Do telcos truly care for customers?

Someone in the HWZ forum asked: Do telcos truly care for customers?

No!
All telcos in Singapore are public listed company. They don’t need to answer to the customers.
But the management of telcos need to answer to the shareholders.

That’s why, I insist on invest in telcos shares.

Huawei E1762 USB modem on Fedora 12

Installing Huawei E1762 USB mobile broadband modem in Fedora Linux is not easy. The problem arises because Fedora Linux detected this E1762 as a storage device instead of a modem.

Plug the E1762 into the USB port, run lsusb -vvv | less command and scroll down to the Huawei Device Descriptor, check its “Interface Descriptor” sections, you’ll will see the entry of “bInterfaceClass” showing “Mass Storage”.

I tried out quite couple of ways to make it work, and finally success.

Step 1: How to switch from storage mode to modem mode?
You need the usb_modeswitch utility, to make it switch from storage to modem mode. Install usb_modeswitch using yum.

After usb_modeswitch is installed, vi the file /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf and add the following:

Now, try to switch to the modem mode manually

Run the command: lsusb, to see the USB device has changed.

You can verify using lsusb -vvv | less command, the entry of “bInterfaceClass” should not show as Mass Storage now.

Step 2: Configure auto switch to modem mode
Now is to setup auto switching to modem mode whenever the Huawei E1762 modem is plug-in.

Add a udev rule that will trigger usb_modeswitch, open the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules and append the following lines:

Reload the internal state of the running udev daemon

Lastly, use NetworkManager Applet to add new Mobile Broadband connection.
