4g usb modem -mode switch not happening. shows as disk drive

(1/2) > >>

ltrk:
I am running CorePlus version 9. I tried connecting a 4g usb modem but it shows up as a disk drive. I am guessing the mode seitch to modem is not happening.

I could not find  way to check kernel messages -I just looked for /var/log/messages but thats not there -perhaps its something else?

Do I need to configure anything for the modem to be correctly detected. I thought in the newer kernel this was automatic

Rich:
Hi ltrk
To view kernel messages, you can:

--- Quote ---dmesg > dmesg.txt
--- End quote ---
and view it with a text editor. Or you can pipe it through the  less  command:

--- Code: ---dmesg | less
--- End code ---
and use  page up/page down  to navigate through the results.

Add the  syslog  boot code and it will be there.

curaga:
Did you install the modules (usb-serial-KERNEL)? For some sticks those are enough, for others you need usb-modeswitch in addition.

ltrk:
Hi Rich
Tanks for the info will check that

ltrk:
hi curaga
No I have not installed those modules -thought they would be built-in.

I need to offline install these modules -I dont have a network yet. How do I ensure I pick up right version? I saw some discussion in the forums about getting the right version. I'm running on a x86 box.
