Forgot to note that this E1690 Modem was working fine in Ubuntu 12.04 (same machine). This is a bit older modem and "starts" as 12d1:1446, and is switched by usb-modeswitch to: 12d1:1001 (not the 12d1:1436 that ivano mentions for newer Huawei modems).
UPDATE: OK, now it seems to be showing every time (so no problem). Will need to test a bit more. Maybe I am going crazy! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244775 Title: huawei E1962 dongle to be plugged twice To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-modeswitch/+bug/1244775/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
