I'll check after rebooting

Just for the record:

In Mga5 there is no problem with (probably old):

usb_modeswitch-2.2.1-1.mga5
lib64ldetect0.12-0.12.8-1.mga5
ldetect-0.12.8-1.mga5
ldetect-lst-0.1.346.4-1.mga5

[marja@Mga5_64bit ~]$ lspcidrake -v | grep -i huawei
option          : HUAWEI|HUAWEI Mobile (vendor:12d1 device:1506)
[marja@Mga5_64bit ~]$ lsusb | grep -i huawei
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 12d1:1506 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Modem/Networkcard
[marja@Mga5_64bit ~]$

Yes

[marja@cldrn_64 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep usb_modeswitch
usb_modeswitch-2.4.0-1.mga6
usb_modeswitch-data-20160803-1.mga6
[marja@cldrn_64 ~]$

Did you try running usb_modeswitch as root?

Sorry, I'm googling myself silly, but I don't see how to give a switching method


# usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 14fe
Look for default devices ...
   product ID matched
 Found devices in default mode (1)
Access device 005 on bus 002
Get the current device configuration ...
Current configuration number is 1
Use interface number 0

USB description data (for identification)

Warning: no switching method given. See documentation
-> Run lsusb to note any changes. Bye!

(well, I did see some '-M "a_very_long_string"' in examples, but I don't dare to blindly try that)

CC'ing usb_modeswitch maintainer, to help find out whether this is a usb_modeswitch issue.

Btw, if it is:
Is the kernel maintainer group only meant for packages with "kernel" in the name?
usb_modeswitch is in the "System/Kernel and hardware" group

Hmmm! This is why I did not do this update for these packages but someone else has done this update in my place before asking me :(

I'll try to find a copy of 

   usb_modeswitch-data-20160112-1.mga6 and 
   usb_modeswitch-2.3.0-1.mga6

tonight and downgrade to them.

Maybe you can try fedora's packages to see what's happens:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=785537
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=785540

Or try usb_modeswitch-2.4.0-2.mga6
I've added a missing systemd unit + 2 fixes from FC (a crash fix and an undefined memory issue)

(In reply to David GEIGER from comment #8)
Well the thing is, it's needed for supporting some devices (see http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ChangeLogData)
I guess that's why it got updated

Thanks Thierry :-)

Now lsusb shows:

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

And internet works :-)

I'll open another report tomorrow for a remaining issue: draknetcenter does not show I'm connected. 
It shows HUAWEI HUAWEI Mobile as Wired (Ethernet) wwp0s29f7u1i1
But when checking the Network Monitor, there is _no_ trafic for wwp0s29f7u1i1,
but there _is_ trafic in a the tab with "mobile or dongle icon"ppp0

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

I'll first try to reproduce this in a different cauldron, I've just spent an hour trying to get good information from my logs etc, but there are too many elements that might make this a corner case.
