atrias Posted March 28, 2016 Author Posted March 28, 2016 single person topic for anyone interested the answer was found here http://parliamodi-ubuntu.blogspot.gr/2011/12/internet-key-onda-k3806-z-su-archbang-e.html I was missing the modemmanager package It was a debian "problem" and not armbian specific 1
help40 Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I think "modemmanager" have nothing to do with your problem I mean switching .... and if your modem is not in modemswitch DB you can add rule manually
atrias Posted April 5, 2016 Author Posted April 5, 2016 thank you for your contribution well while having only usb-modeswitch installed the mode switching was not working after installing modemmanager it worked i did not have to do any manual configuration perhaps installing this package added some usb-modeswitch entries so that no manual entry was required i do not really know the fact though is that now the 3g modem is usable
help40 Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 may be this one https://github.com/digidietze/usb-modeswitch-data/blob/master/usb_modeswitch.d/19d2:1013 found it googling "usb_modeswitch 19d2 1013" ..... you can test it if you have "spare" linux box or SD card my linux box has this rule too ... (slackware 14.0) cat /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/19d2:1013 # Vodafone (ZTE) K3806-Z TargetVendor= 0x19d2 TargetProduct= 0x1015 MessageContent="5553424312345678000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000" NeedResponse=1 NoDriverLoading=1
atrias Posted April 10, 2016 Author Posted April 10, 2016 I added this config in a debian 8.3 live root@debian:~# cat /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/19d2\:1013 # Vodafone (ZTE) K3806-Z TargetVendor= 0x19d2 TargetProduct= 0x1015 MessageContent="5553424312345678000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000" NeedResponse=1 NoDriverLoading=1 but after plugging in the modem it did not change mode then I installed modemmanager and modeswitching to 19d2:1015 worked without any config changes then I removed modemmanager and modeswitching stopped working again It really seems that this package is required for this specific usb modem to work
