Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
In Lucid, network-admin has no Connections tab, which is still mentioned in the modems configuration page. So network-admin should be removed, and ModemManager be presented instead. It's installed by default and integrates correctly with NetworkManager.
The problem is, it's hard to fix this without breaking translations, but it might be worth it, because ATM this page is *completely* useless, since there's no way to get the described UI back, even by installing packages.
See bug 574067 about the removed Connections tab. Another solution would be to bring this tab back, since UbuntuStudio seems to need it.

Thanks for the bug. This is definitely something that we can investigate solving as part of our plans for a Lucid update to ubuntu-docs. It's not a problem to remove material, as that will not break translations. Equally, we have a plan to release updated translations too, so if we can keep the new strings to a minimum, it is worth fixing this bug.
The problem we have is that most ubuntu-docs members aren't familiar with serial modems so can't test this use case. Milan, if you have any experience with this type of modem and can draft some short material which improves the user experience here, we would be very pleased to review it.
