huawei 3G usb modem not working

[thet]

my 3G usb modem is not working in ubuntu 8.04 beta. it was working in 7.10

the modem is recognized by the kernel and initialized, but it gets disconnected from usb by the kernel or whatever.
/var/log/messages says following, which is repeated endlessly:

it's a huawei e220 usb modem.

[thet (thet)]

with the latest updates it seems to be fixed now

[thet (thet)]

the latest ubuntu 8.04 beta updates made the modem work again. :)

[Siegfried Gevatter (rainct)]

Yeah, I can confirm this :).

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

It does not seem to work (completely) for others, see bug 105545.
Please try, if the proposed updated hal-info does not cause regressions for you (it's available in my PPA).

[Siegfried Gevatter (rainct)]

No problems with that new version :).

[thet (thet)]

no problems with updated hal-info for me too :)
