Huawei Hilink modem on Armbian

[orrevs]

Is there a way to make armbian find my modem auto?
 

I am running

Orange Pi One with Armbian 5.20 Debian Jesse

 

And Orange Pi PC with Armbian 5.20 Debian Jesse

My issue is that it finds the flash memory in my modem but not the modem itself i have to manually set it to modem via this command

usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1f01 -M '55534243123456780000000000000011062000000101000100000000000000'

 

Now the OS see it as a modem and i can run command

 

dhclient -v eth1

And it will load up the eth1 and it will work fine. Issue is i have to do those steps after reboot.

On my Rasberry device i run Raspberrian and it does all those steps per automatic its plug and play.

Am not very good with linux, but are there some kind of driver or similar i can install so it can work more like plug and play?

Also BIG thanks for armbian its really nice! Thank you for making this!

I'm using the Huawei E3372.

 

I found that all my modem problems disappeared once I installed the latest version of usb-modeswitch from the Jessie Backports repo. https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

I have Vodaphone stick K3765 and it got switched by the usb_modeswitch from

usb_modeswitch: switch device 12d1:1520 on 001/002

to

usb_modeswitch: switched to 12d1:1465 on 001/003

but the no further steps are executed and no serialUSB devices created.

Any ideas?

Whatever I try with the modem Huawei K3765 same result: It got switched to the modem mode, but ttyUSB nodes are not created.

 

When same modem Huawei K3765 is inserted into Mint or Ubuntu it gor switched and recognized by Networkmanager.

In all cases I have installed usb_modeswitch and ModemManager.

So it seems something is not right  on kernel.

Hello!
I have the same Problem on the Huawei E3531. I attached dmesg after attaching on a normal Linux Mint-PC and my Pine64.

 

Thanks in advance!
