Hi,
just tested my MF636 on EeePC 1000H with LL daily-live of 18-Mar-2010, which connected but needs a reboot after removing/attaching modem to connect again. No more looping creation/disconnection on ttyUSBx, and no terminal freeze.

kernel: 2.6.32-16-generic #25-Ubuntu
modemmanager: 0.3-0ubuntu2
network-manager: 0.8-0ubuntu2

Procedure #1:
- boot with the modem attached
- system loads ('test Ubuntu'), click on network-manager icon, click on 'new broadband ...' to setup and connect
(if 'new broadband ...' did not appear, wait some seconds and try again)
- connect, browse, all OK, disconnect
- remove modem
- wait some seconds
- attach modem
- wait, click on network manager icon, 'mobile broadband connection option' is NOT there!
- wait, retry above, NO mobile broadband connection.
- shut down, remove LiveUSB, attach LiveUSB, boot and retry works OK.

Procedure #2
- boot without the modem
- wait for the system to load ('test Ubuntu')
- attach modem
- click on network-manager icon to see if a 'broadband connection' option exists
>>> I had to wait around 2 minutes for this option to appear
- connect, browse, all OK, disconnect
- remove modem
- wait some seconds
- attach modem
- wait, click on network manager icon, 'mobile broadband connection option' is NOT there!
- wait, retry above, NO mobile broadband connection.
- shut down, remove LiveUSB, attach LiveUSB, boot and retry works OK.

Feel free to ask any more test for further analysis (please describe full procedure).

Regards,
George
