Hi,
I am trying to connect EC1260 wireless data modem HSD USB card from CLI.
I have followed below steps, needed further steps used to connect it to internet.
System details
core i3 processor, 4gb RAM, Installed Fedora-18-x86_64-DVD as a infrastructure server and no GUI available.
lsusb cmd detects it as:-
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 12d1:140b Huawei Tech. EC 1260 wireless data modem HSD USB card.

dmesg | less outputs:-
option 2-1.6:1.0 : GSM modem (1-port) converter detected.
USB 2-1.6:1.0 : GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0.

Contents of usb_modeswitch.conf file
DisablingSwitching=0 and EnableLogging=1

For further steps do i need wvdial package

Please let me Know if any other information is needed.

Thanks,

cd etc/usb_modeswitch.d
cat 12d1:1505
It gives:-
# Huawei EC156, Huawei E372u-8
TargetVendor= ox12d1

TargetProductList="140b,1506,150f,150a"

MessageContent="555342431......................... ..........................................."

This shows that my device (i.e. 140b present in TargetProductList) is supported by usb_modeswitch
