It's an established Ubuntu policy that another person (not the original reporter) should confirm the bug separately: <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage#Confirming>. I have searched for existing bug reports and upstream reports (that would have allowed me to confirm your report straight away), but with no success. (Sorry if I may seem rude or absurd).
As for your second observation, I'm trying to reproduce the bug myself and (in case) open a second separate bug report. Thanks for pointing it out. -- 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.
