Hello,

is anyone was able to install this modem under RHEL 5.6?

i got this modem and i didn't find anything in google.

thanks.

Probably because this modem is meant to be Plug'nPlay with Ubuntu.
Do you have usb_modeswitch installed?

how do i implement the rules? i found out that my modem in lsusb is Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0421:0637 Nokia Mobile Phones
and in the data folder i have this file 0421:0637 so how do i implement it?

thanks
eyal

and also i have successfully oprate the modem Yeeyyyy :-)

but only from command line like so:

/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -v 0421 -p 0637 -c usb-modeswitch-data-20120531/usb_modeswitch.d/0421\:0637

and here is the output:

but the question is why it is not done automatically via the usb_modeswitch??

thanks for the help

I'm not too familiar with RHEL so I can't say why it doesn't switch automatically.
Actually, RHEL used to include support. That was what you paid for. But I see they no longer include the support in the basic package. (but they still charge for it lol)
