- Install the Connection Manager that is launched when you connect the modem to the Mac
- Download the source of
usb_modeswitch
from here http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ (at the moment of writing this the file appears with the name usb-modeswitch-2.5.2.tar.bz2) - Run
make
in the directory of the source you downloaded - Run
sudo ./usb_modeswitch -v12d1 -p1505 -X
in the same directory
If the last step returns an error (I don't remember the error now, but I was getting an error related to usb_modeswitch
not being able to take control of the modem to perfom changes):
- Unplug the modem and plug it again
- As soon as you plug the modem again, run
sudo ./usb_modeswitch -v12d1 -p1505 -X
repatedly until you get a successful result - Open Connection Manager and your modem is going to be detected
@Kyshman you probably aren't going to get this notification, but answering your question: I didn't get that error. Maybe @nirmall can point you in the right direction, because he installed that package.
Anyway, I'm not sure if you have to set that environment variable when the libusb library is installed in the default location like /usr/local or /usr.
