Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I have two mobile internet sticks (with each having 2 GB of credit)
for three pretty good reasons:
1. You can't see (easily) how much of the credit is left so when one
is empty I have a backup.
2. Often you are at a location where not all providers get there
with their signals so it might happen that from where you currently
are only one of the two gets a network connection.
I have a friend having two himself for the
same reasons and I think other people do that too.
3. My personal third reason for having two: I want to
help out with testing the mobile internet sticks (I do this on
a regular basis with each new beta coming out).
Since one of the last kernel updates for Ubuntu 10.04 it happens
now, that the autoconnect of the two mobile connections does
not work properly any more (I have set the mobile connections
both to autoconnect). Either one of the two connection configurations
get activated using the wrong modem (eg I plug in the Orange modem
and the connection for Drei gets activated) or network manager totally
refuses to connect after a short attempt.
I cannot really say exactly what happens because there seem to occur
different race conditions when I plug a modem in leading to slightly different
effects when I try it several times.
These are my two modems:
The first one is from Drei:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem
/ E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem
and the second from Orange:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem
I guess, network manager somehow does not save the IDs correctly I used
when configuring the connection. However, in gconf-editor I cannot find
an appropriate setting for network connections that tries to be the
modem. What configuration files should I post that you can have a look
or what logfiles in particular are of interest in this particular case?
