hi people just installed 11.10 and have this problem from start. i had this same problem on maverick also ,random disconnections often with complete system crash(keyboard leds flashing and system not responding).dont know which modem manager i was using then but it was all the same with all maverick kernels and updates.
i am using huawei E153 ,and i noticed this was mostly happening when switching from 2g to 3g .when i set up connection to use only 3g crashes went down significantly. When i used gnome ppp there was no crashes now with 11.10 i was using its own mm 0.5 and it was horror. after disconnection modem was visible with lsusb and usb-devices but i couldnt make it work even with manually running usb-modeswitch . a note for gnome ppp in 11.10 ,for some reason it gave me error saying it cannot start pppd. after runing it as root it was ok now i followed above advice in #110 and tried mm 0.4 .so far so good(only one disconnect but w/o long term side effects :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 and E1550 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/modemmanager/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
