I have an Mobile Broadband USB (HUAWEI E173), which can also work as a WiFi Adapter USB.

The problem is that Ubuntu 12.04 only recognizes it as an Mobile Broadband USB, not as an Wireless Adapter USB, is there a way to "trick" Ubuntu to recognize my USB as a Wireless Adapter?

Thanks in advance.

Notes:

  • I used the lsusb command and got this:

    `Bus 002 Device 009: ID 12d1:1c23 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.`
    
  • I have 64-bit Ubuntu Installed, so it may just be a driver problem.
