To get you going, here is my command line that I use to get my Vodafone 3G dongle - Huawei K3770 - working on Linux: You now need to use something like wvdial or sakis3g* (recommended). Sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_nfĪfter you have done this, type lsusb and check that the product id has changed as expected: You can either now reboot your machine, or run: Next open the config file for usb_modeswitch and add a rule to change the product id (this will happen when you start the machine up and have the dongle inserted during boot):Īnd add the lines to the bottom of the file: This program allows you to change the mode from file to modem.

The remedy is simple, install usb_modeswitch. UPDATE: Ubuntu may describe the dongle as 14c9 instead of 1c05. " 14d1" is the product id for the file mode of this dongle, we need it to say:īus 002 Device 005: ID 12d1:1c05 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. To prove you have this problem, connect the dongle to your computer, open a Terminal, then type:īus 002 Device 005: ID 12d1:14d1 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

This means it is ready to be mounted with the Windows/Mac software and not actually ready to surf the web. The first problem that you will encounter, is that the USB dongle is in "file" mode when you first plug it in. The funny thing about my Vodafone K3770 dongle was that it took me less time to get it working with Linux - which isn't officially supported - than it did getting it working on Windows 7 - which is its recommended Operating System!!
