Thanks for the update. It's good the usb_modeswitch now handles the device. This may be helpful to others who come searching.

The udev rules are not needed anymore.
usb_modeswitch actually supports HP lt4132, but somehow it is not configured to be used.

So it was sufficient to edit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
by adding the following lines:

#HP lt4132
ATTR{idVendor}==“03f0”, ATTR{idProduct}==“a31d”, RUN+=“usb_modeswitch ‘/%k’”

Now the modem activated perfectly after reboot/suspend.

Hi,

I have the same problem with my distro (Slackware64) :(
I've followed your suggestion but how did you manage to put the modem working?
Now with ifconfig I have a new interface called usb0 but I don't know how to put it working :banghead:.
Thanks.
Best regards,

Pedro
