<div dir="ltr">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 : <blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">mode switching data for usb-modeswitch Several new USB devices have their proprietary Windows drivers onboard, especially WAN dongles. When plugged in for the first time, they act like a flash storage and start installing the driver from there. If the driver is already installed, the storage device vanishes and a new device, such as an USB modem, shows up. This is called the "ZeroCD" feature. On Debian, this is not needed, since the driver is included as a Linux kernel module, such as "usbserial". However, the device still shows up as "usb-storage" by default. usb-modeswitch solves that issue by sending the command which actually performs the switching of the device from "usb-storage" to "usbserial". </blockquote> Now , don't know how to use usb_modeswitch ? have read man and did so > sudo usb_modeswitch -v 05c6 -p 0015 but result says # Warning: no switching method given.
