Thanks for your tips. I always unplug the modem when it doesn't work. And since I only (have) use of the modem while on the road, it's always unplugged when arriving at my destination anyway. And while I've not tried restarting the machine right after the modem fails to connect, I don't think it will make any difference since I've rebooted the machine several times in between the moments I actually tried using the modem. And it failed to connect every time anyway.
I always keep a look at /var/log/syslog when trying to get online, I even did that when using 11.04 (how bad is that anyway - having to anticipate for failure instead of just using the device...). That's how I noticed the "Invalid error code: 303" and found your bug report on the Fedora bug tracker and link to this page :) I'll keep a look out for the "...claimed port ttyUSBX" message, but somehow I feel like it's not going to show up whatsoever... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875455 Title: Cannot find Huawei modem (open port) after restart if connection wasn't manually dropped - regression since Natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/875455/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
