I have Ubuntu 14.04 and problem with Mobile Internet (Huawei USB-stick). When stick is plugged in upper left USB slot, everything works fine, when is plugged in any of two slots in lower right – not working at all. At first I thought that device can not be recognized, but Ubuntu recognize it clearly, how do I set modem on?
When in first USB slot:
my.comp@Skynet:~$ lsusb
...
Bus 003 Device 006: ID 12d1:1c08 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
...
When in second USB slot:
my.comp@Skynet:~$ lsusb
...
Bus 003 Device 007: ID 12d1:1c0b Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E173s
3G broadband stick (modem off)
...
I hope that this is not duplicate question, I've red (and tried) most of the solutions posted here, none worked

Here's what I did based on this description:
Open a terminal, run
lsusb
:Create a file
/etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1c05
Paste this content:
Add corresponding lines to
/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
withsudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
:gksudo gedit /etc/modules
, and add this:Unplug and plug the USB device type
lsusb
. Now it should be modem on:Now you should be good to go and able to connect via the GUI:
In case it's still not working, refer to the further steps described here: http://metodiew.com/huawei-e173s-and-ubuntu/
