@madbiologist: Brilliant, thanks for pointing me to the other bug. I've delinked this from the E220 upstream bug and added a comment to the description saying this bug does not apply to E220. And yes, it was exactly the same modem (but I'll address that in the other bug)
** Bug watch removed: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #14499 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14499 ** Description changed: SRU Justification: Impact: The Huawei modem (with a certain firmware it seems) claims to support a certain sense data format, but does not do so. Fix: Change to USB storage, which lets the device fallback to a shorter sense format. This patch went into 2.6.31.5 ("usb-storage: Workaround devices with bogus sense size"). --- I'm using a Huawei E169 USB dongle to connect to a GSM mobile broadband network. It used to work out-of-the-box with Jaunty and previous versions of Karmic (kernel 2.6.31-11 and previous). However the device doesn't work any more with the latest kernel. Dmesg gives me repatedly this message: dmesg: option: option_instat_callback: error -108 lsusb: Bus 005 Device 005: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem My system: Dell XPS M1530, see attached result of "lshw" This bug apparently affects other people as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8070873#post8070873 + + NB: Remaining bug with Huawei E220/E270 is bug #449394, not this bug -- Several Huawei USB dongle don't work with kernel 2.6.31-12.40 (2.6.31.1 update related) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
