Bug Description
hi i use HUAWEI - HSDPA USB Modem (Model:E220) to connect to net
this modem was provided by the ISP provider here in Oman
i use Ubuntu 9.10 release (Karmic Koala)
while connecting to internet, my USB modem is detected by the system and it appears in the desktop
But Network Manager does not display "MOBILE BROADBAND" as an option
I had to restart the system again and then only the modem is detected
Is there a way out for this ?

I have a very similar experience with an HTC Hero sharing its network connection over a USB connection on an Acer Aspire D150 netbook. Am running 9.10 stable, and the phone is on the t-mobile network in the UK (badged here as the T-Mobile G2, but it is an HTC Hero).
I've tried this several ways and I'm certain of the behaviour. If I connect the phone, choose the share network option then the network manager attempts to connect. It reports that the connection is successful, but there is no routing that I can confirm. Ping of any non-local IP fails (even of the default gateway reported by nm). Also all the connections fail. I get the same behaviour if I attach the phone at boot time before the machine is started.
However, if I connect it all up, wait until it reports that it has connected and then re-start the machine without unplugging anything it works.
