I have O2 in UK. This was the LAST PIECE OF PUZZLE for me. I needed to install usb_modeswitch program (having read http://dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=254 and located the source via http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/) There were a couple of issues - 1) compiling modeswitch required that i run synaptic from command line and install usb_dev and ....2) Mr draisberghof has a suggestion for mdifying /etc/udev/rules.d files....well, I found a file (99-novatel-ovation.rules) and that called a script in /usr/sbin/ovation.sh. The suggested mod was to make this script call usb_modeswitch AND modprbe usbserial vendor=blah etc.....but....that (as someone else pointed out) didnt work with the usbserial module that I had. ****BUT*** the "modprobe option" command suggested by Risotto - fixees the problem. So......whew!!! - **AT LAST I have /dev/ttyUSB0** and so the connection mangler now works!!. THanks to all.....works much better than XP under virtualbox (which I keep just in case) Works Great.

After trying to save /sbin/modprobe option echo "0x1410 0x4400" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id A dialogue appears at the bottom of the terminal stating ‘recording.’ Nothing seems to happen after this. It remains in this state indefinitely (I have left it for hours) without closing. I can physically find the file with File Manager and can open it with ‘Text Editor’ but I am unable to save the change in this way. Its error is that I don’t have either enough space or write access. Is there something I am obviously overlooking? I have followed this instruction exacty.

After trying to save

Ignore the fact it thinks the modem is a mass storage device (default eeePC usb setting) just make the edits to "rc.local" and remember to enable the its execution during the boot up, then restart. If your still having trouble with PC thinking the modem is a mass storage device then have a look at this post on how to change that setting. http://overuseee.pistooli.com/?p=7 I’m using O2 broadband – i follow the instructions exactly including the ID (1410/4400) and it worked.
