I was able to connect only once and use internet. That time, lsusb displayed:

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 12d1:1506 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E398 LTE/UMTS/GSM Modem/Networkcard

But after I disconnected the data card and tried to connect, its not connecting to the internet. lsusb now displays:

Bus 002 Device 007: ID 12d1:1446 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E1552/E1800/E173 (HSPA modem)

I am not able to understand what should I do to again able to connect to internet. Please guide me to make this work.

  • Mine is MTS MBlaze Ultra Data Card.
  • I have done similar to the steps which you have mentioned. I was able to connect to internet ONCE. But after that I am unable to connect to internet. I have mentioned the two different lsusb output: a) when it connected to internet, b) when I am unable to connect to internet. Please tell me what to do because the steps which you have mentioned worked once but its not working after that.

  • Thanks for the link.

    I wanted to try the setup option which involves extracting .deb file. I have questions regarding that:

    (1) To extract .deb file, I need to cd into that directory. What should be the directory?

    (2) Usually whenever we connect any device using USB, it shows up in Files -> Devices. But I can't see anything else except "Computer".

    Whereas when i give the command "lsusb" in terminal, I see "E1552/E1800/E173 (HSPA modem)"
