Hi,

I'm using Proxmox with an OPNSense VM and it's working flawlessly. Now I wanted to set up an LTE connection as the WAN interface. For this, I bought the Huawei E3372s, but unfortunately, I'm unable to switch the mode.

Here is the current status:

• USB devices: usbconfig | grep Huawei

  Code: Select all

    bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 
    bDeviceProtocol = 0x00ff 
    bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040 
    idVendor = 0x12d1 
    idProduct = 0x14fe

• Permissions: ls -l /dev/ugen1.2

• Switch mode: sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 14fe -W -J (or -H or -X)

  Code: Select all

  Take all parameters from the command line
  
   * usb_modeswitch: handle USB devices with multiple modes
   * Version 2.6.0 (C) Josua Dietze 2017
   * Based on libusb1/libusbx
  
   ! PLEASE REPORT NEW CONFIGURATIONS !
  
  DefaultVendor=  0x12d1
  DefaultProduct= 0x14fe
  HuaweiNewMode=1
  
  Look for default devices ...
    found USB ID 0000:0000
    found USB ID 0000:0000
    found USB ID 0627:0001
    found USB ID 12d1:14fe
     vendor ID matched
     product ID matched
   Found devices in default mode (1)
  Access device 002 on bus 001
  Get the current device configuration ...
   Determining the active configuration failed (error -5). Abort
  

What I've tried so far:

• Different USB ports: Mainboard, front I/O, both 2.0 and 3.0
• Proxmox USB forwarding: by port / by ID
• On a Fedora laptop: correct mode is immediately recognized, everything works fine there -> so the device it self is fine?

Any ideas?

It may be that the stick does some switching before usb_modeswitch has a chance.

Try to call "dmesg" repeatedly after inserting the stick, but without running usb_modeswitch. What does it say?
(You may have to do that as root)

I'm getting the "E3372s (12d1:14fe) error -5" while trying to print a document from Adobe Acrobat Pro DC on my Windows 10 laptop. I've already tried restarting my computer, reinstalling the printer driver, and updating Adobe Acrobat, but the error persists. Any ideas on how to fix this?
