Latest kernel (2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux) seems to make no improvement to the reliability of connection with my e169. I get maybe 40-50% first-time connections.
But I did find the information on this helpful (http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=47200). Basically, if your modem does not connect, do ls -la /dev/ttyU*. If that reports no such file or directlory, load the usb-serial module with sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1001 (change the product=* to suit your modem). ls -la /dev/ttyU* should now report at least /dev/ttyUSB0 and Network Manager will connect. (If you use wicd and wvdial/gnome-ppp, manually start connection.) You may still have problems with DNS (it seems connected but won't reach a web address), if so, disconnect any wireless networks and restart your mobile broadband. For me It help to have the DNS addresses listed under the IPv4 settings tab. -- Several Huawei USB dongle don't work with kernel 2.6.31-12.40 (2.6.31.1 update related) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
