I found this temp fix Run the following command at the console, prior to plugging in the modem to the USB slot;
watch -n1 sudo rmmod usb-storage This would remove the usb_storage module, and would make the device not detected as a USB storage device. From here I can connect to the internet using the Network Manager's Mobile Broadband as I normally would. p/s: Do take note that this would make the system to not be able to detect any USB storage devices such as your thumb drives, till the rmmod command is killed. It's working fine with me until a definitive fix is found -- 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
