Have managed to get a little bit further... i found this thread

I created a file called 12d1:1f01 in the /etc/usb_modeswitch.d folder with the following code
Code:
# Huawei E3531s-2 - switch to modem mode instead of HiLink CDC-Ether mode
TargetVendor=0x12d1
TargetProduct=0x1f01
# switch to 12d1:1001 (modem mode, 3 virtual serial ports)

# switch to 12d1:14dc (default HiLink CDC-Ether mode)
# MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000a11062000000000000100000000000000"
# switch to 12d1:1442 (debug mode with 2 virtual serial ports)
# MessageContent="55534243000000000000000000000011060000000000000000000000000000"
Rebooted the RPi and the Huawei stick is still listed as mass storage.
If i now run the following
usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1f01 -M '5553424312345678000000000000001106200000010000000 0000000000000'
It works and a lsusb now shows the Huawei USB stick as a HSDPA modem with an ID of 12d1:1001
I also now have several ttyusb files listed
One issue is you have to run the usb-modeswitch command on every boot up so i need to work out a way to run that on boot.
Next stage is to get a dialing program to work.
Any suggestions on how to automate the usb_modeswitch command or suggestions on dalliers would be appreciated.
Thanks...
