Public bug reported: My Huawei E1762 modem is the only method I use to connect to the internet. If a dropout occurs (sometime frequently in my location), the modem is no longer recognised by network-manager and I can't reconnect.
I have tried sudo restart network-manager and sudo restart modemmanager, this works sometimes after several minutes, but is so inconsistent, it's quicker to simply reboot to get a connect to the web. I have also tried physically pulling the usb modem and reinserting with a combination of the above commands -- nothing seems to work consistently in 11.10. In 11.04, I could run sudo killall modem-manager from a remote desktop and get my network going again. I'm not sure what logs would help debug this. Advice would be appreciated, please. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/905622 Title: Mobile broadband fails after dropout Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: My Huawei E1762 modem is the only method I use to connect to the internet.
