I do not recommend just diving in and doing exactly the same things, at least not without sufficient research into each process. They did manage to get it working and it is detailed here.

However, I was not satisfied in my assumption that USB-host issues are what's holding you back so I did some digging and found someone who had similar issues on on Debian and ARM architecture. I only say this because you said that "everything works fine" when it is in that "top-left" port.Īddendum: If it is indeed a USB-host issue then there is no solve, beyond new hardware. I can't know too much about the situation based on your provided information but my barely-educated guess is that only your "top-left" USB port is a host and as such, the other ports can't fully power the dongle. Your device id may vary 0x1c0b or 0x1c05 (or even something else) In case it's still not working, refer to the further steps described here: Note: Now you should be good to go and able to connect via the GUI: Modem on: Bus 001 Device 008: ID 12d1:1c05 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Unplug and plug the USB device type lsusb.
