I just installed 9.10 and then performed a distribution upgrade to 10.04
my only internet access being an E620 modem.

The Modem is recognised in Karmic allowing the packages for the upgrade to be 
installed.
However at some point in the upgrade the modem is only recognised as a mass 
storage device. 
meaning when I reboot I have no internet connection.

However having been through this before I have

usb-modeswitch-data_20100127-1_all.deb
usb-modeswitch_1.1.0-2_i386.deb

both stored on the mini sd card in the modem.

using gdebi I install them ignoring the warning about both packages
being available in a software channel as I plainly can't connect to the
afore mentioned channel due to both of these packages not being
installed as part of the upgrade.

reinserting the device the mode change is performed and the connection
which was configured in karmic connects allowing me to make this
comment.

Obviously the upgrade script needs modifying to include the download and 
installation of these 2 files.
something which I thought had been established prior to the release of Lucid in 
early April it is rather disappointing  that in mid August this still hasn't 
happened.
