Capt.Crow Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 This stick has defied my every attempt to install on Debian Squeeze. It works for me well on Slackware .Which I got up and running on the first try. All my main Internet stuff is on the Debian box . Which is crucial to my sanity. There are some Russian guides .Unfortunately Me no habla Ruski. Oh great Lords of the interweb please help us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt.Crow Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 What is the output from this command as root: dmesg | grep modem So sorry not to respond sooner. I've had a bumper crop of in'laws lately. Just beginning to sober up. Before the next shower. The up-side is they all bring litres of really good whiskey.

Capt.Crow Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 What is the output from this command as root: dmesg | grep modem There is no output it just returns me to root. I can access the modem which comes up as cdrom2 .ttyS1 gives me no info. I have moved(maybe a shortcut)all the files on the modem to the desktop. When I try to use the linux install exe. I just get no permissions. I am gutted now that I have been using the Deb-box.Compared to this netbook its a Ferrari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrat Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Does it show up when you run lsusb? The thread at http://askubuntu.com/questions/525965/huawei-e3272-ubuntu suggests it may merely need a udev rule to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Crow Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yes I did have a look at lsusb. Nothing showed.

Not always interfaces well with Perhaps you could try a livecd of another distro to see if it shows up. If it does, you might be able to figure out the module(driver) it uses.

sunrat Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I suggest to try a Live CD/DVD of Debian Jessie. Squeeze is nearly 5 years old and may not recognize the device. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 5 years in the tech world is a looong time; especially for Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it works on LInux, just not the old version of debian? Check which modules they are using and let me know. I will give you a link to the package you need if its available for your version.

Capt.Crow Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Catching up on huge backlog of outside work . Falling asleep over the keys . Not a good condition to be in while rootling in the kernel ...The air and the light are so clean just after sunup. and the quiet is breathtaking.... Really need 23 days good weather.
