in case the first one that I use all of the time fails or gets missing .
*
The old one is a K3715 Huawei ft. Vodafone ,
that works well with the standard kernel driver
bash-3.00# modinfo option
filename: /lib/modules/3.5.0-KRG-iCore2-smp-pae-srv1000gz/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/option.ko
license: GPL
version: v0.7.2
description: USB Driver for GSM modems
author: Matthias Urlichs <smurf@smurf.noris.de>
srcversion: EE77CA59D5868481899CD32
that has a bunch of
bash-3.00# modinfo option | grep alias | wc -l
644
aliases .
The Stick has a compartment to add a micro-SD card and has a ROM-chip formatted iso9660 that contains three files for the windows GUI and driver .
The lsusb command is listing the K3715 as
Bus 001 Device 015: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem
and the dmesg command shows when it is plugged in

Now the E532s-5 Huawei ft. T-mobile web'n'walk Stick Fusion III :
No driver seems to feel responsible even after
Code: Select all
ls -1 /lib/modules/3.5.0-KRG-iCore2-smp-pae-srv1000gz/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/* |while read line;do echo $line;insmod $line;done
lsusb names it
Bus 001 Device 018: ID 12d1:14fe Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
and dmesg is printing

When I mount the new sr5 i get this
bash-3.00# mount /dev/sr5
mount: blockorientiertes Gerät /dev/sr5 ist schreibgeschützt, wird eingehängt im Nur-Lese-Modus
which is german saying blockdevice is write-protected, mounted read-only .
Now when I do a ls -F /mnt/sr5/* it is giving me
/mnt/sr5/AutoRun.exe* /mnt/sr5/Startup.ico*
/mnt/sr5/AUTORUN.INF* /mnt/sr5/SysConfig.dat*
/mnt/sr5/Internet Manager:
data.bin* Setup.exe*
/mnt/sr5/LinuxDriver:
Linux Driver 4.19.00.00.tar.gz*
/mnt/sr5/LinuxUserManual:
Linux Driver Tool User Guide .pdf*
This means that I would need to compile the driver everytime new whenever there is a new kernel install .
*
I was wondering in former times that people could not get their Huawei going, so I would like to excuse for any misleading tips that I might have given , and would like to ask if others found extra Linux Drivers on the ROM-Chip of their modems .
