I've been trying to install my broadband modem on Fedora 17, using the included files on the device itself first, then using usb_modeswitch ...etc.
...but it never works, unless I do one thing, which is start my computer on Windows, then fire-up the stick modem, make sure it's working, then restart to Fedora 17.
Otherwise, it doesn't work at all. If I start with fedora, or if i stick it in the computer after logging in, or anything that doesn't include the exact steps above: it does not connect, and is detected like a flash drive.
What do I do?
