zte ac8710 usb modem

helo backtrackers

i am using bt4

i am trying to connect thru via zte usb modem

when i connect the device my lsusb shows

19d2:fff6 as a storage usb

so i need to switch it to

19d2:fff1 in order to make it work as a modem

i modprobed 19d2:fff1 and

i used usb_modeswitch for that

and lsusb shows 19d2:fff1

the problem is that this device is not getting attatched to /dev/ttyUSB0 and i am unable to detect where it is getting attatched

i have even done mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0

this is also of no use

in short wvdialconf is not recognising my modem

i think this is the last bit of the problem can some one please help

the hardware is working perfectly with ubuntu jaunty

my box is having a dual boot between jaunty and bt

hmm since i solved this problem here is the solution

i modprobe the target vendor and product

then use modeswitch

install wvdial
