Vodafone USB stick internet service does not always start upon boot in Linux Mint 18


Hello everyone,

I am using a Vodafone Mobile Broadband 4G USB for internet access on my desktop. I am running Linux Mint 18.

The internet service does not always start. When it does, there are no prompts, and a USB Ethernet connection is automatically established. When it fails to start, a link to the folder is shown on the Desktop area with installation instructions.

Basically, it is necessary to run an autorun scrip (autorun.sh). When I try to run it, i get the following output:

Code:
install begin... 
the Mobile Broad HL Service has been installed before. 
now begin to verify version ... 
the INSTALLED version is : 22.001.10.08.5011
the INSTALLING version is : 22.001.10.08.5011
do you want to re-install it?([Y]/N):y
yes/install...
begin to copy file... 
copy end ...
begin to install ...
/tmp/MobileBrServ_AutoRun/linux_mbb_install/install: line 497: chkconfig: command not found
install success...
run the process... 
/usr/local/MobileBrServ/mbbservice
/usr/local/MobileBrServ/mbbservice: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
install end... 
Press any key to exit.
As it stands, I happen to own the library it refers to, and it is located in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusb-0.1.so.4. It is a symlink to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusb-0.1.so.4.4.4..

Any ideas as to why this may be happening? Maybe i need to create another symlink to this library in the folder that is being searched? Any help is appreciated.

All I can offer (from a quick Google) is a couple of similar threads...

Maybe this will work for you?
Code:
sudo apt-get install libusb-0.1-4:i386

Wonder where the issue is. Might start with lsusb, ip/ifconfig or use network or dmesg or /var logs.

ferrari, I will try your suggestion once i have the opportunity (probably only Wednesday). If it is not successfull, i'll post the outputs of the commands. Thank you.

EDIT: The library that was suggested has already been installed. I'm posting the outputs of lsusb, ifconfig and dmesg below, in order (dmesg was too big, so I posted a pastebin link instead):
