HUAWEI e353 with ZeroShell

This page describes how to make a HUAWEI e353 work with Zeroshell 1.0beta14, which does not work out of the box.

Log into zeroshell web interface.
System > Setup > Startup/Cron > Pre Boot
Paste the following command lines:

# HUAWEI e353 dongle setup
usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1446 -P 0x12d1 -V 0x1506 -M "55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000" -n 1 -m 0x01
modprobe option -r
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12D1 product=0x1506

Press the “Test” button, to make sure ugly error messages don’t appear.
Check the Status checkbox
Press the Save button
Reboot
Log into zeroshell web interface.
System > Setup > Network > New 3G Modem
The one i have works with ttyUSB3. However try them all out. I think ttyUSB0 was connecting as well, however it wasn’t working.

I don’t think this is the cleanest method. I was hoping that a modification to /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf would be enough, however i wasn’t sure how to modify that file in such a way that it would not change after a reboot. Maybe storing it in /Database/etc? I canot seem to find documentation on how the boot process of zeroshell works, and how/where to modify things, if necessary.
