CSL U1-TF on UBUNTU9.10

After 3 months of trying, finally it is work.....the problem solve after changing the wrong code inside "usb_modeswitch.conf"

Intoduction

"The main idea here is to put the usb device into modem mode using usb_modeswitch. At first, once plug in, it will show as a usb storage device (it does seems to be a storage device for windows drivers) and later by using usb_modeswitch, the storage device will switch into modem mode."

The CSL U1-TF is using these vendor IDs:

Storage mode:

vendor 0×1c9e
product 0×1001

Modem mode:

vendor 0×1c9e
product 0×9603

(product ID is same for same model of modem, but may vary if different modem)

Step by step guide:
1=install usb_modeswitch, libusb and also wvdial using synaptic package manager...(the easiest way ever)

2=Edit "usb_modeswitch.conf"(located in /etc) and delete all data in "usb_modeswitch.conf" then paste the following code. The code may vary for different model or brand of modem.


##########
# Settings for Micromax MMX 300G USB Modem
##########
DefaultVendor = 0x1c9e
DefaultProduct = 0xf000

TargetVendor = 0x1c9e
TargetProduct = 0x9603

MessageEndpoint=0x01

MessageContent="55534243123456788000000080000606f50402527000000000000000000000"

3= Add a [Dialer] section your wvdial.conf file (located in /etc) to look like this:

[Dialer digi]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99#
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
New PPPD = yes
Baud = 912600
Idle Seconds = 0
Auto Reconnect = 1
Auto DNS = 1
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Dial Command = ATD
Ask Password = 0
FlowControl = NOFLOW
Username = user
Password = pass

4= Type sudo gedit /usr/sbin/initmodem.sh in terminal and write down this code and save it.

#!/bin/sh
sudo usb_modeswitch
sleep 10
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9603

then, type chmod +x the initmodem.sh file.(or type sudo nautilus, find the file click properties and check execute in permission tab)
**9603 is the product ID in modem mode

5=Finally, plug in your CSL modem and type sudo /usr/sbin/initmodem.sh in the terminal

The output on the screen such as below:

ming@ming-laptop:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/initmodem.sh

 * usb_modeswitch: tool for controlling "flip flop" mode USB devices
 * Version 1.0.2 (C) Josua Dietze 2009
