= Finding the data for a new dongle =
The first step is to find the USB ID(s) for the dongle. This is best achieved by using a computer which supports the dongle.
Linux users can use 'lsusb' to list the attached USB devices. Run 'lsusb', then plug the dongle in and rerun 'lsusb'. Then wait for 30 seconds
or so, and run 'lsusb' again - this may show mode switching having taken place.
For example, with a ZTE MF112 lsusb initially reports
ID 19d2:0103 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM MF112
and then mode switches and lsusb reports
ID 19d2:0031 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM MF110/MF627/MF636
Strangely, with mode switching disabled the USB ID may be different from either of the previous USB IDs. The ZTE MF112 with mode switching disabled reports
ID 19d2:0016 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM
Armed with the USB ID(s) it's time to hope that someone else has already found the remaining data. Let's go searching.
