Hi.

Sorry if the question has already been.

I have SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 sp3
I download src usb-modeswitch-1.2.5.tar.bz2 and usb-modeswitch-data, then i do untar and make install
Compile and install Ok.

Then copy 12d1:1446 from /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/ to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1446

Code: Select all

lll:~ # more /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1446
# Huawei, newer modems

DefaultVendor=  0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1446

TargetVendor=  0x12d1
TargetProductList="1001,1406,140b,140c,1412,141b,1432,1433,1436,14ac,1506,1511"

MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000"

Manually everything works well, i.e. i do

Code: Select all

usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1446
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1506

But after a reboot i have to enter these commands again.

How to automatically run usb_modeswitch on SLES?
I tried to add rules to the udev rules.d

Code: Select all

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS(idProduct)=="1446", SYSFS(idVendor)=="12d1", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/my.sh"

Code: Select all

lll:~ # more /usr/local/sbin/my.sh
usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1446
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1506

but it did not help
I enabled logging on /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf, but no log file created...

Thanks for help.

shouldnt you run something like this:
sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
instead of
usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1446


btw in usm_modeswitch.conf you have the parameter for autoswitching , maybe set that to enabled. Like you did for logging. Run that and you should get a log file.

No no, please don't use /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf for device-specific settings !!!

This advice is from around four years ago, things have changed quite a bit since then.


The whole point of the current 'framework' of usb_modeswitch is to make the process fully automatic. If that does not work for you, evdras, make sure you have the required system packages installed, especially "tcl".

Have a look at the USB_ModeSwitch main doc page again (see top nav bar) or re-read the README in the "usb-modeswitch" source package.

I just looked up the kernel version of SLES 10 and it's very dated; it may be that other components are quite old as well.
If you have the "tcl" package installed and there is still no log created, have a look at your syslog (in /var/log). There may be an issue with "udev" and the "rules" file syntax, which should be mentioned in the log.

Thanks for the answer.

TCL installed - ver 8.4.12
tclsh - command available

Have a look at the USB_ModeSwitch main doc page again (see top nav bar) or re-read the README in the "usb-modeswitch" source package.

If you have the "tcl" package installed and there is still no log created, have a look at your syslog (in /var/log). There may be an issue with "udev" and the "rules" file syntax, which should be mentioned in the log.

I re-read main doc page in section "Old systems (e.g. CentOS 5 or Xandros 6)"
Then copy 40-usb_modeswitch.rules from /lib/udev/rules.d to /etc/udev/rules.d and change the logging level to "debug" in /etc/udev/udev.conf.
In messages log:

Code: Select all

Jan 25 08:17:48 krp-vc udevd[937]: add_to_rules: unknown key 'ATTRS{bNumConfigurations}', in 'KERNEL'
...
Jan 25 08:18:28 krp-vc udevd[937]: add_to_rules: unknown key 'ATTRS{bNumConfigurations}', in 'ATTR{bInterfaceClass}'

Then i replace all occurences of "ATTR" and "ATTRS" with "SYSFS" in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
No error in messages with rules, but USB_ModeSwitch log not cteated.

What event search in messages log which starts (or not) USB_ModeSwitch?

[evdras]

I looked man udev in SLES10 and your rules file.
Then rewrote the rules, now it looks like this:

Code: Select all

ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}=="*", PROGRAM="usb_modeswitch --symlink-name %p %s{idVendor} %s{idProduct} %E{PRODUCT}", SYMLINK="%c"
ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{bInterfaceClass}=="ff", SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="00", SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}=="*", RUN+="usb_modeswitch --driver-bind %p %s{idVendor} %s{idProduct} %E{PRODUCT}"
ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

1. Now USB_ModeSwitch logs are created.
2. If system already started and work, i remove/insert modem and all work good.

3. If turn off the computer and then turn, no switched device...

Maybe i need to add "sleep <sec>" in code?

Thanks for help.

I was able to switch modem at cold start the PC, but this is wrong way...
I wrote startup script:
1. Create file after.local in /etc/init.d
2. Add code

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -c /usr/local/bin/12d1:1446

аfter this udev rules work (from the previous post) at cold start the PC.

P.S. /usr/local/bin/12d1:1446 - the path where i copied config 12d1:1446
