Public bug reported: I just installed Precise from scratch on a computer where I previously had Oneiric and Nokia CS-17 as 3G modem and it used to work fine. Now it usb-modeswitch seems to segfault about 90 % of the time when I connect the modem to the USB port.
The device is recognized and is shown by lsusb correctly, and udev runs usb_modeswitch, but that fails.
