[Bug 925473] Re: USB 3g modems dont switch to ttyUSB until udevadm trigger

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

This ought to be fixed at the udev level if anything -- usb-modeswitch
is triggered by it, if it doesn't get started and udev requires manual
triggering there probably is something to do there, or some usb issue.

** Package changed: usb-modeswitch (Ubuntu) => udev (Ubuntu)

Title:
  USB 3g modems dont switch to ttyUSB until udevadm trigger

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After completed install of xubuntu precise i386:

  inserting any USB modem, none are recognised (I tried E220, E169 and
  E160E)

  in dmesg all you see is the fake CDROM device, indicating the usb
  modeswitch isnt happening

  eventually I tried `udevadm trigger` with the E220 plugged in, and it
  switched to serial and I could connect to the Internet with it when
  modemmanager eventually found it.  From this point on any of the
  modems are recognized as USB serial when you plugin them in.

  After reboot, back to square one until the first time you do a udevadm trigger.
