Hi, everyone!
I have some sort of troubles with the 3g modem Huawei E8231. I tried to switch its mode:

It looks like the mode was changed, but I don't see any new devices or interfaces:

$ ifconfig #no usb0

Can anyone help me to figure out how to make it work? |

It's look like the cellular modem have it's network link at eth1 instead of a /dev/ttyUSB* serial nodes. So what return
If you see an eth1 link you can make it up and try a dhcp request on it and see if it connect to Internet. If not, I know that mobile USB devices need at least the option support activated in /Devices Drivers/Usb support/Usb Serial Converter Support/USB driver for GMS and CDMA modems (CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_OPTION) Linux kernel configuration. If compile as a module, it's name is option.
I haven't use mobile devices since long.

erthalion,
| Code: | | CDC Ethernet Device, 00:1e:10:1f:00:00 |
That's a bit naughty of Huawei. That's a Cisco MAC address.
If its really eth1, how do you get it to dial ... PPPoE ?

Did you need to install a certain device driver for that thing?
There is something on http://linux-drivers.net. |

Thanks a lot! It works after the following commands:
| Quote: | # ifconfig eth0 down
# ifconfig eth1 up
# dhcpcd |
