised and NetworkManager starts connecting (I have auto connect on). It then shows the "connected" message, and generally appears working fine.
On the other hand, I cannot open a single page in Firefox, it shows the default server not found page.
I used the approach Windows taught me: close, open, retry. I unmount the 3 Mobile Broadband drive, pull the modem out and reconnect it. NetworkManager then does it's job and this time everything works.
I nether had this problem in Win7 or Vista. It looks to me something goes wrong during the booting when the modem is plugged in.

I decided to give 10.04 a shot, and upon first boot, I was able to setup and use my Rogers Rocket mobile broadband stick. When I rebooted, I found that it was in the network settings, but I was unable to connect, nor did it show up as an option in the drop-menu. I played with the terminal trying to see if anything was wrong, but everything seems normal, which is to say I don't even know what I'm looking for in regards to this type of connection.
I obviously know now that it works, I just don't know what made it stopped for the time being. I'm thinking of doing a fresh install over the current partition, and trying to work the issue from there.

I recently made a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 and my mobile broadband no longer works. When I plug it in, the set-up wizard does not appear, and even when I run the wizard manually, the modem is not recognised. I know the modem works as when the laptop ran 9.10 it all worked perfectly.
For the record, it is a Huawei E1550 and has 3 Mobile Broadband Pay-as-you-go.

My mom just switched from Comcast to Clear 4G Mobile Internet service and I don't know how to get this working on a Ubuntu 10.04 system. The Clear installation USB only gives me two options: Windows Users and Mac OS X Users. I was wondering if the Linux WiMax driver would be instrumental in having Clear work on my Ubuntu 10.04 system. From this website: [URL]..
However, if there are no other options, we do have 10 days to back out of the contract.I'm a dim light bulb when it comes to these things. If I didn't provide enough info, just let me know!

I just picked up a 3g modem from T-mobile that I cannot get to work with 10.04Inserting the device and running lsusb gives Bus 002 Device 002: ID 19d2:1201 ONDA Communication S.p.A. I installed usb-modeswitch but I don't know how to configure the usb-modeswitch.conf I know I need to provide the default vendor and product as what is given above vendor=0x19d2 and product=0x1201 but I don't know what to put for the target vendor and product. I'm sure vendor is the same 0x19d2, but the product.. I don't know what to put for the target product so the usb storage will flip to usb modem.
Or maybe I'm completely wrong about how I'm going about this.I've researched this numerous places:[URL]nd I can see the basic idea of how to proceed, but I think I'm stuck at flipping the device from storage to modem mode.I've got 14 days to return this thing if I can't get it to work. I'm willing to mess around for all 14 of them if we can get this to work and help out any other ubuntu users who want to buy this device.

In a separate thread I discuss my issues with getting my Blackberry 9650 tethering with Verizon and Ubuntu 10.10 with bluetooth. I'm still hoping to get that working, but in the mean time, I've actually started to think about perhaps getting a mobile broadband card from a US provider separate from my blackberry anyway - preferably one that works right out of box with Ubuntu.
Does anyone here have any recommendations? I know there's a lot of compatible devices, but maybe someone here can recommend a provider (I don't have to stick with Verizon - willing to go AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, etc.) and a USB mobile broadband device that'll work pretty smoothly?

Iam planning to use 3(operator) Mobile broadband in Sweden. I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 in my HP-Pavilion-dv2700-Notebook-PC. Iam not able to configure this mobile broadband(3 operator).
Earlier i was using Telia mobile broadband in Ubuntu 10.04 it was working fine. Now i have moved to operator 3 and also i installed Ubuntu 11.04. I added the profile Network->edit Connections-> Mobile Broadband (tab)i have given all right parameters. Still i didnt manage to connect. I feel like lost connection with the World without the internet.
