So many questions! :) I'm going to try and answer them in one post.
Quick question, in Windows does the device have the 00/1/2/3/4/5 hardware address?
No, in Windows the MAC address was 00:1E:10:1F:E9:48
Can we get lsusb -v output for the device too though?
I attach three lsusb -v outputs; one with usb_modeswitch disabled, the default (Linux?) mode and the alternate mode obtained by sending: $ sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1446 -M 55534243000000000000000000000011060000000100000000000000000000
Is this a Qualcomm based modem?
As far as I know it is. Any way for me to tell for sure?
Is it likely the device requires 0/1/2/3/4/5, or does any MAC address work as long as it's explicitly set?
Only 0/1/2/3/4/5 seems to work. I tried 0/5/4/3/2/1 and the address the device had in Windows and got no data. ________________________________ UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN This e-mail is subject to the UCT ICT policies and e-mail disclaimer published on our website at http://www.uct.ac.za/about/policies/emaildisclaimer/ or obtainable from +27 21 650 9111.
