In The Name Of Allah The compassionate merciful

Good day all ;
Have a EDGE USB Modem and want to connect internet with it .
It has a drive that contain a driver and windows users install it and go ..

Someone told me use usb_modeswitch :

mode switching data for usb-modeswitch

Now , don't know how to use usb_modeswitch ?
have read man and did so > sudo usb_modeswitch -v 05c6 -p 0015

Warning: no switching method given.
