Subject: [linux-hotplug] 3g modem is not recognized as an ethernet device without rebooting
Date: Sat, 24 May 2014 13:36:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5380A053.1080003@gmail.com> (raw)
I have two CentOS5 servers with kernel versions 3.4.52 and Huawei e353
usb 3g modem.
When I plug the modem to my server usb_modeswitch runs and I can
see the modem as an ethernet device with "ifconfig -a" command on the
properly working server.
But other server is not working properly. I can't see any ethernet after
I plug the modem device.
- All of servers have the same versions of the usb_modeswitch rpm.
before running usb_modeswitch
working properly not working properly
# lsusb | grep 12d1 # lsusb | grep 12d1

12d1:1f01
after running usb_modeswitch

# lsusb | grep 12d1 # lsusb | grep 12d1

usb_modeswitch-1.2.6-2 usb_modeswitch-1.2.6-2
- I have compared /etc/udev directories of the two servers with diff but
there
isn't any difference
There is an interesting thing about the not properly working server.
After I reboot the
server while the usb 3g modem plugged, the modem works properly and I
can see
it as an ethernet device with the "ifconfig -a" command. So I thought
that if i can
reload udev, I would see the modem as an ethernet device so I run the
following commands:
/sbin/udevcontrol reload_rules
/sbin/start_udev
But it did not solve the problem. And also I thought that the two
servers may have been
builded with different kernel parameters. So I compared the output of
"sysctl -a" on each server.

So what might be causing the problem? Why can't the other server
identify my 3g modem as an ethernet device without rebooting?
