DLink DWM-156 3G USB Modem with Fedora 14

Below are the details for getting a DLink DWM-156 USB 3G Modem working with Fedora 14. Fedora 15 seems to recognise it without any issues. I’m reproducing it here from a post I made quite a while ago, on this forum, since I had trouble finding it when I needed it the other day.

The detach method doesn’t seem to work for me. I did find that eject -s sr0 (or 1,2, etc. depending on what has been assigned to the fake CDROM “ConnMgr Storage”) does switch the device, though – but then the device has had a firmware update, even though the hardware is an earlier version than what is on sale today.

>lsusb | grep D-Link
Bus 001 Device 018: ID 07d1:a800 D-Link System

>eject -s sr1

>lsusb | grep D-Link
Bus 001 Device 019: ID 07d1:3e02 D-Link System

This is under Fedora 14, 64 bit .

A little bit more digging and I’ve come up with:
