Help with 6.7 offline add Huawei E8372

Post by virag0 » 2015/09/04 09:12:28

Hi there,
i installed 6.7 using USB Install now I have trouble running the Huawei E8372 wifi dongle
I loaded USB-modeswitch-2.2.5 then libusb-1.0.9
But the source fails to compile and the x86_64 lib rpm does not deploy.


i have the dongle loaded as a device, virbr0 which had an Pingable IP address but no go

The Centos is down so I cannot use together yum commands and rpm to install
And remediate this trouble so would be excellent.
Can some wizard please assist me, I am stuck in a hospital ward and And quite ill
Thanks very much


Cheers

You do not set modeswitch-2.2.5 on CentOS 6.7!
You have two options:
1. Сonnect Lux repo, and install usb_modeswitch-1.2.6-1.el6.lux.1.x86_64.rpm;
2. Connect RPMforge repo, and install usb_modeswitch-1.1.5-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm.
I would put a fresh package from Lux repo.

Login as root then go to /etc/yum.repos.d
now create lux.repo
conf file just need this:

Code: Select all

[lux]
name=Lux Repository (CentOS6)
baseurl=http://repo.iotti.biz/CentOS/6/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://repo.iotti.biz/CentOS/6/repodata/

Next:

Code: Select all

# yum install usb_modeswitch
