Prepare device

Switch into modem mode

By default kernel recognizes it as usb-storage device (SCSI CD-ROM). It is true, because of this modemcontains MicroSD card (up to 4Gb) reader and internal flash.

To turn on modem you should run

command.

See also the usb_modeswitch package, which you may need in future since in udev-157 modem-modeswitch has been renamed and changed as described in the commit. This package does not need any modifications, just install it.

Also you can create udev's config: /etc/udev/rules.d/15-huawei-e1550.rules

After that, modem changes its USB IDs to 12d1:140c and /proc/bus/usb/devices shows new USB endpoints.

Driver loading

usbserial is proper driver for this modem, but probably it does not recognize it, so you shouldforce it, passing USB IDs.

or put options into /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

(do not forget to rmmod usbserial if it is already loaded before)

Reason: Do not use first-person narration. (Discuss in Talk:Huawei E1550 3G modem#)

2010-August-03: I did not do anything, I just installed usb_modeswitch-1.1.3-2 and my kernel is 2.6.33. In the syslog (/var/log/messages.log) the usb_modeswitch can automatically configure the modem correctly but I still cannot connect to the internet using gnome network manager applet, then I installed the modemmanager package and restart the networkmanager.service. Everything is working properly now.
