Hi I have been trying to get my huawei usb dongle working on Tumbleweed but to no avail so in desperation I am sending this email. it works fine on 12.3 opensuse so hopefully you can fix this problem I tried to get it working from help from the tumbleweed forum it is recognized in lsusb but doesn show in network-manager regards and thanks Ron Brickle

Firmware?

A device present in lsusb only means that it is connected to the USB system. For NM to have it, any firmware must be present, the wifi-enable switch for *ALL* devices must be on, the device must be recognized by some driver, and that driver must load and initialize correctly. From the information you provided, it is impossible to tell where it is failing.

From the usb-devices output, the device obviously needs to be mode switched. There may be a regression from the openSUSE 12.3 kernel (probably 3.7) to the one used by Tumbleweed. The usb-storage drivers are maintinaed by Matthew Dharm <mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>. I suggest you contact him with a Cc to linux-usb@vger.kernel.org, usb-storage@lists.one-eyed-alien.net, and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org and and state your problem, that it worked in kernel 3.7, but fails in the kernel 3.XX with the XX replaced by the version returned by 'uname -r'.
