Hmmm, digging more into it and following the usb_modeswitch part of this blog https://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how ... and-wvdial I found out it has to be a usb_modeswitch issue.
The MessageContent stated there in the /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf didn't work for my dongle. Further digging brought me to device_reference.txt https://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswi ... erence.txt in https://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/#download section "Known working hardware".
Scrolling through the file I took the one closest to 19d2:1225, to be 19d2:1224, ZTE MF190. Copied the last 3 lines to my /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf and turned DisableSwitching=1 and the thing worked!!! So my /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf looks like this now:
This seems to work once, direct qfter I mqde the changes, but after restart, no switching.
I’m going further with usb…modeswitch [https://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/[/url]and se how far I come and come back later…. But if someone have suggestions…….
