Using Huawei E1762 in Karmic Koala

Thursday, January 7, 2010
I'm now happily using Huawei E1762 of broadband modem in my newly Jaunty-upgraded-to-Karmic. :D

After having problems configuring it in Jaunty (and that i surrendered from trying it there), my senior colleague asked me to try doing the configuration in Karmic, instead. Actually it has been one or almost two weeks after the instructive command made, but only this evening i pulled the will to give it some more try. I NEED to use my Ubuntu anyway, and of course with the Internet connection available.

I googled about Huawei E1762 in Karmic Koala and, yes, i got some helpful manuals for installing it. Perhaps the problem of using this new model of Huawei modem has just been fixed, because i remember during the past weeks when i was still having Jaunty Jackalope on my laptop, there were not much information on installing it on neither Jaunty nor Karmic.

So now, what i did previously today was that;

1. I downloaded a new usb_modeswitch.conf, and put it in /etc
2. I opened the terminal, and typed;
sudo usb_modeswitch idProduct=1446 idVendor=12d1
(this was when the modem seemed not to give any response, so after i typed the command, i unplugged the modem and then replugged it again and yeay, 'Mobile broadband connection 'Maxis E1762' active'!)

Thanks to Br. Umarzuki Mochlis! :)

Hmm.. that's weird. My history of huawei modem with ubuntu distro was all good. Actually, walaupun huawei xde linux driver last time, (just pkai generic driver), lbh stable dari windoze punye. hehe :D
