Re: Huawei E1692 is not recognized

Hi Antonio!

Answer is simple - you need usb_modeswitch utility to switch USB
device to modem. I use this modem for my laptop - and it works
beatifully. Just need to run usb_modeswitch everytime I plug it in.
Which is a bummer.

Follow instructions here

and of course put your modem's USB id strings where needed.

Cheers,
Peter.
