2.7.5 and USB 3G Dongles

[Sebkinne]

Hey everyone,

There seems to be an issue with usb-modeswitch on the 2.7.5 firmware. To debug it further though, we need a bit of help from you guys.

Anyone that has a 3G modem and is on 2.7.5, could you try to make a connection and report back if it works or not?

Anyone that has a 3G modem and is willing to help and is not on 2.7.5, could you upgrade and see if it works?

Best Regards,

Sebkinne

Ah, that is great! Well, it isn't but now we know the library we are missing..

Please keep the reports coming!

Just dusted my Pineapple off today to try it out with a USB 3g dongle - first thing I did was update the firmware to 2.7.5.

After about an hour of futzing around with the config I went into the shell and ran the usb_modeswitch directly. This is what I got: usb_modeswitch: can't load library 'libusb-0.1.so.4'.

Hope that helps!
