Public bug reported: huawei E355 is a USB router (1x Ethernet-over-USB, 5 x WLAN) [1].
with ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (3.8 series of kernel), it was recognised and worked properly by default. a connection was created under the 'wired connection' option just by plugging the device into the machine. however, since then it never worked properly. in (x)ubuntu 13.10, an alternative worked [2,3]; which unfortunately stopped working in xubuntu 14.04. expected behaviour: one connection under wired connection and one under wifi connection should be available. ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, ubuntu 13.04 performed in expected manner. present behaviour: only wifi hotspot generated by the router could be used. the ethernet over usb function is totally unavailable in (x)ubuntu 14.04. possible reason: cdc_ncm kernel was changed beyond 3.8 series but the changes was not considered in the modem manager. in [2,3], the provided solution was based on deactivating the changes made in the cdc_ncm beyond 3.8 kernel series.
