ZTE (Smartfren) AC682 Modem does not eject in Ubuntu 12.04
I have a ZTE AC 682, which is a CDMA 1X Modem. It has two modes. In the storage mode it has vendor id of 0x19d2 and product id 0xffde. When ejected, the device becomes a modem and the product id becomes 0xffdd.
I have used Ubuntu 9.10, 10.10, 12.04, 12.10 (Alpha2). In the first two versions a simple:
"sudo eject /dev/sr1"
was enough to eject the device. But when I came to use 12.04, the above command gives:
"eject: unable to find or open device for: `/dev/sr1'"
The modem has a pdf file (in storage mode) which states the steps of modem installation. (Download: https:/
This is not only in Ubuntu, it is also happening with all the recent linux distros. I have seen similar posts in the Ubuntu forum, but nobody could provide a solution that works. I have also tried usb_modeswitch as well, but no luck there. Now I am tired and want a solution badly.
The modem works fine with Windows XP, Vista and 7. Is my modem "outdated" for a modern OS?
