Subject: [Skunkworks] New Zain Huwaei E1550 & Orange Everywhere ZTE Modem on Linux
Now that Zain are back in business with a newer sexier modem and new
bundles, for those trying to set them up on Linux, you see them as a
Cdrom. To load them as a modem automatically, install the package
usb-modeswitch.
For fedora, yum install usb-modeswitch.
It switches the modems from cdrom to usb mode. You also need to
disable the SIM pin too, I think.
After that, you can connect with the network manager applet just like
the saf modem.
