Switch to root and execute the following linux command with the information you retrieved previously: # usb_modeswitch -R -v 19d2 -p 1010įound devices in default mode or class (1) Now that we have this information we can attempt to reset it with usb_modeswitch. Is my Vodafone USB mobile broadband device, where 19d2 is vendor ID and 1010 is product ID.
In my case the line: Bus 001 Device 007: ID 19d2:1010 ONDA Communication S.p.A. This will print out all USB devices connected system bus: Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 001 Device 007: ID 19d2:1010 ONDA Communication S.p.A.īus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub To do that we first need vendor and product ID in a hexadecimal form.
If you are in the same situation you may also try to reset your Vodafone USB mobile broadband device. It is not guaranteed solution but its worth to try. Eventually after many attempts to make an Internet connection I had reseted it with a usb_modeswitch command to make it working again. However, after couple minutes I got disconnected I was not able to connect again even when the blue light on the Vodafone USB mobile broadband device was making a clear blue blinking signal that network was found and all I need to do is to just connect. First time I used my vodafone USB mobile broadband device on my Fedora Linux system it worked perfectly.
