- 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
