When I connected the Huawei modem I could see only 3 additional sg0 ,sg1, sdb entries in /dev and there are no USBtty0 ,USBtty1,USBtty2 which supposed to be cerated by Huawei modem .
By default linux will detect HUAWEI modem as usb storage /cd drive . we must switch it to USB serial inorder to use it as modem .
you can do this with usb_modswitch . If you dont find usb_modswitch in /lib/udev you can install it from here.
/lib/udev/usb_modeswitch –vendor 0x12d1 –product 0x1446 –type option-zerocd
You can create config file in /etc/udev/rule.d/15huawei-1773.rules
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idProduct}==”1446″, SYSFS{idVendor}==”12d1″, RUN+=”/lib/udev/usb_modeswitch –vendor 0x12d1 –product 0x1446 –type option-zerocd”
Restart the system and check lsusb -vvvv | less and note down product id and vendor id information .
You can add this information in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.
My /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf has single line like below
options usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x140c
Now load the usb serial with command modprobe usbserial
