Bug Description
On LTS releases, the 3G information database should be kept up to date for recent devices to work.
For example, I recently found out that the Huawei K3772 device did not work out of the box because usbmodeswitch wouldn't switch it to the right mode. The usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data pacakges were up to date.
For this device the system could be fixed by creating a file called:
/etc/usb_
containing
----------------
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProduct= 0x14cf
MessageContent=
--------------
plus adding to /lib/udev/
# Huawei K3772
ATTRS{idVendor}
Since reporting one bug per device that doesn't work is too much overhead, can we have a meta bug just for this and let the users contribute their product IDs to guide the updating of the pacakge?
