On my Windows laptop using either Firefox or Internet Explorer I was able to surf the net while wirelessly connected to the Pineapple. I disconnected the LAN cable from my Pineapple and connected my laptop to it wirelessly instead, then PuTTYed back into the Pineapple again and typed the Linux command ping 8.8.8.8 - which worked!ġ5. I clicked Network > Mobile Broadband and changed the settings to those shown here:ĪPN: ġ4. Using Firefox I went to the Pineapple's web interface (172.16.42.1:1471).ġ3. I then saved and exited the file and also exited PuTTY too.ġ2. Thankfully the VID (19d2) was already correct but the dongle name and PID needed changing to MF respectively.ġ1. To create a new file with the name 19d2:1405 but based on 19d2:1224 file I ran the Linux command:

As there was no such file in the list, I looked for a file whose name came close to my dongle's, but before it in sequence (19d2:1224 was closest).ĩ. Still at the Pineapple's Linux command line I ran the commands:Īnd searched the list shown for a file that corresponded to my dongle's xxxx:xxxx number. At the Pineapple's Linux command line I ran the commandĪnd made a note of the xxxx:xxxx hex number corresponding to my dongle (in my case 19d2:1405)Ĩ. I then plugged my dongle back into the Pineapple.ħ. Presumably this meant the mode-switch had worked.Ħ. Discovered that after running these commands I could plug the dongle straight into a laptop (Windows/Linux) and got an immediate connection to the internet without having to do anything else. Opkg install comgt kmod-usb-serial kmod-usb-serial-option kmod-usb-serial-wwan usb-modeswitchĥ. PuTTYed into the Pineapple's Linux command line. I made sure that my Pineapple could share my Windows laptop's internet connection and that they were physically connected to each other by a LAN cable.ģ.

From memory, this is what I did from scratch to make it work:ġ.
