Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
When left-clicking on the NetworkManager applet, the Sierra modem is not shown and cannot be used.
Not sure if this is a really a NetworkManager problem, or with linux-usb.

While searching for the USB device id 683c I found this on the linux-usb list where Dirk Nehring claims that MC8785 is wrongly assigned to this device instead of MC8790, which would be correct.
I have no knowledge to verify whether this is true with the current jaunty development branch.
Is the wireless card recognized when you enter "ifconfig" and "iwconfig"?
