I have this modem which works fine in windows 10 but not detected at all in ubuntu. /home/johnk/Documents/1.jpg It has the following information at the back.

Model no : BD-6818 HSDPA WIRELESS DATA CARD USB STICK BD TECHNOLOGY (HK) CO.LIMITED

It is not detected by lsusb and I get this message from dmesg

[ 3706.384952] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 37 using xhci_hcd

I was once detected by usb-devices as ...

Manufacturer=Qualcomm,incoparated
product=qualcomm cdma technologies msm

...

but never again.

I think I have tried most of stuff from google and nothing was helpful. Am I missing something they dont just work in ubuntu.

    A shot in the dark: Some of those devices need a firmware package. If it works when you boot Windows first and then Linux, that may point to that general direction: In that case, Windows loads firmware into the device, and rebooting without really powering down the machine tends to keep it there. – HuHa Jan 01 '22 at 00:06

  • I have only ubuntu in my pc. I tested the dongle in another pc. I'll add windows 10 and try that. – JOHN KARIUKI Jan 01 '22 at 08:17
