The device appears to present itself as an AT-compatible modem NetworkManager seems to have it dial `*99***1#`. I haven't tried it myself, but the ubuntu forums link above does mention wvdial as a viable alternative. I have to say, it has been ten years since I last used wvdial, and I found it rock solid back then, so if I had had problems with NetworkManager then wvdial would be my next port of call.) There are also some people in the Ubuntu world who refuse to use NetworkManager, preferring to do things the old way for them, wvdial is obviously the way.

wait until NetworkManager tells you you're connected, and a couple more seconds for nf to be updated (also see below).ДЄnecdotally from the forums, wvdial is said to be more reliable than NetworkManager.

select the connection name from the NetworkManager drop-down list.

Once the connection is set up, the steps boil down to:

The wizard asks you pertinent questions thankfully, under T-Mobile there is only the one price plan and no need to enter a username or password.

(If not, wait a few more seconds and try again.) If the device has been recognised, you will see menu items for Mobile Broadband, and the option to create a new connection.

Click on the NetworkManager icon in the menubar.

I found this can take up to 15 seconds from issuing the eject.

Be sure to wait for the modem device to settle down.

(Remove and re)insert the device and 'eject' it as described above.

Create the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/20-zte-mf626.fdi as described at step 10 of.

Reportedly the NetworkManager is a bit flakey with USB modems in jaunty, but I had no problem in karmic.

I found I did need to be patient and wait several seconds between insertion of the device and invoking the program this might be what stops the udev rule from working.

Editing /etc/usb_nf to uncomment the relevant lines for the ZTE MF626 allowed it to work from the command line ( sudo usb_modeswitch ) - most of the time, on one machine, but not at all on the other.

You'll have to edit it and comment out that stanza I did try the stanza for the MF626 but couldn't get it to work at all.

The package in karmic comes with /etc/udev/rules.d/usb_les which have the ZTE MF620 enabled by default.

You can fire up minicom at this point on at least two of the three - 115200 8N1 with hardware flow control works - and send it AT commands :-) Geeky side note: Once you have successfully mode-switched, the device appears as three ttyUSB devices.

Wait a few more seconds - watch messages if you like - then run lsusb to confirm the device is now 19d2:0031.

This takes a few seconds to come in as the device boots up and udev figures out what it appears to be.

Watch /var/log/messages to get the device node for the SCSI CDROM it thinks you just inserted (sr1 usually).

(It's in the Ubuntu archive.) Unfortunately, this didn't work reliably for me on one machine, I eventually had it working most of the time, but there was no such luck on my laptop.ДЄlmost by accident, I tripped over some steps which seem to work every time:

#Zte mf626 driver windows 10 install#

It used to be the case that you had to install a program called usb_modeswitch which sent the magic command to the device. When you have the driver, it issues a magic command to the device, which causes it to magically change its USB product ID to that of the real modem device (in this case, 19d2:0031).

It's one of a growing trend of ZeroCD devices: when you plug them in, they report themselves as being of type USB mass storage (in this case, 19d2:2000 - check it with lsusb), with an autorun.inf which installs the drivers and other paraphernalia. The MF626 is not your average USB device. Rumour had it that it ought to work under Ubuntu Google brought me to which contains some useful info for Jaunty (9.04) but turns out to be a bit out of date with regard to Karmic (9.10). They call it the вЂњUSB stick 120вЂќ other networks likely call it something different. The ZTE MF626 is a 3G modem stick resold by T-Mobile in the UK.
