yes i didn't know about usb-mod-switch is installed by default but..when i build latest binaries from

the source .. and installed it.. then according to you terminal should have prompted me with the

message that ..usb-mod-switch is already the newest version... but it didn't ..so there might be two

possible reason for that ... 1) i don't have this package or 2) I don't have the latest package. I haveinstalled this in latest lm12 and lmde.. but no one prompted this message.nitinmartoliaDec 12 '11 at19:46

Installing from source might give u the latest version hence why you were not prompted by the

Terminal about an already existing versionMysterioDec 13 '11 at 9:05

yes thats what i have written in my 2nd point..nitinmartoliaDec 13 '11 at 10:04

Note:- Data cards are automatically detected in newer version of ubuntu. You just have to

wait for detecting it and then you can configure it. Use this method only when your data

card is not detected by default.

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 12d1:140b Huawei USB Device


If you have same ID 12d1:140b Hwawei USB Device> follow the same instruction below

Now the first number here is the vendor id (0x12d1) and the second one (0x0140b) is product

id. These numbers will differ depending on the make and model of your modem.

2) now type in terminal

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x140b

**optional:{ only if terminal asks for permission or are you root something.. then type

sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x140b

enter your password ...
