I tried ubuntu 11.10 32 bit, 64 bit and Linux Mint 64 bit, based on ubuntu 11.10. same problem. the only way to install u200 modem was to shut down network manager. i am not a linux-genius and i can't stand having network problems. it's ok, when bugs are not related to networking, because i can figure out those by myself, using google. but if a problem is related to network and i CAN'T reach google because i have only wimax connection then i have no other option than installing older version of linux, which supports my network device.
sorry, too sad for me ;D thank you guys for teaching me how to shut down network manager, that was SO helpful yet, at least until i can install deb files from my hard <; good luck!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/889411 Title: [Samsung CMC-370] MEZON modem not detected Status in “madwimax” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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. 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).
