I just upgraded my netbook from Ubuntu 11.xx to 12.04 and after that I could not use my Alcatel X215 3G modem any more. With the former version of Ubuntu, I had installed the driver-tool package from Alcatel plus usb-modeswitch and wdial. All worked perfectly. After the upgrade no way. I could not find any trace of /dev/ttyUSB* in the file system.

How can I get my modem to work in 12.04?

  • Provide output from; **lsusb | grep 1bbb** – david6 Jun 15 '12 at 08:34
  • Same issue as: http://askubuntu.com/questions/131407/dodo-usb-modem-alcatel-onetouch-x220l-not-working-since-update-to-12-04 – david6 Jun 15 '12 at 08:43
  • @david6 That's a different modem. Are you sure this is a duplicate? – Eliah Kagan Jun 23 '12 at 23:13
  • It may not be a true **duplicate** question, but is likely the same issue. If this user posted the **lsusb** output for their Alcatel modem (eg. 1bbb:????), it would be much clearer. – david6 Jun 24 '12 at 00:11

I followed the instructions below and got X220L work after restart.
