If you need to find the magic secret sauce to get a Vodafone/Huawei K4606 going under linux then the following will help.
Stick the following contents into a file underĀ /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1f19 (the backslash is to escape the colon in the shell)
# Vodafone Mobile Broadband (Huawei) K4606
DefaultVendor= 0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1f19
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProduct= 0x1441
MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011062000000000000200000000000000"
Then, make sure that usb_modeswitch is invoked by Udev during hotplug by editing /etc/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
and then adding
ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1f19", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"
Here’s a blast from the past that I entirely forgot about. Noise Unit, a Frontline Assembly side project.
Hollow Ground, is an absolute classic that defined the era of industrial.
If you’re a masochist, and you really like that raw, and to the bone *nix experience then just install freebsd
FreeBSD, keeping sysadmins in protected jobs for 10 releases, and over 2 decades.
It is raw. Fucking raw. That being said, netgraph, and mpd5 absolutely rocks. Now if only Debian/kFreeBSD can get to a usable state then I’d switch for many server things.
What a well written article, and a conclusion that I wrote about nigh a few weeks ago.
The bottom line is that Ubuntu and Canonical’s relationship with the rest of free software is severely dysfunctional — and that no one on either side appears to have the will to fix it.
