I confirm this bug. In 13.04 i386 the DNA (ISP) 4g modem Sierra Air: lsusb: Bus 006 Device 003: ID 1199:68a3 Sierra Wireless, Inc. MC8700 Modem
did not work out of the box but following these instructions funcioned just fine: http://forum.ubuntu-fi.org/index.php?topic=42920.0 The forum is in finnish but basically required to create the file /lib/udev/rules.d/81-mm-sierra.rules with the contents: SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1199", ATTRS{idProduct}=="68a3", ENV{ID_MM_CANDIDATE}="0" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1199", ATTRS{idProduct}=="68a3", ENV{DEVTYPE}="net" After the std upgrade to 13.10... the Sierra is no longer recognized as wwan0 and I for one have not been able to figure out yet what to do to fix this. I would rate this severe, a confirmed bug and it affects at least all DNS clients with this modem. Following these instructions: http://mycusthelp.net/SIERRAWIRELESS/_cs/AnswerDetail.aspx?aid=44 to install sierra's own drivers did not help! If needed, I am willing n able to supply further info for debugging and fixing this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1219256 Title: usbnet changes in 3.10 stop use of sierra_net devices Status in The Linux Kernel: Unknown Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: (see upstream bug report) --- ApportVersion: 2.12.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: jozo 2529 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: jozo 2529 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found.
