Public bug reported:
Prior to latest update (but after last full upgrade to Oneiric Beta 1,)
3G connection using a Longcheer WM66A modem was possible. As of
September 3 update of network-manager, the modem dials and connects
successfully, but disconnects immediately due to a 'ip-config-
unavailable' reason:
