Have you tried to search for a solution using your favorite search engine?

Hint: keyword usb-modeswitch

IIRC, this particular model has been discussed in many mailing lists and web forums.

Hi Arun

usb-modeswitch has been already installed, still its detecting as CDROM and not as Modem

Please suggest.

Hi Arun

usb-modeswitch has been already installed, still its detecting as CDROM and not as Modem

Unmount the cdrom and then let network manager do its work.

Hi Rony

Its been already tried out and does not work.

Have you tried this?

1. Drop to a terminal and get root 2. Search for the path to usb_modeswitch or usb-modeswitch and usb_modeswitch.conf 3. Issue /path/to/usb-modeswitch -I -W -c /path/to/usb-modeswitch.conf 4. Check dmesg output to see if the mide has been switched

Of course, you'll also need to check if the device was correctly identified. Is it a Huawei card? Its ZeroCD mode identifier would be 12d1:1446.

Hi Kaushal,

Try looking for your device in the file device-reference.txt, which is available on Josua Dietze's website http://draisberghof.de

It would be a good idea to look up the device ID in switched mode either through Device Manager on Wibdows or on the internet.

Copy the block that refers to your device to a text file and replace usb_modeswitch.conf with it. Retry the procedure thereafter. You could also update your version of usb-modeswitch and usb_modeswitch-data.

You can look at the related posts on my blog http://freedune.wordpress.comfor some pointers. ---sent from my Notion Ink Adam---

Hi Kaushal, the latest version would be available in source form on the draisberghof.de website, and installs easily. Otherwise, you can also use apt-get or synaptic to get it from the repos.

We are currently busy in making the modems work on a hacked copy of android honeycomb with outdated kernels, so I can't offer much help with matching the output with my ubuntu desk to. However, I have usually seen that waiting a few minutes for the mode to flip with network manager usually helps. If your problem persists, the forums on draisberghof.de are a good place to seek help, and there are many other users who have reported similar problems in the past.

OOh, nice to see someone working on similar lines. i'm currently working on trying to get my huawei ec-168 - Reliance(12d1:1412) on a honeycomb tabby that i've got(No-Name chinese brand, Samsung S5PV210 CPU). Can you tell me if you've had any luck so far

Hi Rajeev,

Please check for the presence of the following, and get them if possible: 1. Root access 2. Terminal emulator 3. PPP support in your kernel or a kernel module that you can insert, for which you'll require the kernel source code 4. Same for usb-serial support 5. Same for Option modem driver support (this is the name of the company that originally created the ZeroCD mode switchable units) 6. Some say slhc and ppp_generic drivers are also required

Please check the proceedings here [ http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?510-Success!-3G-USB-modems-now-w...] to see how we're progressing.

Frankly, I am surprised how a no-name Chinese manufacturer could give you a tablet with Honeycomb on it, when Google has restricted access to the source code to a few partners, but anyway, this is very interesting. What is the so-called brand, and how much did you pay for it? Is it this one? [ http://www.teask.com/android-2-3-gingerbread-tablet-with-samsung-s5pv210-cpu... ]

Currently running on the Bena kernel - 2.6.35.7-bena-a2p3, so i guess it's

for android 2.3, hacked on with 3.0 userspace on top. Cant seem to find any reference to ppp in the dmesg output, but a couple of invocations to pppd seen to run without errors.

Also, ppp inside pptp vpn connections worked fine, so i'm guessing i have fully functional ppp stack.

Another way to check is if /etc/ppp has the chat scripts etc. and if the kernel throws up errors when you try to run the dialer. Seems this is OK in your case.

So, right now, i'm working on writing the correct chat script for reliance, but have not had the time to really sit on it.

Please let us know if you succeed. It would be very helpful.

The touchscreen is really bad, and camers+g-sensor are inoperative, but other than that, honeycomb is mighty stable on this, with almost no crashes or FC's, and even the market works great(though it's the gingerbread market, still looking for the honeycomb apk's).

This continues to be interesting. If you get more information on the hardware used, you could join the tabletroms site and start a thread for your generic model. Also check XDA, if you haven't yet.
