Modem maker “Option” calls that feature “ZeroCD (TM)” since it eliminates the need for shipping a separate driver carrier.’īy running the following command to view USB devices we can see what mode our device is in: lsusb After installation (and on every consecutive plugging) the driver switches the mode internally, the storage device vanishes (in most cases), and a new device (like an USB modem) shows up.
HUAWEI E3531 UBUNTU DRIVERS
With the following details: ‘ More and more USB devices (especially high-speed WAN stuff, based on cell phone chipsets which are able to change their USB connection mode) have their MS Windows drivers onboard when plugged in for the first time they act like a flash storage and start installing the driver from there. It is described as: “ A mode switching tool for controlling ‘multi-mode’ USB devices.” Luckily there is a tool out there called USB_ModeSwitch to help us greatly.
The problem is that by default the device is in the USB Mass Storage Mode, not very useful if we wan’t to used it for 3G Internet or in Modem mode to send SMS Messages! The Huawei E303 has 3 different modes of function, these are in the table listed below. When I first started out, I was hoping it would just a be a case of plugging in the modem, running Gammu and all would be well but things are never that easy! The main hurdle is that the Mobile Dongle, as with many others has different modes which it can function in.
For this guide I’ll be showing how I got my Huawei E303 Mobile Dongle to with with Gammu on the Raspberry Pi to send and receive SMS messages.
