modeswitch string, and the ZTE MF100 and MF110 entries only differ in the USB IDs. So for the MF112 it's worth trying to copy those entries
but modifying the USB IDs.
 
[ In fact, the modem USB ID for the ZTE MF112 is the same (19d2:0031) as for the already supported ZTE_MF627 - so once the TG582n detects the
MF112 in storage mode and mode switches the device, then the TG582n detects the dongle as a ZTE MF627 ].
 
== Finding the config from the Internet ==
 
There are several external sites to consult in case someone else has already worked out the data for the new dongle:

different numbers.
 
Once the dongle is recognised, the next step is to configure the 3G service ([[Router_Router -_TG582N_ TG582N -_3G 3G|3G]]) and then see if mobile broadband
works. On the web interface 'Broadband Connection' should show the mobile broadband connection, and 'View More' should show operator
and signal strength info - if the signal strength info is missing, the 'AT interface' might be wrongly configured.
