Did it work with earlier versions of usb_modeswitch ?

Comment 2 Marcus Specht 2010-04-28 08:56:38 UTC

It worked in the f13 alpha phase. Not sure when it stopped working, because i only use it now and then when i am in the train.

Comment 3 Marcus Specht 2010-04-29 13:02:12 UTC

Found the problem. The MessageContent for the ZTE 3565-Z is wrong. 

This is working for me:

DefaultVendor=  0x19d2
DefaultProduct= 0x2000
TargetVendor=   0x19d2
TargetProductList="0063"
CheckSuccess=20
MessageContent="5553424312345678000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000"

Comment 4 Josua Dietze 2010-08-21 21:12:27 UTC

You could try the following variant of the ZTE entry, if you have version 1.1.3 which is in Fedora Update:

---------------
DefaultVendor=  0x19d2
DefaultProduct= 0x2000

TargetVendor=   0x19d2
TargetProductList="0001,0002,0015,0016,0017,0031,0037,0052,0055,0063,0064,0108,0128"

MessageContent="5553424312345678000000000000061e000000000000000000000000000000"
MessageContent2="5553424312345679000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000"
MessageContent3="55534243123456702000000080000c85010101180101010101000000000000"
NeedResponse=1

CheckSuccess=20

---------------

To the best of my knowledge, this combination will handle really all "19d2:2000" devices.
It is used in the latest upstream release of the data package, "20100817".

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2011-06-02 14:46:33 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 6 Josua Dietze 2011-06-02 14:56:36 UTC

This bug can be closed. The sequence suggested in comment #4 is working with
all of the quirky ZTE devices. All newer Fedora releases have it included.

"Upstream"

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 15:55:37 UTC

Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
