Hi everyone

i am having issues with the Huawei K4606 (3G Modem)
i am running Openwrt Attitude Adjustment 12.09 on X86 hardware

using various guides and sites on the net i think i have managed to get it to switch into modem mode but not sure why it isnt working

dmesg gives this

have setup the file at /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1f19 with this in it

# Vodafone Mobile Broadband (Huawei) K4606

DefaultVendor=  0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1f19

my /etc/config/network has this in it that relates to the 3g

config interface 'wan3g'
        option ifname 'ppp0'
        option service 'umts'
        option proto '3g'
        option demand '0'
        option apn 'vfprepaymbb'
        option device '/dev/ttyUSB0'

have looked at these links for help

i think it have gotten it to switch properly but not sure if i am addressing it correctly in the network config file

any help you can give would be much appreciated

Thanks
