hello, nmapplet uses modemmanager to work with 3g mobile devices but its not a dependency so you must install it manually - in the next puredyne release it will be there as standard but for now: sudo aptitude install modemmanager and restart the network applet then all should work fine HTH rob > This problem also happened to me with the karmic ubuntu install, but i then > had a choice of updating via ethernet and the problem was solved after that. > One idea came to me that maybe because the usbmodem also has hard-disk > space, and that this could be blocking the kernel from loading the right > modules?????????I had this happen to me before with puppylinux and a usb > headphone+mic set.
