[Bug 740354] New: Huawei 3G usb modem E173 does not switch mode automatically
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740354 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740354#c0 Summary: Huawei 3G usb modem E173 does not switch mode automatically Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: luizluca@tre-sc.gov.br QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1 Hello, When I plug the Huawei 3G usb modem E173, it does not change to "modem mode" using usb_modeswitch command. I still see the "storage id" in lsusb $ $ lsusb | grep 12d1 Bus 001 Device 010: ID 12d1:1c0b Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. The modem mode is "12d1:1c05" According to udev, it should run usb_modeswitch: $ grep -n 1c0b /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules 344:ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1c0b", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'" I switched udev to debug mode: # udevadm control --log-priority=debug I found that it really runned usb_modeswitch: Jan 9 18:22:04 linux udevd[15592]: RUN 'usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'' /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules:344 (...) Jan 9 18:22:05 tresc020239 udevd[15592]: 'usb_modeswitch '/1-7:1.0'' [15619] exit with return code 0 But nothing happened! I still get the same usbid in lsusb and no modem is detected. However, it I run it manually, it works: # /lib/udev/usb_modeswitch '/1-7:1.0' usbid changes and network manager detects it. $ lsusb | grep 12d1 Bus 001 Device 015: ID 12d1:1c05 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Alternatively, I can run usb_modeswitch directly sudo usb_modeswitch -c /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1\:1c0b Maybe it is just some missing env variable or udev undo the switch afterwards. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug the modem Actual Results: 2.

If udev undid the change you'd see udev logging that. This looks at first glance unfortunately like a timing issue.

I found out that udev looks for /lib/udev/modem-modeswitch and we have lib/udev/usb_modeswitch . So I copied it under the new name and now it works. I have to boot with the usb-stick, after I've to disconnect it, and when I plug it again it ask me for pin and root-pwd.After I can find it in the network-manager from kde. After I enable it there and it works. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Which "existing -w option" are you talking about?
There is no option like this in /lib/udev/usb_modeswitch.
It's mentioned in the manual page -w --release-delay NUM After issuing all bulk messages, wait for NUM milliseconds before releasing the interface. Required for some modems on older systems (especially after an EJECT message) but *not* in "usb_modeswitch --help" output. Also it's missing in the header of the manual page. So there is another bug. So the idea whould be to use usb_modeswitch -w 10000 '%b/%k in the udev rule. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Seems you have two udev rules for the same device on your system. And the wrong/ outdated one wins. Is /etc/ude/rules.d/55-umts.rules still part of a package?

Possible, but there is no usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1c00 file available for patching, but we can use usb_modeswitch"s "-w" option here. I guess WaitBefore is specified in seconds. Then this would be 3000 ms. Gerhard, could take care of these two changes, i.e. another udev rule for 12d1:1c00 device and the change in usb_modeswitch.d/1c0b?
