Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.4kernel[1] (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-rc5-precise/ ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/982283 Title: Huawei e160 modem isn't always detected. Freezes computer briefly. Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Huawei e160 modem isn't consistently detected. It's a hit and miss affair. Sometimes requires several attempts of plugging in and out. This modem also has a MicroSD card slot and this is probably what is causing the issue. However, no additional drive is reported or mounted automatically. It just takes 2-5 minutes for the modem to be detected. Following which running it is usually hassle free.
