As I said in my first comment. I tried: Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit, 64 bit and Ubuntu DVD version on three different computers. With the same modem. And got always the same problem.
What about installing deb files? If you are not online, you can not install deb files. -- 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/889411 Title: [Samsung CMC-370] MEZON modem not detected Status in “madwimax” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The SAMSUNG SWC-U200 MEZON USB modem (store link, in Lithuanian: <http://www.mezon.lt/isigyk/papildoma-informacija/atnaujinkite-mezon- usb-modemo-tvarkykles/id/712/>) is not detected by the most recent version of NetworkManager (trunk version available at ppa:network- manager/trunk on November 12th, 2011) even if the most recent drivers (madwimax_160-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb) are installed. This makes some applications that detect if an Internet connection if present (e.g. Software Center) break. Workaround: stop NetworkManager (sudo stop networkmanager), so that applications that query NetworkManager will operate in "fallback" mode (they assume a connection has already been established). Log files are in comments #6 and #8.
