Hello,

since unraid 7.1.2 - 7.1.4 i lost my huawei 4G dongle and only recognises it as mass storage device and not a network device, is there anything i can do? its like a driver issue..

Possibly it uses the cdd_ether driver, which is now blacklisted by default since it causes issues for some Asus and Asrock boards with IPMI, type:

touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/cdc_ether.conf

Reboot and see if there's any difference; if it's the same post the diagnostics.

You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics (with everything in the one zip file) to your next post in this thread so we can see what Unraid is seeing. It is always a good idea when asking questions to supply your diagnostics so we can see details of your system, how you have things configured, and the current syslog.

That should be a different issue, as long as the driver is no longer blacklisted, it should always be available, but you can try to manually initialize it:

insmod cdc_ether

I thought that should work, but looks like it doesn't. Anyway, just having the driver not blacklisted should be enough; something else may be going on.
