What is the process of using an Orange modem?it does not connect in linux directly

Hi!
Supposing it is an 3G USB modem: To see if it is recognized: seeley

perhaps also copy and paste this command into a terminal; and copy and paste the result back here

dmesg | grep tty

what happened to your novatel modem?

which country are you in?

[ 0.003045] console [tty0] enabled


That is the result of the command.

I am able to now use the novatel modem.After the usb mode switch,i installed the novatel linux drivers,its now detected as a normal modem

Am in Kenya.

so I wonder if you are using the orange modem on the same computer you installed usb_modeswitch on?

......because the tty0 means the device is not seen as a modem, just a storage device;

if the computer is the one with usb_modeswitch on it, can you type

lsusb

into a terminal, and copy and paste the results back here with the orange modem plugged in; and we see what device you have;

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 147e:2016 Upek Biometric Touchchip/Touchstrip Fingerprint Sensor
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub


It is the computer with mode-switch on.

your modem does not show;

was it plugged in when you did this?

Actually i hadnt plugged it in.it is in use in a diffrent pc.

W#hen I run

dmesg | grep tty[/quote" the result is:

[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled

When I run

"lsusb"

it detects as:

Bus 002 Device 012: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem
