huawei e182e usb-modem not working

After yesterdays new upgrades with the kernel (among other things) the modem now works again with no manual work.

I Have the same problem
ubuntu 10.04 up to date

But if i start windows first and login, and then reboot without repluggin the device, it works. othervise nothing

this worked for my e182 even though it is for 1550
 you will have to enter pin manualy though

Michael, did you install the udev-extras... Does this package exist on 10.04 ? What part of the link fixed the problem.
Have the E182E, it does not show up as a modem

Yes i installed udev extras (if i remember right it said something about udev-extras being a part uf udev now)
 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install udev-extras

and then ran this command and did a reboot.

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch --vendor 0x12d1 --product 0x1446 --type option-zerocd"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/45-huawei1550.rules

Then it showed up. but still looped forever if i just tryed to connect, but after entering the pin manualy it worked.

Btw before the fix i was able to get it working by loggin in to my windows 7 connect to the internet, and then reboot without plugging the usb out, because it remembers the pin and mode or something. so it showed up and i was able to connect and get the rest working :)

**then it showed up but looped forever

no still at the beginning it didnt show up

I got the HUAWEI E182E to work on two laptops with the following procedure.

1) gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/15-huawei-e182e.rules

2) Paste and save the following

SUBSYSTEM==”usb”,
SYSFS{idProduct}==”1446″,
SYSFS{idVendor}==”12d1″,
RUN+=”/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0×1446 -t option-zerocd”

3) Restart computer (or at least udev)

After this it still didnt work, so I tried to also

4) sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch

and after next insert of the modem it was found and all I had to do was to add a new mobile broadband internet connection for HUAWEI in the connection manage and it worked just fine. Of course I don't know if step 1-3 is actually necessary or not, but I thought I better write too much info than too little. :)

Interestingly enough, the memorystick part of the modem is still visible and reachable/browsable as a CD, but it properly switches from :1446 to :14ac and works just fine as a modem as well at the same time. Maybe this has to do with the presence of the micro sd slot on the modem.

BTW the two laptops above was running Ubuntu and Xubuntu 10.04 respectively, both fully updated.
