Vodafone wireless modem

October 22, 2010 — BarryK

I have posted recently about issues with getting this working. I did, but it is peculiar.

The chip is a ZTE and the modem is model K3765, and I have just come across some interesting information in the changelog of the 2.6.34.4 kernel:

    USB: option: add huawei k3765 k4505 devices to work properly



    commit 0372a754be9aa43e19fd86c9bc04796d43b55e38 upstream.



    This patch adds the product IDs of Huawei's K3765 and K4505 mobile

    broadband usb modems to option.c. It also adds a quirk to the option

    probe function so that binding to the device's network interface(class

    0xff) is avoided. This is necessary to allow another driver to bind to

    that, and to avoid programs like wvdial opening a nonfunctioning tty

    during modem discovery.

"Oh, yes, sorry, I am getting confused. I don't have it with me, left it in Perth and forgot what it was.
