Arduino Yun , openwrt modeswitch problem

Hi All,

i'm struggling a bit with the connection of a 3G dongle to the arduino Yun,
i followed every tutorial i could find on the net, but the problem is that i can 't set
the Huawei E303 dongle to modem mode, it sticks in CD rom or mass storage device.

I know that usb-modeswitch should deal with this, but according to this page :

"As of r36812, OpenWrt made significant changes with usb-modeswitch as part of procd system init daemon. The new usb-modeswitch package includes binary usbmode with json-based configuration instead of classic usb_modeswitch binary. Supported modems should switch automatically as long as usbmode service is active. The /etc/usb-mode.json configuration file looks partially like below."

I've been adding this to /etc/modules.d/60-usb-serial
usbserial vendor=0x058f product=0x6366 maxSize=4096

Normally, the USB modeswitch shoudl go automaticly, but it doesn't. The modem sticks into mass storage device.

Anyone any thoughts ? Any help will be higly appreciated !

You should probably ask the moderator to move this question to the Yun section of the Forum. Click "Report to Moderator" in this (my) post.

My general feeling is that the Yun is poor implementation of Linux and the Arduino team has bitten off more than it can chew. It's probably fine if you want it to do what it can do "out of the box".

I don't have the hardware to test but a quick google search show me this OpenWrt Forum Archive (with a encouraging [solved]) with it last post linking to this DD-WRT :: View topic - Problems with Huawei E353 modem on TP-LINK WR703N which talks about kernel modules cdc_ether and usbnet. Does that help?
