** Description changed: 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. + http://www.mezon.lt/Pagalba/Parsisiuntimui/ ) 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 from unofficial sources - + https://sites.google.com/site/mezonlinux/ or http://mezon.crit.lt/ ) 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.
