dre,

I have the same problem as you. Iv got the Huawei 620 USB Modem from Zain (Kenya). It worked fine for a while then just stopped. Now I get the same messages as you. Did you find a solution?

it looks like that your device model is different “sometimes slightly” than mine.

Hi.

I did all the steps by when I type in “usb_modeswitch” I get the message “no default device found.” When i do “lsusb” it detects the device.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

all you must do is usb_modeswitch but if you want that to be automatic you can do that by udev rules.

Hi Ahmed..

I’ve a problem with this way. When I restarted my fedora 11 box I must re-do your how to again becuase my fedora box doesn’t recognize Modem USB modem configuration or networking connection.

Thanks in advance.
