I'm guessing there's probably something I don't understand about OpenWRT and installing packages or installing packages across versions or some such thing.
I also tried this version but that install command fails, and also leaves us without a binary. I figured it might be as simple as updating to a newer version, as opkg install īut, though that command succeeds, we are simply left apparently without any usb_modeswitch binary, which clearly won't help. Looks like this is the version bundled with OpenWRT 12.09 "Attitude Adjustment", upon which the Mark V firmware is based (I think). * usb_modeswitch: handle USB devices with multiple modes The version usb_modeswitch that's included is usb_modeswitch -e Note that I'm using MarkV firmware 2.4.0. There have also been two updates in 2015 fixing various Pantech stuff. (thanks to Adam Goode) and Blackberry Q10/Z10 (thanks to Daniel Mende) Two new dedicated control message functions to support Pantech LTE It appears that Pantech support was added at: Chasing this further, I found the release notes for usb_modeswitch. Running lsusb gives the exact same output as before. USB description data (for identification)

To get there, we need a file called "10a9:6080" at /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/ with the contents:

Following the provided link provides some insight but it's a little murky. As you can see in that list, we need to switch the vendor and product IDs from 10a9:6080 to 10a9:6085. It is on the list of potentially compatible modems.
