@Cezary

Do you have another image I could try?

[behappy]

Hmm this is my script usb-modeswith is already included into image. And recent changes eliminate the need for this script.

Its indeed yr script. I've used yr build in a couple of months very satisfied for 3G connection.

Is it something i'm doing wrong?

[Cezary]

Because a lot of people (in Poland) uses my builds with huawei devices (most), IMO your ZTE requires something else to work.

Can you install picocom, and try communicate with modem?

picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

and insert AT<enter>, modem should response with OK

I got the modem to work

and i'm now a little embarrassed

The answer was

/dev/ttyUSB2

[ispyisail]

I thought "ttyUSB2" was "USB Mass Storage device"

[ispyisail]

How about a script that scans the usb ports for a 3g modem for auto detect?

Also as a new user and you have no access to SSH you can't tell if the modem has failed when you enter in the wrong port.

Just my thoughts
