[Bug 560854] [NEW] usb A600 cricket 3g modem will not mount correctly

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Some 3g modems have a mode in which it initially mounts as a CD-ROM
drive with auto-start setup files to install drivers and related
software on a Windows and/or Mac OS X based system. In Ubuntu this
software is obviously not compatible. Ubuntu has drivers for many of
these kind of 3g modems but since they mount as a CD-ROM drive instead
of as a modem the proper drivers are not loaded. the work around is to
install usb_modemswitch package, however it can sometimes conflict with
some udev rules that were intended to do the same thing but was never
maintained. I would recommend that bug fixers should speak with
JoliCloud developers as they have seemed to fix this problem and
JoliCloud is based on Ubuntu. I also know that udev and the kernel have
their own method of fixing this but was never maintained, I am not sure
which method Ubuntu uses.
