How to get a Huawei modem working on Ubuntu

Category : Uncategorized

Ubuntu has come a long way from the early days of wrestling with drivers to get peripherals to play nice with it. Generally now Ubuntu has great plug and play facilities. So when I was trying to install a Vodafone Huawei 3G USB dongle on to a fresh build of Ubuntu Lucid I was baffled as to why the plug and play feature would not work.

Ubuntu found  the USB dongle and showed it up as a CD-ROM (this is natural behavior when these thing are plugged in first) but for the life of me I couldn’t get an internet connection either by adding the dongle manually or automatically.

I went online to find out why this was the case and I realised that I needed to install the following: usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data

sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch-data

sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch

Once I installed these packages the USB dongle was detected automatically and a connection was set up.

If this worked for you please leave a comment below.

*Edit – I forgot to mention that you will have to enable all the repositories in your /etc/apt/sources.list for this to work*
