not %100 if i did this right but it works on all machines for my usb760 except for my machine.

I seem to have the same problem. I used to follow all the instructions in this forum and it worked for me. However this time, after I made the changes and attached the USB a new 'novatel' line is created to the 70-persistent-cd.rules file. So every time I connec the usb it mounts which it should be doing? Any ideas. I will post my cd.rules file.

First of all this thread helped me great in being able to use USB760.

But recently they "upgraded" my USB760 to AD3700 which they said has global support. But using the same trick as in the thread does not work. Any ideas?

All I know is, the manufacturer is ZTE.

[pdc]

insert the modem

open a terminal

type

uname -r

to see which kernel version you have installed

add a new command to the terminal

lsusb

copy and paste both results back here

Note the Vendor ID: Product ID for your modem from the lsusb command above; try substituting its value into the instructions in post #1 of this series of posts; see if that "flips" your device into being seen as a modem

Here is the output of my lsusb and uname -r.
I am pretty sure the first one (ONDA Corp...) is the one.
I tried the trick of using this ID with the instructions from the first post. No dice.

~$ uname -r
2.6.31-17-generic
~$ lsusb

if you google search on the id of your NEW device

19d2:fff2

you get

http://www.mail-archive.com/sony-vai.../msg00764.html

it comes up in this thread with the term gobi-loader

if you research a bit on gobi loader;

eg it figures here with Verizon

http://justslackin.wordpress.com/200...oadband-works/

seems your solution may involve loading gobi-loader but the first thread has copy and paste commands

[cu_]

insert the modem

open a terminal

type

to see which kernel version you have installed

add a new command to the terminal



copy and paste both results back here

Note the Vendor ID: Product ID for your modem from the lsusb command above; try substituting its value into the instructions in post #1 of this series of posts; see if that "flips" your device into being seen as a modem

Why didn't I think about searching by id. Great job. I will try and post if it works.

[pdc]

this would be best being a fresh post

the device is this I think; it has got NOTHING to do with the original subject of the thread

http://www.technotalks.com/reviews/v...and-usb-modem/

it needs to be "flipped";

does it give you an icon on your desktop when you plug it in?

Back to the USB 760. I have studied this device in detail (to the best of my abilities) and used a great deal of trial and error associated with a lot of time. I think I have now pretty much figured it out how it works.

My USB tethered Verizon LG8300 worked in 9.10 using the Network Manager applet instantly with absolutely no configuration. I felt there had to be a way to make the USB 760 work and that Ubuntu 9.10 must have all that is necessary to connect if the tethered cell phone worked so easily.

I have found that the USB 760 works quite well in Ubuntu 9.10 using the Network Manager applet alone and no special apps or command lines. It is a bit complicated at first but after you play a bit and develop your start up habits with your particular hardware/ software configuration I think you find it pretty easy.

I'm leaving a doc file attachment and I hope it works. The doc file describes it all and I hope it helps somebody. I got it to work on 3/3 different computers.

Good Luck.

After reading and rereading and....well you get the point. I am now using the usb760. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on an Alienware laptop. The instructions that got me working were from:

http://www.tenxfactor,com/2009/07/ub...o-working.html

When it says to install USB_modeswitch. you will also need to download usb_modeswitch_data. Place the files in /etc/ then install the usb_modeswitch_data first.

The next step is to edit the usb_modeswitch.conf file. He tells you to add his info to the file, but its already there. Here is where I found a problem for my modem..On the line under "Novatel U760 USB modem" that reads
" TargetProduct=0x6002 " ... I had to edit that line to say "TargetProduct=0x6000 "...

Every time you see 6002 in the instructions change it to 6000.

I did the lsusb in a terminal and looked for novatel and couldnt see it. I did find the 1410:6000 but no label identifying it as novatel so dont worry.

As far as making sure nothing comes up on desktop or devices my icons stay up and I connect just fine..

There is nothing in my network either to show I am connected.

After finishing the instructions I rebooted with the modem plugged in and open a terminal and type " sudo gnome-ppp " enter the info and click connect and whalla!

Also I don't have to type usb_modeswitch each time either.

Hope this helps.

I followed all this to the letter, verified my additions, and still there is no success. I am using a Gateway NV54, with 4 GB RAM, Intel T4300 proc and the Verizon USB760, which Verizon Tech Assistance says they don't support with Linux.
When I add all this verbiage to the files, 70-persistent-cd.rules and 10-modem.fdi, and then I save, close, and try to right click the applet, there is no selection for 'Auto mobile broadband (CDMA) connection' in the list. It has two check boxes for Networking and Wireless, which are either enabled, or not.
When it says that Verizon Wireless is 10% active, there is nothing I can do to connect to anything. It continues to tell me that the server can not be found, whether it is google.com, yahoo.com or whatever. If I try to ping the addresses, there is no response to them.
I know I am probably doing something wrong, but what. If I check the vzm website, it will not permit me to download anything but MS or MAC. No option for Linux. Can anyone help this old guy figure this out. (Yeah, I'm pretty ole... 67)
Thanks in advance. You're a great group out there. Joe
