Today I received a new T-Mobile web'n'walk Stick Business II. I pluged it into my Astaro ASG120 and unfortunately the device was not known.
I did an lsusb and found the device as ID: 12d1:1505. Since Astaro still distributes usb_modeswitch 1.1.6 I checked the latest device-files.
The Astaro itself had no file 12d1:1505 in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d.
I copied 12d1:1446 to 12d1:1505 and modified it to look like
########################################################
# Huawei, newer modems
DefaultVendor= 0x12d1
DefaultProduct=0x1505
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProductList="1001,1406,140b,140c,1412,141b,1433,14ac,1506,150f"
CheckSuccess=20
MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000"
The Astaro was able to perform the modeswitch, but the UMTS modem still was not recognized.
I had to do
modprobe -r usb_storage
modprobe option
/bin/echo 12d1 150f > /sys/bus/usb-serial/driver/option1/new_id
The Astaro then recognized the device, which can be checked with
/etc/init.d/modeswitch show
setitfhw.plx
made the device apear in the WebAdmin device list.
This is nice, since it proves, that the stick is working. The annoying part ist, that I have to manually enter commands to get the connection up.
Is there a way to automate the removal of the storage driver ?
I suspect a newer version of usb_modeswitch to work better on that issue.
