Doesn't seem to be a kernel issue, but more of some kind of interaction between network-manager and modemmanager. No need to keep the bug task open for linux.
Bartosz; that's not very helpful. Debian packages are very different that those we use for Ubuntu, at least for NetworkManager. The package available in 11.10 is one that was thoroughly tested with various different scenarios. While it may happen that things slip and fail to work; in this particular case it appears to be very specific to that device. If not specific to all Huawei E220s, then specific to that particular dongle/firmware. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- 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/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu in my HP Pavilion dv6745tx laptop.
