installing a mobile broadband disk

.

hello ...

on windows ... my mobile broadband

" 1&1 notebook flatrate usb stick "

will install automatically ...
if the device is plugged into any usb port
the first time >

then after installation > a blue window will appear
with the sim pin entry ... all the services available

sms ... phone book ... mb used ... settings etc
so I can use all of them !

with knoppix 7.2 live  ...
it will request first the sim lock pin
then if klicked on

" mobile broadband connection "

I can select the cell provider ... the nation ...
and then it will connect to the internet !
but no sms etc service possible ...

on the Q4OS ... a disk symbol will appear
this I can then mount ... then a window appears
but no where any " install " entry

after opening the disk >
being in fact a complex usb pen
all the files in there will becoming visible
even an > install.exe ... file ...

but klicking on this
will not do ... 

how could I install this device to the full extend ?
is this even possible under linux ?

or is the most possible
the connection to the internet ?
as with the knoppix ....

Re: installing a mobile broadband disk

yes ... thank you ....

I did find this out from some other forum too
and even wrote the text for it

so here it is

I have Q4OS now installed on a second pentium
and it is running there too

and if I connect this inter net stick from 1&1
a ZTE MF 190 ... a cd is shown

I can mount this ... and have the content shown
but there is one problem

this has not only a virtual CD rom in it
but the driver for the device as well

so the Q4OS will need what is called
a usb mode switch

what 1&1 calling ... unter windows
is shown as a >>> a usb splitter <<<

do you know where I can find one ?
for O4OS debian 10 buster
 
then the OS can load the driver first
then load the data stored in the virtual CD rom

now the question
can I use a mode switch from any linux
or do I need one for especially Q4OS ?
or debian buster ?

and where can I download it ?
