What about a manual install. Try choosing edit connection from the network icon and adding the connection manually under mobile.

Use synaptic package manager to install usb-modeswitch. Should work after that. Left click the network icon and look for new mobile connection and left click on it. That will begin the setup process.

Hi,
I am new to Ubuntu (but not Linux/UNIX) and trying to get the Huawei E173s-2 modem to work on Ubuntu 11.04. Is there an update or patch to get this modem to work on Ubuntu?
The modem Vendor and Product ID's are present in /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch
I have gone through the list archives and did not find much, but a few hits come up on the Ubuntuforums. Any one know how I can get this to work like all other modems.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in*a million chances happen 99% of the time.

I removed usb_modeswitch and installed it again and I still get the same result... I enabled logging in usb_modeswitch.conf and I see that the the device is detected and reported as switched, but its actually not happening.
<code>

The configuration file being run actually does switch the device when I manually run usb_modeswitch -c /var/lib/usb_modeswitch/current_cfg.
What I am looking for is a way to get this device to actually switch correctly, once the device is plugged in.

I have this model and its working out of the box with 11.04. What I
had discovered is you have to plug in the device before the kernel
gets loaded up or else it would not work if you just plug it in during
a session. Hope this helps.

Removing usb_modeswitch and installing it again seems to have solved this for me. I do not need to constantly switch the device every time I plug it in.
