Ubuntu – Huawei e303c data-card not working for Ubuntu 11.04

I encountered the same problem. Earlier the datacard was working fine with Ubuntu 12.04, without installing any software. But as soon as I installed the linux drivers which were bundled with the device, it stopped working.

After a lot of searching, and digging into the install script, I found a simple solution. Run the following commands in the terminal, to get Huawei E303c working again:

sudo apt-get remove usb-modeswitch usb-modeswitch-data
sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch

These commands will reinstall usb-modeswitch. Actually, the whole problem arises because Huawei drivers modify the usb-modeswitch data files, reinstalling them will solve the issue.
