Hi,

I've been trying Fedora 21 and Fedora 22. While Fedora 21 detects the device itself and the network operator "Play Online" (Poland) correctly, it doesn't show any Billing Plan, and after the configuration it spends a long while trying to connect (the blue LED on the device shines then constantly). Then, the system gives up (LED off). Fedora 22 doesn't detect the device at all.

I've been trying to follow this tutorial:

http://www.modemunlock.com/huawei-linux-driver-download-and-installation.html

It gave a lot of errors during installation, saying that only modem will work. This didn't however seem to affect the system's or device's behaviour.

This issue applies to both 32 bit and 64 bit, KDE and Gnome, tested on two totally different laptops. Entering the PIN code, and/or manipulating with Verification Methods didn't help at all.

Additiionally it seems to go the same way on every Linux distribution that is based on RPM packages (PCLinuxOS, Fedora 21, 22,Rosa Linux, Manjaro, Open Mandriva), while the modem works just out-of-the-box on DEB distributions i've tested (*buntu, Mint, Debian).

Any ideas, please?

EDIT

journalctl -f reports this:

I made in bold what seems to me important.

Well, normally the USB modems works in Fedora without installing any custom drivers. Take a fresh Fedora 21 and create a profile for your network provider and post the output results.

It is not necessary to install any driver for this device on fedora. I have used this Huawei e3372 in fedora 20 without need for installing any driver. You should be able to use it just by configuring it via network manager. If you want additional options, you may install ModemManager by simply typing sudo yum install modem-manager-gui in terminal. Then you can find the application Modem Manager GUI in applications and you can run it to use your mobile broadband.

In Fedora =< 20 the modem works just out-of-the-box. However I would prefer not to be stuck on those while tomorrow comes the newest one. The modem-manager-gui returns just this:

Error while initialization No one modem manager available

post the output results.

Results from where? System just notifies that it is connecting, then after a while, that it is disconnected. I have dug out that it cannot get the IP Address from the network. Through this:

journalctl -f

I got this:

|...] NetworkManager |762]: <info> (cdc-wdm0): device state change: ip-config -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable') |70 120 5] |...]

I've replaced the [ symbols with |, because otherwise the line kept disappearing. ;-p

EDIT:

Clean Fedora 22 install doesn't even list the modem, so I can't configure it.

EDIT 2:

I haven't used a modem-manager-gui (never had to because the existing gnome-network-manager gui works out of box).
