c't did an article on UMTS sticks in the issue dated 21/12/2009, and they couldn't get the Vodafone stick (they called it Huawei K3765) to work because the mode-switch between zeroCD and normal mode couldn't be done from Linux.
That's where the trick of explicitly Ejecting the stick in Dolphin comes in. If you don't do that, it stays in ZEROCD mode. As soon as you Eject the stick, it switches over to Broadband mode. This is shown in dmesg as well.. before ejecting, all that's discovered when you plug in the stick is the CD part. Eject, and the modem is picked up, and the /dev nodes are created.
Aha. I guess c't missed that one :-) I have not yet experimented with one of these UNTS sticks, but I will be, as I need one for this summer. Interesting trick with the eject. The data you mentioned sounds good to me - are you getting any errors etc? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
